😱 WHAT???!!!!

Win a character named for you in

A Whim  and a Prayer — which releases

September 8 — PLUS a signed paperback copy AND

a $25 Amazon gift card??

 

YES you can! Why? Because I am SO happy to have finished my edits that I decided to celebrate with a giveaway!

Some of you may remember contests I’ve run in the past to have a character named after you or a loved one in a future book of mine. Well, I’m happy to say that there are still a few winners from a past contest that actually appear in A Whim and a Prayer, so I hope it gives them
a thrill when they see it.

BUT … when I realized I had a fairly major character left that I could rename, I thought I’d give YOU a chance to do it for me with your name or any other female friend or relative you want to surprise.

And the best part? Not only will you get the pre-order discount that goes up in price on release day, September 8, but you’ll also get a signed paperback copy of A WHIM AND A PRAYER with your name immortalized in it PLUS a $25 Amazon gift card! (NOTE: U.S. entrants only for the paperback, but international entrants eligible for gift card and name in book.)

How? By simply pre-ordering A WHIM AND A PRAYER at the pre-order reduced rate — which many of you already have — then letting me know via the CONTACT JULIE tab on my website (on the honor system), and I will toss your name in the hat for a random drawing. Winners will be announced on my Journal Jot blog on September 1st.

Here’s how I picture the hero, Beckett Campbell, and here’s the jacket blurb:

She’s a former orphan
desperate to protect her heart.

He’s a best friend
who protects her from the start.

Till prayer protects them both
from a true love torn apart.

So, good luck, and happy reading!

 

 

The Christian Fiction Reading Challenge!

You are cordially invited to join me and eleven other bestselling and award-winning authors for a year of great reading and great discussions via Zoom.

Each month, we dive into a novel by many of your favorite Christian authors, and there will be plenty of variety! Romance. Heart-pounding suspense. A visit to 1970’s London. Even a princess in search of true love.

This month’s chat is with award-winning author CARA PUTMAN regarding her fabulous novel, THE TARGETED, so if you’ve read it, be sure to sign up for the Zoom HERE, then come by for Cara’s Zoom chat TUESDAY, AUGUST 25 at 6PM CDT … or, if you haven’t read it, check it at the title link above and come on by because not only is Cara a lawyer and a law professor, but an award-winning author of Christian suspense. 

NOTE: My month is September for a Zoom chat on A Wing and a Prayer, so I hope you’ll consider joining us for that one in particular (see sale info below and info on winning a $50 gift card!).

Some books have strong Christian content. Some are clean reads but written from a Christian worldview. No matter which of those describes the book of the month, we hope you’ll love it.

Again, to join, just go to the website at Christian Fiction Reading Challenge HERE. Read the information about when and where and how it all works, then drop your name and email address into the signup box. You’ll receive the important information each month via email (the book everyone is reading, the day and time of the Zoom chat). And if you can’t make the Zoom, don’t worry. The video will be uploaded so you can watch later.

We can’t wait to see you!
