LAUNCH PARTY
Welcome to the launch party for
CHANCE FOR FREEDOM ~ Book 2 in the Chances Are Series.
In celebration of the release of CHANCE FOR FREEDOM, I am giving away a $100 giftcard to either Barnes and Noble or Amazon (winner's choice). To be entered in the giveaway, either leave a message here on the blog with your email address or send me an email at tess@tessstjohn.com saying you would like to be entered! The giveaway will run until 9:00 pm central time Thursday night.
See the last blog post for the blurb to CHANCE FOR FREEDOM.
This book required a lot of research. Anyone who knows me, and understands how mistreatment of others wounds me, will understand how difficult it was for me to write this story. But I truly felt the slaves and the men who served on the West Africa Squadron (part of the Royal Navy) deserved to be written about, even if it is in a work of fiction.
Be sure to leave your email address or email me to enter the drawing for the giftcard!! GOOD LUCK!
Purchase CHANCE FOR FREEDOM for kindle at Amazon, for nook at Barnes and Noble, for your computer and other devices at Smashwords, and print books will be available soon.

CHANCE FOR FREEDOM IS OUT!!
Hello Everyone. I do hope your beginning of 2013 has been wonderful!
I learned something in 2012...with my health issues (the main reason I Indie publish my books), I will never give another date when any books will be released. I did, however, make the deadline of 2012...by maybe 6 hours. I uploaded CHANCE FOR FREEDOM everywhere on December 31st.
People who enjoyed SECOND CHANCES will hopefully like seeing many of the same characters in CHANCE FOR FREEDOM and for others who have not read SC, this book does stand alone also.
This book holds a special place in my heart. I never, in a million years, would have guessed that I would write a book having anything to do with slavery...I abhor it so, but Malcolm had to be a noble hero...and in making him such, he needed a purpose to his life before he met Katherine. I do not show the ugly side of slavery in my book. It would just hurt my heart too much, even just the research affected me. My heart hurts for anyone who suffered (suffers) through being a slave.
You can also learn about The West Africa Squadron (the part of the Royal Navy Malcolm served for years), that patrolled the coast of West Africa trying to stop the slave trafficking, in the book at at Wikipedia.
Blurb:

Blurb:
Haunted from his years of service to The West Africa
Squadron, where he endeavored to stop the trafficking of slaves, Captain
Malcolm Westbourne is assigned to the disappearances of orphans in England.
Miss Katherine Ashby is thrilled when Malcolm arrives to
protect her orphans, but her happiness is short-lived when he insists on an
explanation of why she rejected his courtship a year ago. Katherine is falling
in love with Malcolm, but must confront what happened to her as a child if she
desires a future with him.
Malcolm had never experienced the instant attraction he felt
when first being introduced to Katherine, but he also sees the fear in her
eyes. He pursues her with kindness, humor, and patience in an attempt to gain
her trust.
When Malcolm’s investigation turns deadly, he, too, must
face the demons of his past. Will Katherine and he break free from the shackles
binding them and learn to trust each other, or will they be held prisoner to
the past forever?
