October 2021 giveaway

October 2021 giveaway

How to enter

1. Answer the question – this ensures real people are entering! The question needs to be answered in the multiple choice drop-down section within the giveaway app NOT in the comments below the post. 🙂

2. Then you’ll be prompted for FIRST name and email 

3. Search for email and confirm entry (check your ‘spam’/’junk’ folders). *** Entrants keep forgetting this step and so don’t see the email telling them they’re a winner.

4. THEN you’ll be able to click back to the giveaway and see 24 ways to gain additional entries and your LUCKY URL to share and gain even more entries. When you click on the ‘follow X on BB’ – you actually have to go to the link and then click ‘follow’ i.e. the giveaway app doesn’t do the task for you!

I am now running this giveaway twice each year (Easter and October).

The way I have chosen to run these giveaways is quite different from most giveaways. Firstly, you can choose what you sign up for and are not automatically subscribed to each authors’ newsletter. Secondly, prize winners do not ‘scoop the pool.’ Instead, there are sixteen prizewinners who mostly receive a book of their choice. That is, the first winner gets the first choice (of two books) … until all the books are distributed. We hope that way to spread the joy and allow winners to have a book that they are keen to read and not one they already have.

  1. It is great to see people entering the giveaway but already about one-third have not found the verification email and ‘confirmed’. Please confirm. It is so sad when prize winners never see they’ve won and we have to choose another winner.
    Also, once you’re confirmed you’ll have the ‘Lucky URL’ to share on social media and email and gain more points for anyone who enters through your link.

  2. Hello! I entered the contest, thank you for giving me the chance to win, however, I haven’t received a confirmation email.

    1. Thanks for persevering. Yes, I am not seeing many new follows on BookBub. You actually have to follow the link and then DO the task, to legitimately gain the points.

    1. The prizes in this giveaway are deliberately ebooks. The reason for this is that it allows this giveaway to be available for people around the world. I am passionate about Christian fiction being accessible to people everywhere.

    1. No – there will be an email somewhere (look in junk/spam) and you have to click on the verify link in that. There will also be the special URL that you can share with friends.

  3. Entered! Think of you grandmother and particularly you Mom in October. One of my Cherished Friends!

  4. Hi Christine,

    I am reading the second book in your Grace series and am very impressed with your storytelling way of sharing the gospel. Plus, the novels are great as well. I hope to learn more.

    1. I am delighted that you’re enjoying the novel. Please write a 1-2 line review of why you like them and copy and paste to various sites – Kobo, A, Goodreads … reviews are always appreciated. And of course, tell your friends. Word of mouth recommendation is still the best way of sharing.

  5. Answered the drop-down question, followed several authors on BookBub, have not received an email to confirm anything- checked Spam folder and have refreshed several times.

  6. I entered but got no confirmation email; I checked my spam folder and it wasn’t there either. It has been over an hour.

  7. I entered but have received no confirmation email. It isn’t in my spam folder either. I’ve looked several times.

    1. I will resend but it is possible all of your email companies – are filtering out the emails. I will make sure to email you outside the program if you’re a winner. Thanks for joining.

  8. What an amazing and well thought out give-away! Thank you for opening the contest to international readers!

    I entered but have not received a confirmation email. When I tried to re-enter I couldn’t. I’m thinking perhaps I made a typo on my email address when I entered it.?

    1. I just resent the confirmation letters for all ‘unconfirmed’ entrants – there are a lot of you. Please check your junk/spam/promotions folders on your email site. That is most likely where any confirmations will end up.

      1. So sorry. No confirmation email in any of my folders. Hate to make work for you. I can imagine it takes a long time to get this all together, but this is an amazing group of authors, I’d hate to miss out!

  9. Thank you for the opportunity to have a chance to win. There are some new to me authors that I am looking forward to reading their books.

    1. I will resend but in the end I can’t do anything. I will make sure that the winners are alerted through normal email as well.

  10. I entered the contemporary one yesterday and this one today and no email either and I always check my spam folder.

  11. Entered❤❤❤
    Thank you for such amazing opportunity.
    I live finding new authors and book recommendations.

  12. Hello. I’m new, and would like to enter but I do not know the app you are referring to, to enter. I think I entered but under the post 🙁 Could someone please help me with this information? Thank you.

    1. In the post there is a question – how many authors in this giveaway? Answer that and you’ll be asked your name and email … then follow directions.

      1. I just confirmed you’re ‘in’. Now go and look for the confirmation email and open it and click where directed (this will ensure you see if you are picked as a winner). Then there are 24 tasks you can do to increase the number of entries you have (and thus the opportunities to win). Most are related to subscribing to an author’s newsletter. With most of those you ‘win’ anyway because many authors give away a book or a novella … to subscribers.

  13. I am beginning to draw the winners please look for an email from me. As usual, the problem is that many of you didn’t work out how to confirm your entries, which will mean you won’t see the winner notice from the giveaway app. But hopefully, you’ll have no problems with my email asking you to choose your prize. Once I hear from the first four, I move on to the next four … if I don’t hear, then I’ll redraw the winners. Congratulations to our winners.

  14. I saw one of the winners was a Linda but no last name how to I know if that was me or not? I always put my first and last name whenever I enter and I enter slot of giveaways. I check all my emails, please let me know if this Linda is me.

    1. Yes, there were many people with the same name. If you put both it would have come up. You were not one of the winners and I’ve sent emails (from various email addresses) to the winners.
