Congrats to Winner of Drawing for A Novel Idea

Last week I shared a special drawing for readers of my blog. Those of you who spotted the item and left a comment were entered to win a free book.

I realize there are wonderful technological ways to do a drawing these days, however I wrote out each name on a scrap of paper, mixed them up, and then drew one at random. Low tech works, too. LOL!

Drumroll please….the winner is:

Ruth!

Congratulations, Ruth, and I’ll get you the copy of A Novel Idea soon.

Thanks to everyone who played, AND for your encouraging comments about books that you enjoyed.

Have a super and blessed week!

A New Contest

The launch of The Deliverer is off to a rollicking good start, so it’s time for another contest. Everyone who shares this post  will be entered into a drawing for a free autographed paperback copy of “Renovating Becky Miller” (a lighthearted novel about the perils of home renovation and over ambition). You can use the buttons below this blog post, then please comment here to tell me where you shared it.

Reviews for The Deliverer:

“Best book in the series.” – Kat, Amazon reviewer

“Sharon Hinck has crafted a compelling plot, an entrancing setting, and characters that are so realistic I felt like I was welcoming long lost friends.” – Virginia, Amazon reviewer

“There were moments in this story where I was certain God was speaking to me and my situation.” – Gina, Amazon reviewer

More About the The Deliverer:
–>

A lost songkeeper must lead her people to a long awaited Deliverer
Eager to serve the One, a young songkeeper travels to the dark and foreign nation of Hazor, but her confusing, rough-edged companion has lost his Restorer gifts. As danger rises against them both, she loses her freedom, her memories, and her hope. Now even the very music of her soul is threatened.

In our world, Susan Mitchell no longer feels at home in the carpool lane. Burdened by the unhealed scars from her trips through the portal, she fights to suppress her worry about her son, who remains out of contact in Lyric. But when a mysterious message hints Jake is in danger, she and her husband are swept away—to the place they least expect.

Clan rebellions. Lost Restorers. Has the One turned away, or will the face of the Deliverer bring light to the darkness? 

New to the series? Grab book one, The Restorer, for free on Kindle!

Sharon Hinck

Win the Entire Sword of Lyric Set!

The great folks at Suspense Zone are featuring all three books in the Sword of Lyric series: The Restorer, The Restorer’s Son, and The Restorer’s Journey, with in-depth reviews, an interview, and a great prize drawing.

While I normally think of the suspense genre as action thrillers in the espionage area, or crime dramas with a ticking clock, the Suspense Zone site features a great range of books by Christian authors that will raise your blood pressure and keep you turning pages. I’m delighted that they are highlighting these adventure/fantasy stories and hope that some new readers will discover the books. Be sure to stop by. The contest ends August 12!

Blessings!
