There are two new ways to get your name into the monthly drawing for the book giveaway. (See http://dragonsinourmidst.blogspot.com/2013/01/new-contest-for-remainder-of-2013.html for contest details. I added the new information to the original post.) If you already have your name in the drawing, these tasks will allow you to get your name in additional times.
#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.

New Contest for the Remainder of 2013
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:

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.
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.

Florida Christian Writers Conference!
Writers and potential writers, please consider attending the Florida Christian Writers Conference February 27 to March 3 at the Lake Yale Conference Center near Leesburg, FL.
When people ask me what advice I would give to aspiring writers, my number one answer is to go to such conferences. There you will meet one-on-one with publishing house representatives, published authors, and literary agents who can help you with your writing and potentially help you with getting your work published.
My career launched at this conference, so maybe yours can as well.
I will be leading the "Teen Track" at this year's Florida conference, so if you want to learn writing techniques from me, you will receive several hours of training, including individual critiques of your work.
There are also contests, a banquet, and lots of time to interact with other conferees. You can learn much more from the conference website - http://www.floridacwc.net/
