Want a Great Gift for You and a Friend? The Nutcracker’s Suite Giveaway!

by Chautona Havig · 4 Comments

Just in time for Christmas, The Nutcracker's Suite Giveaway offers a prize package including a book to share with a friend (if you like)! via @chautonahavig

I don’t know about you, but at Christmastime, I love a good mystery. If I can combine that mystery with something festive, well… yeah!  And I have a lot of friends who feel the same. So… I decided to do a giveaway! I’m calling it The Nutcracker’s Suite Giveaway. You could say it’s a “suite” giveaway, but I’d say it’s a sweet one! (Anyone have chocolate nutcrackers lying around?)

Want a Great Gift for You and a Friend? The Nutcracker’s Suite Giveaway!

What is Christmas without nutcrackers, crazy dreams, Chinatown, racing through the streets, and trying to avoid Tommy guns…. wait…

Sorry, not too much of a spoiler there I hope! (I mean, it’s on the cover, right?)

Last year, my Black Friday release was The Nutcracker’s Suite–one of the Ever After Mysteries. I had so much fun putting the different aspects of the story into the book. Some were much more overt than others, but it’s there… broken nutcrackers, the race “around the world,” the Mouse King, the battles…

One thing I wanted to do last year was to do this giveaway, but then I thought, “why not wait until the audiobook is done?”  Well… it’s done. And Christa DelSorbo OUTDID HERSELF.

Guys! This book!  You can check it out on Amazon but it’s available at ANY retailer that offers audiobooks! Even Spotify has it now!  EEEP! Listen through Hoopla, Google Play, Scribd, Apple Books, or wherever you like to get your audiobooks.

So… what will you win?  Glad you asked!

The winner will receive:

The Nutcracker's Suite Giveaway

  • 1 Paperback copy of The Nutcracker’s Suite
  • 1 Audiobook copy of The Nutcracker’s Suite
  • 1 Leatherette collectible copy of The Nutcracker (by Dumas)
  • 1 Wooden “Mouse King” bookmark

This prize package is all wrapped and ready to ship to one winner (USA addresses only… sorry!). Just enter the giveaway and you’ll have a copy of the book to share with a friend and POSSIBLY (no promises… I mean, the Post Office is a bit overwhelmed these days) even by Christmas!

And hey! Don’t forget to tell a friend to enter The Nutcracker’s Suite Giveaway. That way, if you don’t win… maybe he or she will–and share!

WARNING: Late-nite huckster alert!

But wait! There’s more!

The publisher, Celebrate Lit Publishing, wanted to get in on the act, so they’re putting the paperback on sale for $7.99 (20% off!! starting 12/13/22) AND… the eBook is FREE from 12/13/22 through 12/17/22! I’ll honor that paperback sale if you wish to purchase a signed copy from me, but I will have to add shipping, so it’ll make it a bit more. But hey! It’s Christmas, so I’m happy to do it! (While copies last!)

Episode 480: A Chat with Tracie Peterson
byChautona Havig

 A chat with Tracie Peterson is always a treat, and this was no exception. Listen in as we talk about A Moment to Love, the last in the Hope of Cheyenne series. 

note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.

I’ve been loving what Tracie is doing in this Cheyene series, but something about this book really hit home. I think the themes of revenge for heinous crimes and the indignity of our work being stolen are things we relate to whether it’s the 19th or the 21st century.

Also, don’t miss out on her Christmas novella collection with Karen Witemeyer and Misty M. Beller, On a Midnight Clear. 

A Moment to Love  by Tracie Peterson

A shared heart for justice pulls them together, but is their love strong enough to survive their trials? Dr. Carrie Vogel’s heart is shattered when her groundbreaking medical research is stolen and falsely credited to her ex-fiancé. With years of diligent work lost, she grapples with the disastrous turn of her career and leans on her faith for strength. When she learns that her Pinkerton friend Spencer Duval is on a justice-driven mission to her hometown of Cheyenne, she agrees to an arranged marriage to provide him with a cover story. But merely pretending to be in love with Spencer becomes increasingly difficult the more time she spends with him. Spencer is determined to apprehend the ruthless murderer who killed his father years ago, but his quest ignites unexpected emotions–both for Carrie and about the desire for revenge that has dominated his life. As the web of suspects tightens, their futures hang in the balance, and they must learn to trust God’s plan as unexpected love takes flight. Return to Cheyenne, Wyoming, with bestselling author Tracie Peterson for a journey of healing and forgiveness in this exquisite western frontier romance that will appeal to readers of faith-filled stories and When Calls the Heart.

Don’t forget that you can get this and her other books at 30-40% off with FREE US shipping from Bakerbookhouse.com

Learn more about Tracie Peterson on her WEBSITE. Follow her on BookBub and GoodReads.

But... in Twice Sold Tales, I fell in love with a cast of characters.  Harper the store owner, Noah the single-dad just learning how to be one, Bennie, the adorable ballet-loving little boy... and Mrs. Klair. Oh, how I loved Mrs. Klair.
I also love the town of Red Wing, Minnesota.  I infused as much of it as I could into the book--places to eat and explore, people I love dearly (family!), and the feel of a small town inside a modest city along Lake Pepin (of Laura Ingalls fame). I also learned that there is actually a lake monster there!  Pepi!  You wont want to miss him!
