I'm Giving Away 100 ebooks!

With the release of my 4th book in the Turrim Archive: The Prisoner and the Pirate, right around the corner and coming soon (APRIL 30th! Can you believe it?!) I decided to celebrate a little bit.

So I’m running a Goodreads Giveaway for book 1 of the series, The Orb and the Airship!

Entering is super easy, all you need is a Goodreads Account and to click on the graphic below!

Already own and read the first three books? Eagerly awaiting book 4?

I could use your help!

Mantles of Oak and Iron AND Hearts of Stone and Steel are both eligible for the Reader’s Choice Book Award over at Realm Makers.

But… there’s a bit of a catch. You have to be a subscribing member of the Realm Sphere in order to nominate books this year. (But there IS a “free trial” option!)

If you read either Mantles or Hearts and just loved them and think they deserve an award… would you consider heading over to the Realm Sphere and signing up and nominating them?

If you’re interested in helping out, head on over to THIS LINK to get set up in the Realm Sphere (but be warned: you may enjoy the conversations and camaraderie so much you never want to leave)

And last, but certainly not least, the newest episode of AN EVENING IN THE STORMCAVE is now up. This week, we had special guest DJ Edwardson over and Grant and I had an absolute blast chatting with him about C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, What Makes a Good Story, and What 3 Books We Would Want to Have if We Were Stranded on a Deserted Island!

Come join the fun! Grab the whole family, curl up with a snack, or go for a drive, and join us in out of the storm for some great discussions about all things story!

Thanks to DJ for putting together our “deserted island” book lists! I kept planning to get to it, but life has been non-stop lately!

Here are the titles that we each would choose to have with us if we were stranded on a deserted island and could only have 3 books plus the Bible.

I have included affiliate links to each:


GRANT
Banner in the Sky by James Ramsey Ullman
The Worst Journey in the World by Apsley Cherry-Garrard
The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien

DJ

The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis
The Collected Short Stories of George MacDonald - I couldn’t find a paperback copy, but this 99-cent kindle version has a TON of his stories, including the 2 that DJ talked about

Jenelle (with 4, because following directions and picking favorites is not my forte)

Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede
Thud by Terry Pratchett
The Paradise War by Stephen Lawhead
