BCS author Christopher M. Cevasco‘s new historical fiction novel Beheld: Godiva’s Story releases from Lethe Press on Apr. 10, and in celebration, BCS is giving away a signed copy.
Beheld: Godiva’s Story is a historical fiction novel of the real Lady Godiva in 11th-century England, following her and her earl husband and a Benedictine novice as their lives become entangled in a web of ambition, voyeuristic lust, and horrid obsession, leading to her legendary ride.
This giveaway for a signed copy of Beheld: Godiva’s Story will take place Tuesday April 12 on the BCS Twitter feed @BCSmagazine. It will run from 2 PM EST until 5 PM EST.
To enter, all you need to do is tweet what your favorite BCS story that’s set in a historical Earth setting is.
