The One with the Behind the Mist Giveaway

I do love a good giveaway :)
(PS - The 2Peas Gardeners' Digest March 2013 Blog Hop giveaway is still open 'til Thursday!)
My mother-in-law, M.J. Evans, is the next J.K. Rowling, FYI. She's a very talented author of middle grade (ages 8-12) and young adult (ages 12 and up) books. In celebration of her soon-to-be-published fantasy book, North Mystic, I want to do a giveaway of the first book in her middle-grade geared Mist trilogy.

Here's a summary of Behind the Mist: Book One of the Mist Trilogy from Chris' book review blog:

"What begins as a simple, yet strong, bond between and boy and his horse becomes a enduring partnership that sustains Nick and Jazz through their thrilling journey into the land behind the mist: Celestia, a kingdom beyond this world, ruled and protected by great and noble horses who have attained the vaulted status of unicorn. While at first Nick appears to be the only human in this world, he learns the truth behind a battle that is threatening to tear Celestia apart. With the guidance of the Council of the Twelve Ancients and their leader Urijah, Nick and Jazz must face off against the forces of evil to save not only the kingdom, but also a lonely, forsaken prisoner held captive in the darkness. 

"This is the first book of my mother’s middle-grade fantasy trilogy, The Mist Trilogy. I was able to read early drafts of this book so it was extremely fun to see the changes she made and to get to hold the actual book in my hands. The story, while being the first in a trilogy, stands as an exciting tale all on its own, while simultaneously introducing the reader to the developing mythology within the saga. 

"Behind the Mist would definitely appeal to fans of fantasy such as C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia. On the surface, the story is a fun adventure, but deeper levels hold meaning and teach a moral tale. It would be a great book for parents to read to their children to teach them important lessons while helping them gain a love of reading. Plus, it is just a great book to read on your own."

Book 2 of the trilogy, Mists of Darkness, has also been published and is a great continuation of the story from Behind the Mist. 

So, all you have to do to win a personally inscribed by the author copy of Behind the Mist is leave a comment below. I'll choose a winner Easter morning! Good luck!
