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.

  1. Wow, sounds like a super interesting read - something I would have never known the Royal Navy did if you hadn't done the research! Thank goodness you did to make it accurate! I checked out the blurb on Amazon and it looks like a wonderful story! I wish you the best of luck with your launch! :)

    1. Thanks so much, Shawnna. Malcolm needed a heroic passion, that's what sent me looking for an occupation out of the norm and still so valiant.

  2. Congrats on the release, Tess.

    There's never anything as exciting as a new book out. Well, giving birth is pretty high, in many ways, it feels almost the same.

    1. Oh, Christie, thanks...and I'm not sure if getting a book out is harder or easier than giving birth? LOL...

  11. Thank you, Tessy, for letting me be a part of this book's journey. Being your critique partner is an honor. CHANCE FOR FREEDOM is her best Historical thus far, folks! Malcolm rocks.

    I'd enter the contest, but if I won it would just look like favoritism LOL

    Best wishes, Tessy! Can't wait to have a peek at the next one. :-)
