Giveaway: This Man Confessed by Jodi Ellen Malpas

Posted by Teddyrose@1 on July 24, 2013
Posted in My Past Giveaways  | 6 Comments

Thanks to Jessica Bromberg of Forever/Grand Central Publishing, I am giving away one copy of This Man Confessed.

 Book Description:

 The Manor, the very place where their passionate love affair began, fills with guests on what should be the happiest day of Ava and Jesse’s lives. She has accepted that she’ll never tame the fierceness in Jesse-and she doesn’t want to. 

 Their love is profound, their connection powerful, but just when she thinks that she’s finally gotten beneath his guarded exterior, more questions arise, leading Ava to believe that Jesse Ward may not be the man she thinks he is. He knows too well how to take her to a place beyond ecstasy . . . but will he also drive her to the brink of despair? It’s time for this man to confess.

 About Jodi Ellen Malpas:

Jodi Ellen Malpas was born and raised in the Midlands town of Northampton, UK, where she lives with her family.  Working for the family construction business fulltime and with the prospect of taking it over once her father retired, she tried to ignore the lingering idea of writing a novel until it became impossible.

 She finally found the time and courage to release her creative streak and in October 2012 self-published This Man as an e-book.  She took a chance on a story with some intense characters, notably Mr. Jesse Ward, the Lord of the Manor, and sparked incredible reactions from women all over the world.  Two months later,  Jodi made the decision to give up her day job to concentrate on her new and very unexpected career in writing.

Giveaway: THE AGE OF ICE by J.M. Sidorova

Posted in My Past Giveaways  | 10 Comments

Thanks to Mel Grover-Schwartz of Scribner Publicity, I am giving away one print copy of The Age of Ice.


Book Description:


An epic, debut novel spanning more than two centuries, THE AGE OF ICE follows the quest of a lovelorn, 18th century Russian noble cursed with longevity while he navigates the chilling world of a changing Russian aristocracy.


Steeped in Russian history, THE AGE OF ICE has already been praised by authors as “mesmerizing,” and “everything you could want in a novel” (NYT-Bestselling Author Tea Obreht;Author Karen Joy Fowler), and owes clear debt to the Russian masters in its luminous prose and sweeping exploration of romance, warfare, science, and history.


About J.M. Sidorova:

J.M. Sidorova was born in Moscow when it was the capital of the USSR, to the family of an official of the Ministry of Foreign Trade. She attended Moscow State University and the graduate school of the Russian Academy of Sciences. She moved to Seattle, Washington, in 1990 and works as a research professor at the University of Washington, where she studies cellular biology of aging and carcinogenesis.
