Message in a Bottle Collection Giveaway
Welcome to the Message in a Bottle Romance Collection Book Launch Giveaway!
This giveaway is our joy to share with you. A gathering of gifts hand-picked to celebrate you, and shine a light upon the one true hope that is given to us by a God who shines light into our lives.
Read on to learn more about three special prizes, all intertwined with the themes of our anthology of novellas.
About This Book
Join the 5-stop blog hop for lots of behind the scenes fun!
In the year 834 AD, an Irish monk flings a bronze bottle into the sea, praying the Latin word etched onto the vessel will reach a hurting soul and restore faith. Little does he know the far-reaching, eternal impact it will have throughout the ages. . .
The Message in a Bottle Romance Collection follows the legacy of this bottle’s contents as it touches five women’s lives in unique ways.
From the misty shores of Ireland to a famed river voyage on the Thames, it travels. From the perils of post-Colonial New York to the struggles during the Civil War, it changes hearts. Finally, washing ashore at a Victorian-era hotel, it delivers one final message of hope and love.
The Message in a Bottle Romance Collection begins with a prologue and its first novella in this lush, history-rich land. One winner will receive this Slice of Ireland prize: ownership of one square foot of land to call their very own in Ireland! You’ll receive a personalized Certificate of Ownership, a personalized Deed of Assurance, two photographs of the land, and even directions, in case the wind blows you to those shores some day and you’d like to visit your plot o’ land! We’ll be purchasing this gift for the winner from BuyIreland.com, and we love what they had to say:
Ireland is famous for its poor signposting, so we decided it was important to include detailed directions to help you find your plot of land should you ever have the opportunity to visit in person!
Care to explore the area? Have a look around the actual countryside where your square foot would be:
Have questions about how this all works? Please feel free to visit BuyIreland.com; they have a wonderful FAQ page, and lots more wonderful information.
A single word is etched upon the bronze bottle in this collection: SPERO. The Latin word for hope. The bottle holds different contents at different points in the story, but the one thing the vessel always brings is hope.
In that same spirit, this prize is so close to our hearts. It’s a copper-blush mercury glass bowl full of something extra special… scriptures that have been an anchor of hope, personally, for the wonderful members of our book launch team (thank you for making this gift so special, friends!)
These wonderful ladies opened their hearts and shared these hand-picked verses, all with the desire of passing that encouragement on in this Vessel of Hope prize.
The winner will receive this bowl, as well as a bundle of those hand-picked verses to fill your days with encouragement and to gird your heart with the gift of hope, just like the word etched on the bronze bottle in the story.

This Wanderer’s Delight prize is for the wayfarer at heart. With souvenirs hand-gathered by us from Ireland and Coronado Island, a gold-look-foil scratch-off map, crafted in Romania and waiting to tell your own travel stories or hopes, and a stunning glass bottle with a message of its own to share, this prize bundle has literally traveled the world to find its way into its winner’s home.
This map is ready to adorn your wall with your own stories (or hopes) of travel, family, and/or prayer. The map is detailed in this beautiful gold foil, covering a full-color map. Scratch off spots to show places you’ve been, places you would love to see, places important to your family, places you’ve prayed for, or any other purpose you choose. Scratch off entire portions, scratch off different symbols on different places and make your own map key. Put a star upon the destinations you’d like to travel, then scratch them off entirely once you’ve been there, for example. The possibilities truly are endless!
The map features over 10,000 cities and places to mark, a unique scratch area to mark tiny countries and world wonders, and it includes push pins, a metal scraper, and a dust cloth as well.
The Tear Bottle,
from author Maureen Lang:
This little bottle was manufactured as a perfume bottle, and can be used as such . . . but not long ago I was reminded of the verse in Psalms about God keeping track of our tears by putting them in a bottle.(Psalms 56:8) Envisioning that, I realized
our tears must be precious to Him, precious enough to be stored like expensive perfumes or spices. So I bought myself a pretty perfume bottle that sits on my desk to remind me that God must have a purpose in our tears.
I hope this “tear bottle” for you will be a reminder of God’s love, while I pray that a rarity of your tears (except from laughter) is part of why they’re so precious.
Irish Treasures,
gathered in Ireland by author Jocelyn Green:
Jocelyn found herself walking the land of our prologue, just as we were brainstorming and writing this book. While she was there, she picked out these treasures for this giveaway: a beautiful journal in the style of The Book of Kells, and these earrings woven into the symbol for the Trinity. The winner of this prize bundle will hold a bit of Ireland in their hands when they receive these lovely items!
Shimmering Hope Decor,
hand-picked by authors Joanne Bischof and Amanda Dykes from within a gift shop at the Hotel Del Coronado– the setting of Joanne’s novella!
This Glass “Hope” Ornament, adorned within by bits of gold-like shimmer, was nestled within a corner of a gift shop at the historic Hotel Del Coronado on Coronado Island. When we spotted it, we knew it was just the thing to tuck into this giveaway!
