New Contest for the Remainder of 2013

 The all-year contest. One book to be given away each month.

To enter the monthly drawing, post the following links on your Facebook wall or blog:

My website - http://www.daviscrossing.com/

My shopping page - http://www.daviscrossing.com/shopping.htm

My Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/BryanDavis.Fans

If you post this information, send me an email letting me know – bryan (at) daviscrossing (dot) com. Tell me your name and provide a link to the posting, and you will be entered in the drawing.

At the end of each month through 2013, I will draw from all those who have entered and will send the winner one of my books (winner’s choice of book), autographed if so desired. The book will also include a vintage bookmark from one of my earliest books. (See photos of bookmarks to the left.)

The names in the drawing will roll over to the next month, and you will be able to add your name again by posting the same information the next month. For example, if your name is in the drawing for January but you don’t win, your name will automatically be in the drawing for February. If you post the links in February and you let me know about your post, your name will be entered in February’s drawing an additional time, giving you a better chance to win. If you participate every month by posting the information each month, you’ll have your name in the drawing twelve times for December’s drawing.

If you win, your winning entry will be taken out of the drawing for the next month, but your other entries will remain. For example, if you had three entries in the drawing for the month of March and you won that month, your winning entry will be taken out, but your other two entries will roll over into April’s drawing, and new entries may be added according to the normal rules.

Also, if anyone orders a book from my shopping page, and that buyer lets me know that your prompting brought about the order, your name will be entered three additional times for that month, and those entries will roll forward through the months as well.

Here is a potential post you can use for your Facebook wall or blog:

Do you enjoy fantasy/adventure novels? I recommend that you try out books by Bryan Davis. Here are links to his web pages:

His website - http://www.daviscrossing.com/

His book buying page - http://www.daviscrossing.com/shopping.htm

His Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/BryanDavis.Fans

If you order a book from his shopping page, please let him know that you heard about it from me. I get a better chance to win a contest if you do.

 Here are two more ways to add your name to the monthly drawing:

#1 - Post a 5-star review of any of my books on either Amazon.com, Christianbook.com, or BN.com, and send the link to me by email - bryan (at) daviscrossing (dot) com. It has to be a review posted today or later. You may post as many reviews as you wish, but only one will qualify to give you another name in the drawing for this month. You may do this again in later months, but it has to be for a different book each time. Therefore, if you post a review in January, I will add your name once for the drawing. If you post a review in February for a different book, I will add your name again, and so on.

#2 - Go to a bookstore that has one of my books on the shelves. Have your photo taken at the shelf with the book in sight in the photo. Also, you need a story employee with you in the photo. The idea is to alert the bookstore employees about my books so they will know to tell customers about them. It is best to call ahead to make sure one of my books is in stock and to find out if an employee is allowed to participate. Email the photo to me and let me know if I have permission to post the photo on the blog and/or Facebook. Permission to post is not required in order to get your name in the drawing. Completing this task will get your name into the drawing three additional times. As with #1 above, this will count only once each month. 

Notes:

The contest is open to U.S. and non-U.S. residents with one qualification. If a non-U.S. resident wishes to participate, he or she, upon winning a book, must agree to pay the difference in shipping charges between what it would cost to ship to a U.S. resident versus what it would cost to ship to the non-U.S. winner. That extra charge must be paid through Paypal within three days of the drawing. If a potential non-U.S. resident wants to know in advance how much that cost would be, that person should email me the shipping location and which book he or she is interested in, and I will respond with the information. If a non-U.S. winner doesn’t pay the extra shipping charges within three days, I will conduct a new drawing for that month. U.S. winners will not have to pay any shipping charges.

As an alternative for a non-U.S. winner, I can send a book to a U.S. address at no charge, and the winner can arrange to have it shipped to his or her country.

The winners of the drawings will be notified by email, and their names will be announced on my blog or Facebook page if the winners permit the public announcement. If the winner does not respond to my notification email within 72 hours, that person's name will go back into the drawing pool, and I will choose a different winner for that month.

You must email me each month to get a new entry into the drawing. Notifications given to me in any other way will not qualify.

Please make your Facebook or blog postings as public as possible based on what you and/or your parents allow in the security settings.

Creating a new blog or Facebook page just for this contest is not allowed. The blog or page must have been in place and active before the start of this contest.

You will not receive additional entries for posting the information in multiple places. For example, if you post the information on Facebook and on a blog during January, you will receive only one entry that month. Still, I would appreciate the multiple posts.

If you don’t post the information on Facebook or on a blog, you may still be entered in the contest through the book purchase option.

If you buy a book yourself, that does qualify you to receive the three additional entries.

This contest is in no way sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Facebook or Blogger.com.

Participants are providing information to Bryan Davis and not to Facebook or Blogger.com. All information will be kept private and not shared with any third party.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
