UPDATE: This drawing is now closed. The winner is: Jasmine Augustine!
One week from today, the Christy Awards will be presented! Wedded to War is a finalist in two categories this year, so why not celebrate with a Charlotte-inspired give-away? You can see the other finalists in my categories below, but I'd encourage you to take a look at the complete list of nominees in every category here. (And just in case you're wondering what the Christy Awards are all about, it just so happens that an article in Book Fun Magazine answers that very question. Click here to visit the May issue, and see the article "What's the Deal with the Christy Awards?" on page 74. Find it easily by searching for "Christy.")
My Fellow Finalists
Wedded to War is also a finalist for the Golden Scroll Award (fiction category), which will be presented by the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association on June 23, AND it is a finalist for the Inspirational Reader's Choice Award (women's fiction category) which will be presented at the Romance Writers of America conference in mid-July. I figure, since I may not actually win any of these, let's go ahead and celebrate now with a give-away! :)
The Give-Away!
If you've read Wedded to War, you know that before Charlotte Waverly becomes one of the country's first female nurses during the Civil War, she was a privileged young woman living in Victorian-Age New York City. She smelled of rosewater, and drank orange & spice tea every afternoon. Her family's brownstone is full of lovely things, some of which were collected during European excursions.
So the Charlotte-inspired give-away includes:
-
A beautiful hand-embroidered linen table covering I personally picked up in Vienna, Austria, several years ago. This piece is about a yard square in size, and is typically placed diagonally on the center of your table, either layered on a full-size tablecloth, or simply placed on the bare table. This one is ivory with maroon and pink flowers. It still has the tag pinned to it--it's never been used!
- A canister of Tea Forte Sweet Orange & Spice loose leaf tea, enough for between 35 and 50 servings. YUM.
- Crabtree & Evelyn Rosewater-scented Little Luxuries gift-package. This includes their award-winning ultra-moisturising Hand Therapy, bubbly Bath & Shower Gel and hydrating Body Lotion.
