Give-away: Yankee in Atlanta Book Club in a Box!

Thu, 2015-02-12 12:45 -- Jocelyn Green

UPDATE: This give-away is now closed, and the winner is Tiffany. Thank you so much to each and every one of you who entered!! I'll be doing another Spy of Richmond themed give-away in March so stay tuned! In honor of Abraham Lincoln's birthday today, I want to give away not just one of my Civil War novels, but an entire book club in a box! Enter to win this package:

  • Five signed copies of Yankee in Atlanta for you and your friends
  • Discussion questions (included in the back of each novel)
  • A box of Earl Grey tea (the character Vivian McKae's favorite). There's enough tea here for all of you to enjoy it while reading the novel, and during your book club's meeting, if you choose.
  • Dances with Wolves soundtrack to listen to during your book club. I listened to this while writing Yankee in Atlanta, especially the last part of the book--it is among my all-time favorite soundtracks!
  • Cooking for the Cause: Confederate Recipes and Substitutions. Use this booklet as a give-away during your book club, or prepare one of the recipes for your friends, or both!

Not familiar with Yankee in Atlanta yet? Read more about it here, see an excerpt, and check out what others had to say:

“Powerful historical fiction at its stunning best. Yankee in Atlanta crests the heights of excellence with a heroic tale of love and war so brutally honest and achingly beautiful, it will rent your heart and heal your soul. “ ~Julie Lessman, award-winning author of The Daughters of Boston and Heart of San Francisco series   “Once again, Jocelyn Green weaves together the intensity of war with the impact on human lives. In Yankee in Atlanta, we see two women on opposite sides of the battle lines, each experiencing the deprivations of wartime, each reeling from historical events, and each struggling personally. This is Civil War fiction at its best.”  ~Sarah Sundin, award-winning author of On Distant Shores   “Green has written a rare Civil War novel that hits no false historical notes. In a cruel and violent time that divided loyalties, families and hearts, Green’s heroines’ enduring courage, compassion and mercy show the wellspring from which a renewed nation could emerge from the fires of war.” ~Marc Wortman, PhD, author, The Bonfire: The Siege and Burning of Atlanta  

Yankee in Atlanta is book 3 in the Heroines Behind the Lines Civil War series. Book 4, Spy of Richmond, releases March 1! To enter the drawing for this give-away, please use the Rafflecopter tool below. I'll give you several ways to earn entries, but you only need to choose one of them. (Choosing more than one will increase your odds, though!) We start this give-away today, on Lincoln's birthday, and it will close at the end of Feb. 22, Washington's birthday. The winner will have three days to respond to my email with a mailing address once the give-away is closed. a Rafflecopter giveaway

What a wonderful way to share with my reading friends ! My late husbands grandfather fought in the Civil War and was wounded July 2 at Gettysburg. He lived to be 87. I have always loved history and I love how your books are written. The Civil War time period is one of my favorite periods to read and study. Thank you.

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Jackie, that is a fascinating connection to the Civil War! Wounded on July 2--do you happen to know which battle? So many to "choose from," sadly, eh? Thanks for stopping by!

Me too! This will be right up your alley, then, and so will the next book in the series, Spy of Richmond. LOTS of historical figures and events in this entire series.

I love learning history, while enjoying a good fictional story. You are a master at both.

Sara, Yes, I'm sure the themes in Yankee in Atlanta will be ones your army wives friends will be able to relate to. I hope this would be a refreshing experience for them!

Submitted by Brenda Murphree on
i would love to win! The Civil War era is my favorite!

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
You're a woman after my own heart, Brenda! :)

I love your books. It is obvious you love research and are gifted at making history come alive. A Widow in Gettysburg is one of my all time favorite books -- I had never really considered the impact of war on the civilians in the area. You made the horror come to life and gave a powerful legacy to those women and men who somehow struggled through those times.

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Thank you so much, Susan! Widow of Gettysburg has a special place in my heart, too.

Submitted by Andrea (aka rok... on
Still trying to figure out how the late composer John Berry connects with Atlanta, but wherever comes your inspiration! I lost my old tape of that many years back. Your book sounds grand, and since GWTW is my second favorite book EVER, I'd love to read this

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Hi Andrea, I can solve that music connection mystery for you. :) Dances with Wolves is a movie about a Civil War soldier out west, and at the end of Yankee in Atlanta, one of the Civil War soldier characters is also out west. That's all I can say without spoiling it. Thanks for entering!

Submitted by Peggy Detweiler on
I enjoyed reading A Widow in Gettysburg. I also enjoyed meeting you when you were in Gettysburg at the Seminary. I have always liked reading historical fiction and would like to read your other works.

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Peggy, I enjoyed meeting you, too! That trip to Gettysburg is among my fondest travel memories. Such a special place.

Submitted by Joan Arning on
I lead a book group from my church. We'd love to discuss your book!

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
That would be lovely, Joan! I hope you get a chance to do so!
