Chapter Nineteen from THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE, last week’s contest winner, and new contest!

First, Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! As you can see, Leia is certainly in the holiday mood, heh.

Next, to the winners of last week’s contest giving away a $50 Amazon egift card to one winner, and a “book of your choice up to $25 in value” prize to another winner. As usual, winners were chosen at random because I can’t pick between you. For privacy reasons, only the winners’ first name and last initial will be publicly displayed. Winners will also be contacted via email, so check your email address if you see your name and initial below! Without further ado, the winner of the $50 Amazon egift card is…

Roslyn E J.

And the winner of the “book of your choice” prize is:

Jessica M.

Congrats, Jessica and Rosyln! Once again, check your emails for details on how to claim your prizes. Everyone else, you’ll have another chance to win because at the bottom of this post is ANOTHER contest. This time, there are THREE prizes for THREE winners, and again, part of this contest is open to international readers*.

Now, to the latest chapter. For new readers to my blog, I originally published the beginning of THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE as free, partial serial back in 2019, intending it as only a fun glimpse of some early chapters from Bones’s point of view. I never intended to turn it into an entire book, but reader response, plus my own enjoyment, convinced me to finish it.

ETA: The previous unrevised, unedited chapters have been taken down. You can read an extended excerpt from THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE here. (link: https://www.jeanienefrost.com/books/the-other-half-of-the-grave/)

THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE releases April 26th, 2022 in ebook, audio, and print (*due to supply chain issues, print editions might take longer to receive.) Preorder yours at #Ad Amazon, B&N, Apple Books, Kobo, or your favorite retailer.

A bit of a content warning on this new chapter: Bones is thinking some naughty thoughts during their dance scene, so don’t read this with any kids looking over your shoulder. Also, a reminder that none of these chapters have been through edits yet, so there may be spelling and/or grammar errors that will be fixed upon publication, in addition to other changes. Disclaimers aside, let’s get to the new chapter!
