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 564: A Chat with Sheri A. Bradley
byChautona Havig

If you love fantasy and allegory as much as I do, The Chosen One might just be the book for you. Listen in as I chat with Sheri Bradley about her novel and all that went into it.

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

I had a lovely time chatting about the world Sheri has created. I haven’t read the book yet but that will be rectified posthaste.

The Chosen One by Sheri Bradley

Before Bara was born, a royal decree sealed her destiny: she would one day marry the prince and reign as queen. But as years pass without a word from the palace, doubt creeps in. When betrayal strikes and Bara is torn from her home in a violent abduction, her world spirals into chaos.

Amid shadowed forests, whispered secrets, and a priceless sapphire that holds the promise of a future, Bara faces the ultimate question-does she truly have a choice, or has her path been written all along?

The Chosen One is a sweeping allegory of love, sacrifice, and redemption, inviting readers to wrestle with the tension between free will and destiny. Will Bara embrace the role she was created for, or forge her own way in defiance of the king’s plan?

Learn more on Sheri’s WEBSITE and follow on GoodReads.

Bible Study can be life changing. Just ask Bentley Bible Study can be life changing. Just ask Bentley. Okay, so maybe her conclusions about how we glorify God might be a bit extreme, but no one can argue that it worked out well for her. Proposing to a guy she's not in love with (yet!)? Not easy, but no one said living to the glory of God would be easy, right?
Book one in the Marriages of Conviction series, Blessing Bentley explores one woman's approach to a happy marriage--start with God!
