Our Sunday Visitor just delivered some great news!
The Association of Catholic Publishers announced finalists for their annual Excellence in Publishing Awards and Deathbed Conversions is a contender in the biography category. Winners will be announced in late May.
OSV is also sponsoring a sale and a giveaway.
The sale:
From now until May 16th, you can buy the book for just $9 (down from the $13.95 cover price) through this link at Our Sunday Visitor.
The giveaway:
If you leave a comment on this blog post, I'll enter your name into a drawing (I like to have Ramona or Betsy draw the names from my current favorite coffee cup) to win one of five free copies of the book. OSV will be sending out books to the winners, and if you'd like a signed bookplate, I'll send that on from my end!
** If you leave a comment here, please be sure to leave your name, and be sure to check back here on the morning of May 17th to see if you have won. ** (Contest will close Friday night, May 16th, CDT.)
So, if you ever wanted a deathbed conversion -- no, strike that (ummm, if you've ever wanted a deathbed conversion, go get busy right now on the converting stuff. Don't wait, thinking someone might write a book about you someday.)
Let me start that again ...
If you've ever wanted to read about deathbed conversions, now's your chance.
Can't wait to hear from you!

Edited to note: Entries for a paperback copy of the book are limited to those living within the continental U.S. If you live outside the continental U.S., OSV can send a digital copy of the book if you are a winner.

I would like to win this book. thank you for the chance.
I found your blog via Roxane Salonen. I have found your 'after miscarriage' book very helpful and would love to have a copy of this book of yours to read!
[and this is a NEW Amanda :)]
Congratulations! Don't include me in the giveaway as the postage costs would be huge. I just wanted to cheer you on. :)

Owning your book would be a dream come true. Deathbed Conversions is the greatest book of the century! Oh, and if you don't give me one, I won't do my chores tonight. :))))
Ramona, that dog *will* be fed tonight, Deathbed Conversion or no Deathbed Conversion.
Nice try at buttering me up, though. ;)
Congratulations! I would love to win a copy.

I would love to have one of your books! Congratulations!
I plan on having a deathbed conversion, this would be great for helping me achieve my goal!
...oh wait, maybe not. Anyhow, I would love the book. :)
Rose, Fuzzy, and MrsF3, thank you! :)
I'd love a copy! Thank you!
What a great topic! Not a usual subject of conversation, for sure. Would love a chance to get this.
What a great topic - and one that's not usually talked about. Would love a copy!
I don't think I can wait that long to get a copy so I'm ordering one but I do want to congratulate you and if I win it I'll do a giveaway on my blog. Deal?
It would be so nice to receive a copy of this book. Looks very interesting.
I have heard how good this book is and would love to win a copy! Thanks!
I'm a cradle catholic convert! That is, one for whom the gift of faith was taken for granted the majority of my life. Then strange things with study, spiritual leadership and prayer led our family to openness to life, homeschooling, and right back in the arms of the Church.
A big factor in my wake up call has been reading conversion stories, about the pearl of great price. I love every conversion story because it's a witness of the Holy Spirits testimony in our lives.
Can't wait to read deathbed conversions!
I would love one - if you are able to enter non-US residents!
Sue, I checked in with OSV and for those outside the continental U.S., a digital copy could be sent to winners. Thanks for asking.
And to everyone who has entered so far, thanks for your interest and encouragement!

This sounds great. Would love to read this. Blessings!
Doggone it, it was so quiet here for so long I thought I might have a chance at winning, but now we (appropriately enough) are seeing a slew of last-minute "confessions" of fellow book-lovers that I might have to just buy a copy instead! ;)
Congratulations, Karen! How awesome!! I would love to win a copy, too ... and a personalized bookplate would be icing on the cake! Thank you, and God bless!
