Giveaway for We Love Fairy Tales Week

Are you ready?  Behold the prizes for the We Love Fairy Tales Week giveaway!


I have seven prizes for you this year.  Read on to learn more about each prize and then find out how to enter!


Prize One: A Noble Companion gift set!  I made these for a couple of in-person author events in December, and I didn't sell quite all of them, so I'm giving one away to one lucky winner this week!  The gift set includes a paperback copy of my Ugly Duckling retelling, A Noble Companion, plus multiple fun gifts to open as you read.  Each gift is labeled with what page it corresponds to, so you can open them as you read... or open them all at once, if you would rather.  Your choice!  

A Noble Companion is historical-esque, non-magical fantasy with talking animals and dragons living alongside humans in a fairy tale world based on 1800s Spanish California.  It's Christian YA with some mild western violence, no cussing, and a few lightly described kisses.


Prize Two:  a used DVD copy of Jack the Giant Slayer (2013), a fun fantasy adventure starring Nicholas Hoult, Ewan McGregor, and Eleanor Tomlinson.  It's rated PG-13 for "intense scenes of fantasy action violence, some frightening images and brief language."  It has some kissing, quite a bit of fantasy violence, and several cuss words (including the F word once).  I didn't show it to my kids until they were all at least 13.  It's a really fun movie, but definitely not intended for little kids.


Prize Three: four bookmarks (set one) depicting classic fairy tales

Prize Four:  four bookmarks (set two) with a princessy fairy tale theme


Prize Five: five stickers (set one) depicting castles and dragons coming out of books

Prize Six: five stickers (set two) depicting cottage-core fairy tale elements coming out of books

Prize Seven: five stickers (set three) depicting underwater fantasy scenes coming out of books


This giveaway is open worldwide!  It ends at 11:59pm EST on Friday, February 13.  I will have a random number generator pick seven winners that weekend, one for each prize, then alert the winners by email and announce them on my blog.  Winners have one week to reply to my email.  If they do not reply within one week, they forfeit their prize.

How to Enter

The giveaway widget I used to use is not longer operational, so this year, you will enter by leaving comments on this post.  I'll assign a number to each comment at the end of the week and use a random number generator to pick winning numbers.

You must leave a comment on this same post telling me what email address to contact you at if you win.  I have put all comments on "moderation," so those comments will NOT be shared here on my blog.  I will keep them private, and delete them after this giveaway has ended.  I will not use them for any purpose besides contacting winners of this giveaway.  Anyone who does not complete this step will not be eligible for a prize.  

You must leave a comment on this same post telling me what your top three prize choices are!  I do my best to match prizes with winners based on the order the random number generator chooses the winners in.  I cannot guarantee that winners will receive their top choice of prize.  Anyone who does not complete this step will not be eligible for a prize.  You may enter this way only one time.

You may leave a comment with a link to the blog post you contributed to the We Love Fairy Tales Week celebration.  You may enter this way more than once, and each will count as one entry for each blog post you contribute to the party.  Please leave each link in a separate comment.

You may leave a comment telling me you have visited my Instagram profile and scrolled through my page a bit, and tell me something you like about my photos.  You may enter this way only one time.

You may leave a comment telling me you have visited my Goodreads profile and marked at least one of my books as "to read."  You may enter this way only one time.

You may leave a comment telling me you have visited my author website, and tell me which page you found most interesting.  You may enter this way only one time.

You may leave a comment telling me you have signed up for my author newsletter.  New sign-ups and existing subscriptions both count!  You may enter this way only one time.

Each of those will earn you one entry into the giveaway!

If you are posting anonymous comments, please add a name or nickname to them so I know who you are -- and use the same name or nickname for each comment.  Any unsigned, unidentifiable comments will be disqualified.

No purchase necessary.  Void where prohibited.  Must be 18+ or have permission from parent/guardian to provide a mailing address if you win.  I will not share mailing or email addresses with any third party OR use them for any purpose except what is stated in this giveaway post. All prizes were purchased by me for the purpose of this giveaway and will be shipped via USPS.  Once I mail them off, they are out of my hands and I am not responsible for whether or not they reach the winners.


Be sure to visit my kick-off post to find all the cool contributions for We Love Fairy Tales Week, and to leave links for your own!

  1. Exciting!!! I just wanted to double-check that UK addresses are all right, because of the complication last time - I don't want to make life difficult for you! I'm really looking forward to doing the tag and maybe doing my own post as well :D

    1. Cecilia, I have saved up some money to send off the prizes this time around , now that I know overseas packages jumped so high :-) It just caught me by surprise last time I held a giveaway and tried sending things to Europe!

Agree or disagree? That is the question...

Comments on old posts are always welcome! Posts older than 7 days are on moderation to dissuade spambots, so if your comment doesn't show up right away, don't worry -- it will once I approve it.
