Let’s try something NEW!
From time to time I’ve seen other authors online do book giveaways. These fine folks set up little competitions, and in the end someone wins something from their library of books — YAY! I became an author four years ago, so I figure it’s about time I give it a try …
What’s at stake? A copy of my debut recipe book — “Make Your Own Darn Good Cookies”! This book features over 50 proven recipes including cookies, biscotti, coffee, some breakfast items, and other comfort foods. It also has 3 of my original compositions for Highland bagpipes … somehow I suspect most people get use out of the recipes.
Allow me to clarify a few things up front …
To enter my book giveaway you must e-mail me your answer to the following challenge. I will put your e-mail address on my book-release notification mailing list. I dislike mailing lists — and I figure you do to — so I will only e-mail if …
- You won — YAY!
- To notify you of my book releases (obviously!), &/or …
- If there is something I think you really need to know.
Later, if you want to get off my book-release notification list — no problem — just email me and ask! Oh, and I have to say, please give everyone else a fair chance — only e-mail me with one answer to the challenge, and only message me from one e-mail address. I will disqualify anyone I find sending in multiple answers … so … don’t do it … or at least don’t get caught … but come on, play fair and let’s keep it fun!
Also, I have no intention of starting a news letter. I will not be emailing people weekly or daily or monthly or yearly — those drive me bonkers! I’m busy enough publishing a free recipe of the month as it is.
My Upcoming Books
I am working to release 5 (yes, five) new books with the following release goals …
- Thanksgiving / Xmas / New Years cookie recipe book — September 2022
- 2020 Recipe Of The Month Keepsake book — October 2022
- 2021 Recipe Of The Month Keepsake book — November 2022
- Scot / Irish recipe book — February 2023
- 2022 Recipe Of The Month Keepsake book — March 2023
Enough with all of that — The Challenge!
The following picture is from my
April 2022 Recipe Of The Month
… and it has an error in it!
Find the error — or what you think is the error — and e-mail me with your answer. If you give me the right answer, your name / e-mail address will go into a ‘hat’ (figuratively speaking) with the other correct entries. At the end of April 2022 one of these entries will be drawn along with a few runners-up. I will e-mail and notify the winner — I will wait 7 days to hear back from this individual as to where to mail their book and if they want their copy signed (and so-on down the list of names drawn). I intend to further announce the name and city of the winner on social media after making contact by e-mail.
If this goes well … I just might do more giveaways in the future!
What if I just want to get on your new book notification list, Don?
Great — no problem! Just e-mail me with a note saying that you would like to be added to my new book notification list — and … Voilà!
What if I don’t win?
