Happy Columbus Day~It’s a GOD’S DAUGHTER FREEBIE!!!

FinalKindlecoverGD

God’s Daughter FREE for Kindle 10/13-10/15/2014

My sense of humor might verge on ironic, as I wanted to celebrate a little early that we are coming up on a year of publication for God’s Daughter, and Columbus Day seemed a great time to do that. Yes, we know Vikings got here about 500 years before Columbus (but not before Native Americans!). We know Gudrid was among those Vikings who hit North American shores around AD 1000.

So, for three days, starting today, 10/13, through 10/15/2014, God’s Daughter will be free for Kindle (Click to Tweet!).

Also, here’s a recap of what happened with God’s Daughter this year, starting from its release 11-2-2013:

Holding my first softcover of God’s Daughter!

-Hit the Amazon Norse/Icelandic Historical Fiction BestSeller list. And it has stayed on that list for nearly an entire year (hoping for a year come Nov 5!).

–Has stayed on the Top Rated Norse/Icelandic Fiction list  for nearly a year.

-Received an Editor’s Choice Indie Review from Historical Novel Society and was nominated for the Historical Novel Society Long List for their 2014 Indie Award (did not win!).

-Chosen as Book-of-the-Month read for Christian Fiction Book Club (Feb 2014)

-Received a 5-Star Review by Kristi Lindsey for Readers’ Favorite (Dec 2013)

-Has received 103 reviews and has 4.4 stars on Amazon

I’d love it if you could share this freebie with anyone you think would enjoy Gudrid’s story. Here are a couple tweets if you wouldn’t mind sharing!

Thank you all for your support this year. I am so happy this was my first novel out…and so thrilled many of you enjoyed Gudrid’s story so much and have let me know it. This would NOT be a celebration if not for your help, and more importantly, for God’s blessing. As I reflect on the years I spent waiting to be published, then finally stepping out and deciding to self-publish this novel, I think of these verses that I cling to:

Psalm 90: 15-17
“Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us, the years in which we have seen evil. Let Your work appear to Your servants, and your glory to their children. And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.”

Rejoicing with you at what God has done with God’s Daughter this year and enjoy the freebie!

~Heather

    Powerful verse you’ve chosen, Heather!

    And I love that you chose Columbus Day to celebrate the earlier European arrivals in North America.

    Hoping God’s Daughter has a wonderful second year

      Thank you so much, Autumn. I know…I clung to that verse many times in those dark years! And thank you for the good wishes…hope you have a smashing year with your debut too, gal!

Happy #WestVirginiaDay! You might know that I love Happy #WestVirginiaDay! You might know that I love setting my contemporary mystery series in my home state of WV. What you might not know is that there was a time I wanted nothing more than to move away and spread my wings (somewhere like NYC! Where I wound up living for a year when I got married!). But years down the road, I felt my mountain roots pulling me back. Suddenly, I could see nothing but beauty in these comforting mountains and moody skies and honeysuckled summers. West Virginia is so many things—good and bad as any state is—but it’s entirely unique. My husband once marveled at how many people “came back” to their home state here, even after being gone for years, and I see that all the time. These #Appalachianmountains have a way about them, and it becomes a part of you, a love you don’t want to let go of. I’m a #mountainmama, and I’m glad to bring this truly #wildandwonderful state to readers with my books.
