New Release Fun, Games and #giveaway - 12 Sisters Who Changed History

Raise your hand if you love new releases!


I do too. :D And since this week is special, I've got some fun games and giveaways lined up.

Wanna know why this week is so special? 
It is the release week of my very first EVER non-fiction title, 12 Sisters Who Changed History. This book tells the remarkable tales of 6 pairs of sisters who ended up changing the course of history. It was so much fun to research the history behind each of these women, and all of them have so much that we can glean from their lives.

Who is my favorite pair of sisters?
It's really hard to pick a favorite pair of sisters, but I really, REALLY enjoyed researching Rachel and Leah. In fact, my research for this book changed my opinion of them. I used to think of Rachel

Where did the idea come from?
Since I come from a family of 12 children, siblings are a favorite subject of mine. So when I was looking for a new blog series, I was intrigued by the thought of Sisters who changed or impacted history. That blog series went so well, and I had so much fun that I decided to expand it into a book.

Ready to see the cover?!!! Here's a jigsaw puzzle of the book cover, just for fun.

 
What do I hope readers take away from the book?
12 Sisters is so much more than just a biography of 12 women. It shares the main events in these sisters' lives, how they related to each other, and how they impacted the world. Besides being inspired by these amazing characters and the fascinating history readers will encounter, I hope they also walk away thinking about what they can do to change the world for the better.

While we're on the subject of sisters, Share with me your fondest memory with your sister to get your name in the drawing for an ebook copy of 12 Sisters Who Changed History!

 About the book:
The remarkable lives of twelve sisters who changed the course of history.
Historians paint pictures of amazing men and women who influenced the world, but seldom do we hear about sister duos that forever altered the course of history. Whether fighting together—or against each other—these twelve women set armies to flight, guarded homelands from invasion, transformed countries and religious systems, and begat nations. From mythical Athena and Artemis, to the English thrones of Mary & Elizabeth Tudor, the influence these women left behind is taken for granted. Join us on an inspirational journey through time as we explore the extraordinary lives of Sisters Who Changed History.
