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 : A Chat with Suzanne Woods Fisher
byChautona Havig

Chatting with Suzanne Woods Fisher is always a joy, but something about her National Parks Summers is even more fun to discuss. Listen in and maybe you can tell me why!

I love what Suzanne is doing with this series, and Acadia? Yes, please!

Chase the Lightby Suzanne Woods Fisher

She uncovered a piece of history–but can she make peace with her own? When Acadia National Park ranger Scout Johnson discovers a weathered note near a remote lighthouse, she never imagines it will expose a century-old mystery. The cryptic message points to a forgotten shipwreck, a vanished treasure, and a lighthouse keeper’s suspicious death. Seeking answers, Scout enlists Naki Dana, a thoughtful man whose Penobscot heritage provides crucial insights. As they venture deeper into Acadia’s rugged wilderness, their unlikely partnership begins stirring feelings Scout didn’t expect to find. But they aren’t the only ones searching. Chase Fletcher, a charming local journalist, sees this treasure hunt as his last opportunity to save his failing paper–and finds himself increasingly drawn to the ranger leading the search. With pressure mounting and loyalties tested, Scout must navigate a winding path between history and justice, truth and betrayal . . . and determine who–and what–deserves her trust. Suzanne Woods Fisher weaves a contemporary romance filled with mystery, treasure hunting, and adventure as a park ranger uncovers a century-old shipwreck and dangerous secrets at Acadia National Park. Perfect for fans of mysteries and love triangles.

You can learn more about Suzanne from her WEBSITE. Also, follow her on BookBub and GoodReads.

Get Chase the Light for 40% off with free US shipping until May 5 (30% off after that) from BakerBookHouse.com.

Scott Keil's mission work tends to overtake both his and his daughter's life.  So when his daughter ropes Natalie Dersham to help out, he's thrilled.  When she starts playing matchmaker... well... okay, he's kind of thrilled about that, too.  The age gap?  Probably prohibitive but if it wasn't...
