A Liberty Inspired Give-away!

I am so excited to offer today's give-away to one lucky reader! Widow of Gettysburg has officially launched, and I hope that many of you have your copies already in hand. Now, wouldn't you just love to enhance your reading experience? Christy-nominated author and craftista Joanne Bischof has created a handmade rag rug for this give-away package, just like the rag rugs in Liberty Holloway's farmhouse, and I'm contributing two CDs of music: the soundtrack to the Gettysburg movie, as well as the soundtrack to the movie Glory. (Glory tells the story of the 54th Mass. regiment which fought bravely at Fort Wagner a couple weeks after the battle of Gettysburg. One of my characters fought with the 54th. It is a GREAT movie!) I listened to both of these soundtracks as I was writing Widow of Gettysburg, and I can tell you without a doubt, you will LOVE hearing the music in the background while you read! And now imagine sinking your toes into a comfy rag rug--add a glass of lemonade and a slice of rhubarb pie, and you'll be all set for a total sensory experience! ;)

Bonus!

Now, for all you crafty people out there, Joanne has given us a special treat, and made a rag rug video tutorial using this rug as the example! So if you would like to make your own, you totally can. Just watch below. (Even if you aren't interested in the project, take a peek anyway to get to know Joanne, author of Be Still My Soul and Though My Heart Is Torn, a little better. The amazing music in the background was composed and performed by her very own father! How cool is that!?)

3. Go to my "Inspiring Faith and Courage" album on Pinterest and "repin" one or more of the pins there. Again, one entry for each repin.

6. If you've already read Widow but would still love this package, post a review on Amazon and you'll receive TWO entries! Now, if you haven't read Wedded to War (book 1 in the series) yet but would like to, and own an ereader device, say so in your comment. River North is throwing in a free ebook of Christy Award finalist Wedded to War to one reader who posts a review of Widow. :) I don't always check my reviews at Amazon, so please tell me after you've left a review so I can give you credit! Thanks!

Don't forget to tell me in the comments section if you've done any of these "extras"! Thank you! I will draw a winner on Friday, May 17! Good luck! If you don't win, though, I hope you won't let that stop you from finding a copy on your own. Read about the book and watch the book trailer here.
