In case you haven't been following along and anxiously counting the days with the rest of us, this is the magical day when Lost in the Bayou is being released through Musa Publishing
Since we haven't given anything away to our dear readers in some time, I thought it seemed appropriate to give away something related to that milestone event.
And that's exactly what we've decided to do. I'm confident that most of you take in some liquids on a daily basis. What's your pleasure? Coffee? Tea? Water? Milk? Cola? Or how about a nice warm mug of cocoa on the coming winter mornings. Well, whatever you like to drink, we've got just the mug to hold it. Check out that photo.
That's the mug we're giving away. A beautiful white ceramic cylindrical contemporary coffee mug with a handy handle (it's a mug) and a striking high resolution image of the Lost in the Bayou cover so artfully created by Lisa Lingenfelter Dovichi (of the Musa Publishing Art Department) and beautifully reproduced in all its splendid and colorful glory. Who could ask for anything more?
I'm sure it's going to be at about this point when the reader is sitting, eyes wide and lower jaw dropped in awe, saying, "Wow! I want that. What do I have to do to get it?" Well, hang onto your saddle horn because I'm about to tell you. And it's so very simple you won't believe it. All that's required is that you leave a comment below this post that contains the answers to the following three questions:
1. What is Robin Sherwood's age at the time the story is written?
2. What are the objects on Andy's tie?
3. What radio program is Uncle Conrad obsessed with?
Can you believe it's that easy? It is! Simply leave a comment below that includes the answers to those three questions and, if you correctly answer all three, you will be entered into a random drawing to get the beautiful coffee / tea / water / milk / cola / cocoa / whatever mug with the book cover image imprinted thereon. It will last forever provided it is not dropped or allowed to come into abrupt contact with a force greater than the tensile strength of its material composition.
A word of warning. Be wary of simply copying the answers contained in the other comments. I have several sneaky author friends who will be leaving comments containing BOGUS and INCORRECT information just to throw you off track. Remember, if your answers are wrong, you won't be entered. Nuff said?
The answers may be found at the Musa website by clicking HERE. Or they can be found when you visit the mini website by clicking HERE. To make certain you come up with the right answers, you can order the book by clicking HERE. And even if you don't win, you will have had an exciting adventure.
This contest will run from now until midnight, CST on December 16th, 2011. Winner will be announced on Monday, December 19th, 2012. Be sure to include in your comment a means of contacting you if you're declared the lucky winner. Contest is open only to entrants with a shipping address in the continental United States.
Best of luck to everyone!
Robin was 14, Andy had big eyed smiling frogs on his tie and Uncle Conrad loved the Lone Ranger radio show. There, done, nuff said. ;-)
ReplyDeleteRobin was 14. Andy had airplanes on his tie. Uncle Conrad listened to The Shadow on the radio.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure she's 14, but I think Andy had a car on his tie. And Conrad listens to the Lone Ranger.
ReplyDeleteRobin was 14yrs old, Andy had big eyed smiling frogs on his tie and Uncle Conrad was hooked on the Lone Ranger radio show.
ReplyDeleteSince I work at Musa, I probably can't get the prize...but I WANT THAT COFFEE MUG! Can I buy one? PLEASE!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure as part of the Musa team of directors I don't qualify to enter, but I know all the answers now!!! In fact, my plan to read a few chapters a night, so as not to stay up until 2 AM again was thwarted by the awesomeness of this book.
ReplyDeleteMmmm - Robin was 14.

And Uncle Conrad listened to the Lone Ranger radio show.

Well, gee, when I'm this late to the game I can copy off everyone else and be pretty sure I'm right. Plus, I double-checked because I hate being wrong.

I love drinking hot things from a mug -- coffee, hot cocoa, hot cider. Mmmm! Actually, I really love just holding the warm mug in my hands and up to my lips. It's my yummy-smelling security blanket!
