You Can Win a Copy of Teresa Funke’s “Wave Me Good-Bye”

April 29, 2015 By: Patricia

Here’s something new and very interesting. Authors can do book giveaways now on Amazon.com

Author, presenter, and coach Teresa Funke, who specializes in stories from World War II, has tied her giveaway to Twitter in an effort to grow her following as well as increase awareness of her stories.

Click right here to get to the giveaway information.

The book is called Wave Me Good-Bye. Here’s the synopsis from Amazon.com:

As the only Jewish girl in her New York neighborhood, thirteen-year-old Miriam Liebler has a lot on her mind.

World War II is raging, and her brother will soon pack his bags to join the fight. Blackouts and air-raid drills punctuate her daily life. Worse yet, her family has heard nothing from their Jewish relatives in Europe since before the war started, and Miriam fears the worst. Her friends don’t understand her worries—until she meets Christopher Richards, an orphaned English boy whisked to America to escape the deadly bombings of London. Miriam and Chris exchange candy, comic books, and secrets through the iron bars of the orphanage fence.

When Miriam’s mother takes in a German-Jewish refugee and her daughter, Miriam becomes entangled in the woman’s desperate search to find her family. Will her friendship with Chris survive when trouble brews?

I highly recommend all of Teresa’s books, so if this story sounds like one your child or grandchild might like (or you for that matter–I read all of Teresa’s books for children), and if you’re on Twitter or willing to join, try for the giveaway.

    What a great idea. Can any author, with any publisher do this?

Meet Patricia

I read, I write, I blog, and sometimes I do the laundry and cook. My 2014 novel, Dead Wrong, was a finalist in the thriller category of the 2015 Colorado Book Awards. Wishing Caswell Dead (Five Star/Cengage, December 20, 2017) is a historical mystery set in 1830s Illinois in the fictitious Village of Sangamon. The novel was a finalist for the 2018 Colorado Book Awards for General Fiction. My most recent release, In Defense of Delia (Five Star/Cengage, November 2022), is available in hardcover and will soon be available in ebook and trade paperback. Read More…
