Cynsational Giveaway

Enter to win a paperback copy of The Adventurous Deeds of Deadwood Jones by Helen Hemphill (Front Street, 2008/Boyds Mills, 2011). From the promotional copy:

When Prometheus Jones wins a horse with the raffle ticket he got from Pernie and LaRue Boyd, he knows things aren’t going to go smoothly. No way those two rednecks were going to let a black man, even a free man from the day of his birth, keep that horse. 

So as soon as things get ugly he jumps on the horse, pulls his friend Omer up behind him, and heads off. They hook up with a cattle drive out of Texas heading for Deadwood, North Dakota.

To enter, comment on this post and include an email address (formatted like: cynthia at cynthialeitichsmith dot com) or a link to an email address. Or email Cynthia directly with “Deadwood Jones” in the subject line. Author-sponsored. Eligibility: U.S./Canada entries only. Deadline: midnight CST Oct. 31.

  1. Cyn: Thanks for the good words. The 2012 Whole Novel Workshop (with a terrific session for nonfiction too) is going to be amazing. I'm thrilled to be part of the program.

  2. I had the good fortune of being mentored by Helen at Chautauqua last summer. Her workshop there was awesome. Highlights has sure chosen the right woman for this job! The Whole Novel Workshop is a perfect weekend getaway with intensive writing study and Marsha's wonderful food!
