So what is a blog hop?
It's a chance to view historical authors' blogs with easy one-click links, to enter to win an Amazon or Barnes & Noble gift card, and to win more historical novels
than you can shake your quill pen at!

"What better way to celebrate the holidays than by giving away Historical Fiction goodness?!
The Historical Holiday Blog Hop will run from December 10 - 17 and in addition several grand prizes, there are over 30 blogs that will be running their own amazing giveaways, so be sure to see the linky list at the bottom of this post to see who is participating!
I would like to thank the authors (and one publisher) who so graciously and generously contributed a book (or four) to the grand prizes. I can't tell you how appreciative I am for the fantastic response to the blog hop - you are all so amazing!"
my contribution to the blog hop was to run a competition and I was thrilled with the number of entries - thank you everyone!
and the winner - picked at random by my husband was:
Susan - congratulations!

ReplyDeleteFrom Tina Marie:
Holy Moses...first of all, I have to say that your interpretation of the Arthurian legend is PHENOMENAL. I love the Pendragon's Banner series. Since I haven't read the third book in the series (my library does not carry it for some reason), I would love to win that one. May you continue to be blessed with the gift of storytelling! My email is
rockqueenorlando at aol.com. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteFrom Leah Weller :
Thank you so much for the chance in the giveaway! The Chosen King would be my choice. The Battle of Hastings is where my love for history starts. The years leading up to the conquest through the Plantagenets. My soul aches for that period.
