UPDATE: THE GIVEAWAY WINNERS HAVE BEEN DRAWN AND NOTIFIED! Because there were so many entries, I decided to add in 4 extra prizes. As well as the two signed copies of THE MADEMOISELLE ALLIANCE, four other subscribers will be receiving signed copies of one of my other books. Thanks to everyone who entered!
Hello lovely newsletter subscribers! I have something very exciting to share with you. The proofs, or advance reading copies, of THE MADEMOISELLE ALLIANCE have arrived! And they look so good!
These are the North American proofs; the Australian proofs are being printed right now. (You can see the different covers for the different editions in this post) And my publisher has sent me a few more copies than I need, so I thought I’d give a couple away!
I have one proof to give away to my paid subscribers—there’s a much smaller pool of paid subscribers, so your chances of winning are much higher! And I have one copy to give away to everyone else.
To enter, just leave me a comment in the comments section below. You can hit this button to do so:
Here’s the boring stuff:
The available prizes are 2 proof copies of THE MADEMOISELLE ALLIANCE. A proof copy has typos and other errors as it has not yet been proofread.
Leave your comments by 29th November, 9pm AWST. I’ll select the 2 winners and notify them via email.
You must subscribe to this newsletter to be eligible to enter.
One proof copy will be given to one selected paid subscriber who leaves a comment, and one proof copy will be given to one selected free subscriber who leaves a comment.
The competition is in no way endorsed by Substack
Good luck! I can’t wait to send two copies out just in time for Christmas!
A Quick Update
I know I only just gave you all an update last week, so I’ll make this one quick. I’ve now officially read THE MADEMOISELLE ALLIANCE eleventy billion times. The proofread is very nerve-racking because no matter how many times you read it and no matter how many people read it, mistakes always inevitably slip through. But I keep reminding myself that those things are tiny in comparison to the bigger story I’m telling, so I hope you’ll all forgive me if any mistakes do sneak in unnoticed.
There was a glitch in the Book Club form for the first 24 hours last week, so let me put the link up again—it works now, I promise! To recap, I’m taking a limited number of bookings from book clubs that would like me to visit them in person (if you live in Perth) or virtually via Zoom if you live elsewhere to discuss The Mademoiselle Alliance.
Hit the button below to give me a few details and hopefully I can fit your book club in! There are only a few spots left.
And in exciting news for me because I’m such a nerd, I get to have a map in my book! I don’t know why this is exciting, but it is. Hopefully it will help readers see just how much Marie-Madeleine and her agents had to criss-cross France to stay ahead of the Nazis and will give you a better feel for the locations if you haven’t, like me, followed in Marie-Madeleine’s footsteps from Paris down to the south of France.
Okay, that’s all from me for today. Don’t forget to leave a comment so you can be in the running to win one of those two proof copies of THE MADEMOISELLE ALLIANCE!
I would absolutely adore a proof copy of the Mademoiselle Alliance, thank you so much for the chance. All of your books have taught me so many new things and introduced me to the most amazing women, so I thank you for that too.
I would love to win a copy. Love your storytelling and writing. Plus the focus of amazing women in history. Also feels exciting to see an advance copy x
