The von Strassenberg Saga ~ 2 New 5 Star Reviews!

To begin, I want to give my thanks to the readers who take the time to leave ratings and reviews (especially those who go above and beyond and drop their reviews at Amazon and Barnes). A girl couldn't ask for better readers and you all have been wonderful. I appreciate your honesty, your enthusiasm, and your support. It helps keep me going. Though you are beginning to set the bar a bit high for book 2! No pressure....


Two new reader reviews from goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11234679-filter


"Loved it! Well written, fast paced, and great storyline. I loved how it went back and forth between the timelines. I can't wait for the next book to come out so that I can see what happens next." (5/5)


"An absolutely wonderful book. I enjoyed every moment of reading this novel. The characters are will crafted and story line flows, even with switching back and forth between 1870's and 2010. This was a goodreads first reads win and I could not be any happier that I won this book to read. Hope this is the first of many books by Ms. Wright. I have definitely found another wonderful author to follow." (5/5)


Thank you again!

Only 2 Days Left!

There are only two days remaining in the giveaway for Filter: Book One of The von Strassenberg Saga. (see sidebar--->) And, since more than 500 people have entered to win the 5 signed copies of Filter, I will also be giving Advanced Readers' Copies of The BlueStocking Girl: Book Two of The von Strassenberg Saga, to the winners upon the novel's completion (those copies won't arrive until Octoberish)! 
This is not your typical YA series, think more of if Dean Koontz wrote Wuthering Heights. See earlier posts for sample chapters! 
Also, you should know, that if you happen to not win this giveaway there will be another in September, prior to the release of The BlueStocking Girl, after all book 2 will not make sense if you haven't read book 1. This is not a stand-alone kind of series. Each book is vital to the next and even to the previous...which you will discover as the series continues. So if you want to know what's going on with future giveaways follow my blog or join me on Facebook, look for The von Strassenberg Saga page. 
Good luck! I can't wait to see who wins! 

Almost There!

We have almost reached that magical 500 point for The von Strassenberg Giveaway (see sidebar)! If we reach 500 I will  send Filter (book one) now and Advanced Readers' Copies of Book 2 (before it is available to random citizens...probably around October) to the 5 winners! Also, as a side note and a bit of a warning to readers, I am more Dean Koontz than Stephanie Meyer. When I was a teen girl we didn't have a lot of money, so I usually wound up borrowing books from my father's library. This was mostly comprised of Koontz, Grisham and Patterson. In my grade school-middle school years I never read Sweet Valley High but rather preferred Lois Duncan and Carolyn Keene and Christopher Pike. So if you want an idea of what you're signing up to win, imagine if Dean Koontz wrote Wuthering Heights...it's something like that. I have stopped listing The von Strassenberg Saga as a romance, people expect certain things of a romance that you won't find in these books. While there is a strong romantic element, this is, after all, a family saga. And what good would a family saga be if everything went perfectly.....
If you're a pessimistic sort of person or just plain impatient, you can buy Filter at Amazon  (or for less...$10...at Barnes and Noble http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Filter/Gwenn-Wright/e/9781461053002?itm=1&USRI=gwenn%2Bwright)
