Wow, time flies! I was more than a little surprised to look at my dashboard not long ago and realize I was fast closing in on 500 posts. And naturally, a mile-marker like that calls for a celebration!
So in honor of my 500th post, I’m offering, for 24 hours only, a FREE download of Jewel of Persia!
To claim your free download, all you have to do is go to eBookIt and use coupon code “500thPost” (no quotes in code–and it’s case sensitive, so be sure you capitalize the P). You can then select your preferred digital format and enjoy!
[Update–the free download has expired, but I’m excited to report that 47 of you took advantage of the offer! I hope you all enjoy the book! The giveaway of the paperbacks is still going, so I’m going to leave this post up for an extra day for coverage. =) ]
Not a digital reader? Well, leave a comment below, and I’ll draw one lucky winner of a paperback of either Jewel of Persia when I get my copies in about a month or A Stray Drop of Blood now.
The free download is, again, for one day only, so the code will be inactive at 7 a.m. EST on Wednesday, 6 April 2011.
The drawing for one of the paperbacks, however, will last for a week, so you have until 13 April to enter for that one. To enter, just leave a comment below with an email address where I can reach you if you win. =)
About Jewel of Persia
Combining the biblical account of Esther with Herodotus’s Histories, Jewel of Persia is the story of a love that nearly destroys an empire . . . and the friendship that saves a nation.
About A Stray Drop of Blood
Born free, made a slave, married out of her bonds, Abigail never knows freedom until she feels the fire of A Stray Drop of Blood from a Jewish carpenter. Disowned by Israel, despised by Rome, desired by all, she never knows love until she receives the smile of a stoic Roman noble.

Roseanna M. White is a bestselling, Christy Award winning author who has long claimed that words are the air she breathes. When not writing fiction, she’s homeschooling her two kids, editing, designing book covers, and pretending her house will clean itself. Roseanna is the author of a slew of historical novels that span several continents and thousands of years. Spies and war and mayhem always seem to find their way into her books…to offset her real life, which is blessedly ordinary.

MomRedding, I can hear my publisher in my ear saying "The digital is priced to sell, you know!" LOL. Sorry you missed the free download, but if you don't win the hardcopy, it *is* only $3.99 for your eReader. 😉 (There, duty done to the business side of things.)
I missed the eReader offer (bummer because I don't go anywhere without my reader!) but I would love to have a 'hard copy' of this book!
Thank you for the offer!
Hi, can I still enter to win? I e-mailed you about how to enter, but hadn't commented yet.

Roseanna!!! Seeing as I already own a copy of Stray Drop of Blood, I would love to be in the drawing for a copy of Jewel of Persia. Yay for amazing literary friends!!!
Perfect!! I read the blurb on your site, sounds really good!
Silly me should have put a blurb up, LOL. Yes, Nicole, it's historical. Biblical. Time of Esther. Ancient Persia. Yep. =)
How awesome, a free e-book makes for a perfect day!! 🙂 Can't wait to read it, anything in a historical setting is right up my alley!! (Which I'm assuming this is?? I'll feel dumb if I go read that it's not!! lol)
I'd love either…paperback is great, too!
WooHOO! I am so glad you are giving a regular copy too!!

Amazing books! Two of my very favorites EVER!
Me, I still like hard copies–preferably signed by the world-famous author. Color me old-fashioned. Or–color me old. Works either way…

Congrats on your 500th post! Wow! Would love a copy of either book. I love my Kindle, but my shelf book collection is near and dear to my heart!
rebeccalyn@gorge.net
Would love a had copy as well, since I don't have an ereader and can't imagine reading a full book on the computer screen.

Oh, duh… joyfulhutch(at)msn (dot) com
I would love either but a paperback version is more likely to get read right away. I bought the other ebook and I still haven't read it yet.
Wow, you certainly are correct! What a reason to celebrate! I have thoroughly enjoyed following your musings Cousin! 🙂 Can't wait for Jewel and Annapolis! Love ya.
