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!)

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode:505 A Chat with Becca Wierwille
byChautona Havig

For those who loved Becca Wierwille’s Road Trip series, she’s back with chapter books for young readers–mysteries, no less! Listen in to see why I’m eager to read the Scout and Barnaby series myself.

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

Don’t forget that book one, Book 1 The Case of the Four-Legged Friend just came out. You can get it on Kindle, paperback, or audiobook!!!

The next book releases February 4th and the third on March 4th!

Scout & Barnaby Mysteries by Becca Wierwille

The Scout & Barnaby Mysteries are funny, heartwarming Christian chapter books for kids ages 6-10 by award-winning children’s author Becca Wierwille. These lightly illustrated mysteries star a girl and her unusually perceptive dog who team up to solve mysteries at a Christian wilderness camp using her love of big words and his super sniffer.

Written as a bridge between chapter books and longer middle-grade works, these books combine fun whodunit mystery elements with faith and humor. Books feature larger font for emerging readers and stay short at approximately 15,000 words.

Learn more about Becca on her WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads and BookBub.

I told his story in New Year's Revolutions, but that cover and title never worked for the story, so he got a makeover. We all need a refresh now and then, right?
Redeeming Neal Jerk-Patrick is more than a comedic look at one man's entire life overhauling because he fell for a gal who loves Jesus before all else. But that's a pretty fun part of it.
If you've read Christmas Stalkings and ever wondered how Neal got those kittens... it's all in here!
