The moment I read an advance reader copy of Ronie Kendig’s debut novel Dead Reckoning in late 2009, I knew I’d be reading every single one of her books to come and loving them! More than 16 titles later, I can confirm I was spot on in my thinking! What I didn’t anticipate back in 2009 was the forging of a beautiful and treasured friendship where barely a day goes by that we don’t connect in some way, that I’d become a character in her Discarded Heroes series (and have to forgive her for what she did to my book character’s boyfriend!), and that one of my favourite things in the world would be chatting story, character analysis, and scouring Google with my amazing friend, searching for the perfect photo match for her heroes 🙂
I love this photo because we were having so much fun just hanging out together in Nashville last year!
But enough reminiscing by me…
Thanks to Ronie, I’m super excited to give you the chance to win a signed advance reader copy of Ronie’s September release, CROWN OF SOULS! Having read the continuation of Tox and Wraith’s adventures, all I can say is you NEED to get your hands on this book, one way or another! A keepsake like this galley copy is a book lover’s dream, I can assure you. I’ve been in the book reviewing game for over a decade now and no matter what wonderful and exotic giveaways author and publishers offer, nothing means more to me than a signed copy of a beloved book. Obvious evidence I’m a supreme book nerd!
Enter to via the Google doc below! The giveaway is open to those with US postal addresses only and entries close midnight, Monday 31st July, 2017!

Just make me cry, why doncha! I was so flabbergasted when you, from the very beginning, championed my books. I had no idea what you saw in my stories, but I was elated to grow to call you friend. And then dearest friend! <3

I’m totally with you, Rel. Ronie’s books are a stand-out. I’m always so very sad when a book ends and I can’t pick up the next within a heartbeat. Sorry Ronie, you just don’t write fast enough!! 😍
Not only am I totally enamoured, but I plan on getting my son into something other than general-market fantasy. He likes fast-paced, so I think Ronie’s books are just the ticket. Of course, he’ll have to finish some English novels for school first!
So…a new, autographed book from Ronie. I have just the place on my shelf with which to honour it (after I’ve devoured it first, of course).
