My lovely publisher has kicked in another THIRTY copies of A SPEAR OF SUMMER GRASS to give away! We have twenty-five copies of the final book and five ARCs. They will be given out randomly in the hopes that the winners will post reviews by April 30. So, same rules as before, please check them out before you post:
*Enter to win by leaving a comment on the blog.
*Please leave one comment only–they’re being moderated, so yours may not show up until it’s been approved. I shall be sitting behind the scenes, approving as fast as I can, but hey, a girl’s got to eat, right? And it’s almost lunch time…
*The contest will be open from noon eastern until 2pm eastern or until we have 200 entries, whichever comes first. This keeps me from going mental over the moderation queue and it almost improves your chances to win!
*Once the contest closes, I will use a random number generator to choose the winners. The names will be posted here, and I’ll send a confirmation email. That’s it–good luck, y’all!
ETA: Mia Rose, I deleted your comment because you actually won in the FIRST giveaway! Email me your mailing address at deanna(at)deannaraybourn(dot)com so I can pop it in the post.
CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED! We had to close a few minutes early with 208 entries–a last batch came in together. Will announce winners shortly!
I’m trying again. Need a good Spring Break read! PLEASE, Mr. Random Number Generator, PLEASE!!!
Though I finished Far In The Wilds last night I still need more convincing before Ryder overtakes Brisbane in my affections – hint hint 😉
If at first you don’t succeed…
Deanna, I’m seeing great reviews — Congrats!
Third time’s the charm?
I want to win one!
I’d love a copy! I’d love to write up a review as well. I love all your Lady Julia novels and can’t wait for your new characters.
Can’t wait to the end of the month!
I like a good random number generator – would love a copy of this – in the “last contest” – good luck to everyone!
Although I will walk into a brick and mortar store and buy a book on release day, I can’t help but throw my hat in for an advance copy. Thank you!
Loved “Far In The Wilds”- can’t wait for the novel!!!
Me, me. 🙂
Can’t wait to read it!
Thank goodness for generous publishers!
Trying again, here’s hoping third times a charm.
Third time lucky hopefully!
I would be really happy if one copy would make it to Germany –> to ME! 😉
Can’t wait to read something new from Deanna…assuming of course that my 72 yo mom doesn’t rip it from my hands first! She is also in Raybourn withdrawal.
Thank you so much for this great giveaway! 🙂
I’d love to win!
I’m dying to read this one and an advanced copy would make my day. I’ll review anywhere I can. I’ll shout it from the rooftops! Thank you!
Trying again – I would love to win this, Deanna!
Would love to win! Can’t wait to read it 🙂
Winning ‘A Spear of Summer Grass’ would make my day!
So excited!!! I can’t wait to read this book!!
I would love to read this book!
This is an amazing giveaway! Thanks!
I’ve been a fan since Silent in the Grave. Would love to win a book from you!
I’m trying again like so many others are.
Any chance you will sign and even personalize these copies?
After all, you have so much free time on your hands…
I love that you’re giving us this opportunity! Sure I could walk into a bookstore, but I would keep the ARC in my rare book case– after I devoured it! 😛
So generous to have another contest, thanks!
My copy of “Far in the Wilds” is burning a hole in my iPad….can’t wait for “Spear!”
Can’t wait to read this book!
Thank you for another chance, I missed the last one!
Would LOVE to win the new book!
I will be finishing the book that I am reading soon, and I would love to have Deanna Raybourn material to keep me busy. Thank you (and your generous publisher) for the opportunity to win!
I can’t wait to read this book!
Oh, yes pleeease!
This will be 65 copies in total that you’ve given away. Deanna, you, your agent and your publisher are just the best! Thanks for your generosity.
Your publisher truly is lovely! Give them our thanks! 🙂
Loving my escape to Africa in the ’20s with ‘Far in the Wilds’– I’d love even more to keep that going. 🙂
Super excited for the release of this book! Would love to have the opportunity to read an advance copy. 🙂
Again! I’m pretty hopeful. Good luck everyone!
Looking forward to this book!!
Sr. Lizardo and I would be thrilled to win your book! We’re both huge fans!!
My fiance is happiest when she is reading one of your books–perhaps she might have a break from wedding-planning stress? :0)
I’m really hoping the random number generator looks my way. I’m so looking forward to reading the new book. 🙂
I started Far in the Wilds yesterday at lunch and I have to say that I would have just read through to the end if people hadn’t kept coming by reminding me of stuff they needed and meetings I promised to attend. I don’t know why people were emailing you about Ryder’s “badassitude” as I haven’t found it yet, though perhaps I have gotten far enough into the text yet. We’ll see. I was thinking of this novella and A Spear of Summer Grass as poor relations of the Julia series, but I see Far in the Wilds (great name, by the way) has life and spirit of its own. Don’t get me wrong, I want to see Julia and Nicholas again (AND FAST, miss), but I am liking the characters I have met in this novel so far as well. Take care!
Jaye
I just read Far into the Wilds and LOVED IT! I left you a 5-star review on Goodreads and Amazon. I can’t wait to read A Spear of Summer Grass. Please pick me!
Looking forward to your new book!
I’m feeling lucky! 🙂
Third times a charm right!!!
Yes, yes, yes, yes. Please, please, please, please. After FAR INTO THE WILDS, I am DYING, do you hear me, DYING, to witness the meeting between Deliah and Ryder.
YES!
Thank you for creating something worthy to read.
I somehow missed the first giveaways. Thanks to you and your publisher for another opportunity!

Deanna, your books are a delight to read. And fun! I enjoy the characters (all of them). As soon as I put your books down, the characters call to me….read more. I am always glad I didn’t read a book in one day; so I can have it a little longer, but I seem to always try! Thank you for all the great adventures thus far!
Thanks for the freebie!! Can’t wait to read the next one!
It’s the firts time that I try to win… so I hope to be lucky!
