Today is the first anniversary of the publication of Harrow. In other words, the second book in the Galleries of Stone trilogy is celebrating its “book birthday.” To mark the milestone, I’m giving readers the opportunity to win fabulous prizes—in the form of some very pretty, limited edition postcards. The prize drawing will take place on Monday, April 20, giving you plenty of time to take part. How? I’m glad you asked! There are several ways to drop your name in the proverbial hat:
Support CJ
- Favorite and/or Follow my Author Page on Amazon.
- Add CJ’s books to your virtual shelf on GoodReads.
- Like the Galleries of Stone page on Facebook.
- Subscribe to the Galleries of Stone Newsletter.
- Follow @Elymnifoqent on Twitter. That’s me!
- Are you a pinner? Follow CJ’s boards for Galleries of Stone, including brand new boards of Galleries of Stone races—Flox, Pred, and Grif.
- Who is your favorite Galleries of Stone character? Tell me!
For each of those seven things, you’ll gain a chance at winning a prize. THIS IS IMPORTANT! Tell me which of the above items you’ve done in a comment below. That’ll help me keep track of everyone’s enthusiasm. The drawing will take place on Monday, April 20. Ten winners will receive a limited edition postcard featuring Hannah Christenson’s amazing cover art from the books in the Galleries of Stone trilogy.
Haggle Up
Want to improve your chances? Reviews are the best kind of support you can give an author, so I’ll offer some incentive. If you’ll take the time to review Meadowsweet, Harrow, and/or Rakefang on Amazon [and other venues], I’ll send along the matching illustrated postcard. Please give your honest opinion, with potential new readers in mind. There are so many books available; why is this series worth their time? Bonus! Because this is Book 2’s big day, if you post a review of Harrow, I’ll add the postcard featuring the cover art of Deuce.
Drawing: Monday, April 20, 2015

Favorite character? SO hard to pick just one! Hmm … I’ll have to go with Aurelius, though it is awfully hard to choose out of him, Ulrica, and Graven :-).
I’m working on getting some reviews posted in various places, I’ll comment and tell you when I’m done! ~Savannah

Aurelius is my favorite character, and Aurelius and Ulrica are an OTP so Deuce is like catnip in written form. Tupper is pretty cool too, since without him there wouldn’t be a story. :)

They’re scary-good together … or they will be (in Deuce). And we really couldn’t get along without our Tupp.
For those keeping tally, Aurelius is in the lead! : )

I like Freydolf best. The unselfconscious love between him and Tupper often brings tears to my eyes. I like it that they need each other’s care.

I think it’ll be fun … though I have to admit, I have no idea what some of the characters will say. If they say much at all. (Tupper isn’t exactly verbose.) Or if they’ll ever stop. (Aurelius is sure to wax polysyllabic.)

My favorites are Tupper and Chelle. I want to grow up to be like them. Whether in hardship or plenty they serve with all their hearts. Life isn’t easy for them but it is good. I tell myself often to do my best and be brave. I think that sums up the whole idea of who they are.
Followed on Amazon, all your books are on my Good Reads shelf, liked on Facebook, I’ve been subscribed to the newsletter, followed on Pintrest, and posted reviews on the entire Galleries of Stone series on Amazon and Good Reads.

Aurelius is absolutely my favorite, but I’m fairly attached to the whole main cast. They all have their endearing quirks, so it’s pretty much impossible to really dislike anyone!

I’ve followed your author page on amazon and I’ve posted a review of Harrow. Choosing a favorite character is hard. When I first thought about it, Aurelius immediately popped into my mind, but then I remembered Ulrica and Tupper and Freydolf and Aggie and Torio and Brand and Haimish and Dulcie… and the list goes on. But finally I narrowed it down to my first choice–Aurelius is impressive and my definitely favorite, even though every new vote in his favor is going to deepen the well of his ego… ;)
