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

Why would I like to win this prize package? Number one is I LOVE tea, all kinds of tea, but Earl Grey is one of my favorites. Number two, I love reading, and Civil War novels are one of my favorites, loved Lynn Austin's series and I'd love to read yours! Number three, I love to cook and trying new recipes, so the recipe book would be a welcome addition to my kitchen. And Dances with Wolves, ah, love that movie and listening to the soundtrack would be special also. What a perfect prize package! God bless

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Sherri, this does sound like a perfect fit for you, then! I really enjoyed Lynn Austin's series, too. She was inducted into the Christy Award Hall of Fame the year my novel Wedded to War (first in my series) was a finalist in two categories. Good luck in the drawing!

Submitted by Rachael K on
There is nothing in that package I wouldn't like! It would be lovely to share books with more people - I often donate mine to church, but sometimes I want to keep a copy for myself! And I have to say, Dances With Wolves truly is one of the most beautiful soundtracks out there.

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Well Rachael, I'm glad we're in agreement about the Dances with Wolves soundtrack! It is absolutely gorgeous. :)

Submitted by Kathryn Voss on
I am such a Civil War buff. My ideal vacation would be to tour the Civil War battlefields. I would so love to win this package to feed my obsession!!!

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Yes! For my tenth wedding anniversary, my husband and I went back to Gettysburg to honor the 150th anniversary of the battle. I've been to several Civil War sites, but would love to see more! And, I'd be thrilled to feed your obsession with these books. Sounds like you would love all the history I incorporate into the stories. :)

I read "Abraham Lincoln: God's Humble Servant" by Ron L. Andersen a couple of years ago. It was a good read, although a bit too footnoted for my taste. And it did make me want to learn more about this great man and his era!

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Hi Scott, I haven't read that particular volume yet on Lincoln, but I'd like to! Thanks so much for entering the give-away!

Submitted by Tammy Cordery on
I would love to win this book with the cookbook and the CD. Wow. That is such a great idea.

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Hi Tammy, I'm glad you like it! I love to think of which music and food would go well with books, even if I don't belong to a book club. I just love themes. :)

I have read the first two books in this series and they are wonderful. So much detail. They seem so real that occasionally I had to put the book down for a while, walk away from it and just let it all sink in. This would be such a great prize..... I have several friends I would like to introduce to this series. Hope I win!

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Hi Jacki, I've heard that from a lot of readers, that there were times they had to just take a break. I completely understand! There is a lot to absorb! Thanks so much for stopping by.

Submitted by Mary Tullila on
Very interested in your books....great post.

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Hi Mary, I'm thrilled to hear that! Thanks so much for stopping by.

HOW WONDERFUL! I would love this for my Book Club*S* Thank you so much for the opportunity! I did go on Amazon to see about your other books too! WOO HOO! Kellie

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Hi Kellie, that's wonderful that you looked up the books on Amazon, too! It's always a good idea to see what others have to say about a book (or two, or more..). Good luck in the drawing!

Submitted by Amanda on
I've been wanting to read this series. I was a history major and this series sounds so good. Earl Grey (and Lady Grey) are my favorite teas too and Twinings is what I buy too. The cookbook sounds so interesting too. Thanks for the giveaway!

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Amanda, if you were a history major, I think you'd really love these books. I'm a history lover too, so I incorporate as much authentic history as I can into the stories without overloading the plot. I hope you get a chance to read them!

Submitted by Jocelyn Green on
Good morning everyone! 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!
