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

Hi Jocelyn, I would love to win. There are several of my reader friends who would love a copy as well. I had won a copy of Yankee In Atlanta but I never received the book r heard from them after I let them know. TY for the chance to win. I am a big Civil War buff. I am currently living in VA. and love all the Civil War history that surrounds me. I live about 5 miles from Abraham Lincolns grandparents house where his father was born. I lived in MD. before and would visit Gettysburg often. My mom was an antique dealer and has one of the largest Lincoln collections and has been featured in several books. I also have to mention that I love trying period cooking recipes. Dances with Wolves just so happen to be one of my all time favorite movies. ~ Blessings ~

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Lisa, this is a very sad story of you not getting your copy of Yankee! Please email me (jocelyn@jocelyngreen.com) OK? I want to make this right for you. I would love to see your mother's antique collection! And I totally second you on Dances with Wolves. One of the absolute best.

Submitted by Donna Simmons on
Sounds like a good book.

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Thanks Donna! I'm so glad you're here.

I would love to win this package! I recently started a small Christian fiction book club locally. Your books are up for upcoming reads and this would be a fun surprise. martha(at)lclink(dot)com

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Oh that's right, Martha, I remember seeing that on FB! Thanks so much for all you do for readers!

I would like to win this package as the book sounds good to me and has been on my tbr list, I love teas and the movie Dances with Wolves is one of my favorites so I am sure I would love the soundtrack. Thank you for the chance to win.

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Wonderful! Yes, if you loved the movie, you will adore the soundtrack. As I was writing, many times I would have to just close my eyes and enjoy the music. It makes me feel like soaring--on horseback! Ha!

Submitted by Sonja on
I would love this package. I enjoy Christian fiction so very much!

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Hi Sonja! Christian fiction has really been making great strides over the last decade, wouldn't you say? It's amazing to see what God is doing in this genre.

Submitted by Pam K. on
Since I really enjoyed Yankee in Atlanta (and the previous two books in this series), I'd love to win this great prize package to share the books with my book club. It's been awhile since we read and discussed a book set during the Civil War, so this would be perfect for us. The other items sound great as well. Thanks for the chance to win.

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
That would be terrific, Pam! Thank you for entering!

Submitted by Christine on
i enjoy historical fiction and look forward to reading more of your books.

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Thanks Christine! I'd be honored if you find the time to read more of my books!
