Hi Friends,
Did you know people originally called World War One The Great War? They expected it to only last a few months and be the war to end all wars. November 11, 2018 is the one hundredth anniversary of the end of World War One, and all over Europe and North America people are remembering and honoring those who bravely took part in The Great War.
My novel, A Refuge at Highland Hall, is set during World War One and features a brave British pilot as the hero. The heroine is caring for orphans at her family’s estate, Highland Hall. I was fascinated to learn how the war impacted soldiers and airmen on the front, as well as families at home in England. There are many lessons we can learn about courage, faith, and standing up for what is right from people and events in history. That’s one reason I enjoy writing historical novels, and I think that’s also why readers like them.
I have several author friends who have written novels set during that era, and we’ve banded together for a special giveaway in honor of this anniversary. These are outstanding stories that will bring the era to life and give you a sense of what it was like to live through this important time in history.
The Great War Multi-Author Giveaway runs from November 8 – 12. To enter the giveaway just fill out the form below. One winner will be chosen on November 13th. They will be contacted by email and have 48 hours to respond. A US winner will receive a paperback copy of each of the six books. An international winner will receive eBook copies of the six books.
You can learn more about these authors and their books by clicking on their names: Roseanna M. White, J’nell Ciesielski, Kate Breslin, Pepper Basham, Michele Ule, and Carrie Turansky.
Happy Reading to All!

THE GOVERNESS OF HIGHLAND HALL (2013)
THE DAUGHTER OF HIGHLAND HALL (2014)
A REFUGE AT HIGHLAND HALL (2015)
SHINE LIKE THE DAWN (2017)
I would very much love to read and review these other books by these authors. They sound fabulous. Let’s pray that no one ever forgets the sacrifices that our men and women made by laying down their lives for our great country. God bless them all.
I forgot to add that I also read and reviewed Roseanna White’s novel, THE LOST HEIRESS in 2015. A terrific read!

These books all sound like great reads!

I generally gravitate toward WWII novels, but would enjoy going back a little further!
I’m so excited to be introduced to these amazing authors. I’ve not read any of them yet but would love to read. I love this time period of history as well as WWII. There are so many stories to be told. My dad was a Medic in WWII in the European theatre.
Nothing like a great book! I have read several of these authors and can’t wait to read more. Thank you for this opportunity.
I love historical Christian fiction! I learn so much! And 6 books from 6 different authors!!! It can’t get any better than this.

I have read Carrie’s Highland Hall series (loved it), and while I haven’t read any of the other books in this giveaway, I have read the series by Roseanna White about the Fire Eyes Diamonds (read it twice) .

I’ve not read much in the way of WWI books. It would be interesting to do so.
My grandfather nearly died in France during this war. However, he was in the German Infantry. The injuries that he endured stayed with him through his life. I am very sobered by the sufferings of all that lived through this experience.
I have read books by 3 of the authors – Carrie, Kate, and Roseanna. I really enjoy historical fiction.
I love this genre, and have read Carrie’s and Kate’s books–now looking forward to read the others! Thanks for the giveaway!!
I have only read A Refuge in Highland Hall, and I LOVED it! I would love to read all of the others, they sound awesome!
Christian Fiction during any war time is one of my favorite genres!!! I always devour those stories! Such hard times full of heroes and heroines unknown!!
I’ve read some of Roseanna’s books and 1 or 2 of Michelle’s.
Among the Poppies is beautiful!!!
Carrie,
Yes, I have read many of the books listed here and have several on my ever growing TBR list.
Thank you for this wonderful contest.
Blessings, Tina
The time of the World Wars is very interesting to me, along with history in general. Sometimes reading about historical times in a fictional novel can make it more real to me because I can connect to the characters better (verses a history text). I’m looking forward to reading some new authors! Happy Veteran’s Day!
I have not read all of these authors. Looks like a nice collection. Always enjoy learning about new authors. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I’ve read some of Roseanna’s novels!
I have yet to read any of these author’s works. However, I’m glad you introduced them to me. They look very interesting. I want to read them all!
Love your work!

I have read several of Carrie’s books and a couple of Kate’s books. I am so excited about all of these novels regarding The Great War. I have loved reading and studying about it for years.
I have read Carrie’s books,but it has been a while ago. I enjoyed reading her books.
I love historical Christian fiction and WWI and WWII are some of my favorite time periods. What a challenging and difficult period in our history but love to read how faith in God and love made it possible to survive these dark times.
I have read some of these authors and I love this time frame.
I have been a voracious reader since first grade, was a history major in college and am a retired professional librarian who has worked in a university library, school libraries, a public librarian and librarian at my church. I like sharing books. Thank you for this opportunity.
