This Contest ends Sunday, January 6th at midnight. |
RULES TO ENTER DRAWING FOR GIFT CARD:
Each day of my book tour up until January 7th, I will update/edit this posting with a "TWEET OF THE DAY." This "Tweet" will appear below the embedded twitter graphic. All you have to do is copy and paste that tweet into twitter and hit send. Then comment here and say "tweet sent." Only one comment per day please on this post! Also if you are super lazy, you can just retweet me when I tweet the book tour stop of the day. But be sure to comment here so it counts as an entry by saying "I retweeted you."
IF YOU DON'T HAVE TWITTER but would like participating in the drawing, then visit the blog on which I'm appearing and comment once and then comment here that you visited. The twitter option is much simpler though because you don't even have to go read what I wrote. Only one comment per day please on this post!
On January 7th, I will do a random.org of all the comments here. Obviously the more comments you have, the better chance you have that you will be the one chosen by random.org to win the $50 Amazon gift card.
Anyone in the world may enter as often as they want including book tour hosts.
And that's it.
Easy Peasy.
TWEET FOR JANUARY 3rd: PLS RT- In #Oculus there's a strong allegorical element. Who knew? #amreading http://indiebookblogger.blogspot.com/2013/01/michael-offutt-oculus-blog-tour-stop.html
BONUS TWEET: Pls RT - A #giveaway of $50 for just sending ONE tweet and commenting. Way easier than the #fiscalcliff. Details here: http://slckismet.blogspot.com/2012/12/oculus-book-tour-and-50-amazon-gift-card.html
BLOG I'M AT: I'm at Indie Book Blog.
Thank you for all the support.
If you want to see who I've scheduled, please check the Oculus Book Tour tab above. I will update this post to let people know where I'm at that day, and a link to send you there if you wish to read it.
At each step of my book tour, I'll be giving away stuff. There's a free bookmark, signed paperback books, and electronic books to be had. So feel free to enter those if you want. Have a great holiday.
Hooray! So excited to be part of your book tour & I love the sound of your competition. :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to have you at The Imaginarium. It's going to be so much fun. :) Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your book tour, it's going to be great. And have fun in Las Vegas! So jealous (; Enjoy your Christmas break and New Year!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have fun in Vegas. Don't forget the IWSG on January 2.
ReplyDeleteNice idea. Count me in.

Mike,
ReplyDeleteWishing you every success with your tour and with book sales too. I'm on Oculus as soon as I have a reader I like, which should be soon. Have a wonderful Christmas when it comes!
Yay!! I hope the book tour drums you up some sales! I'll try my best to retweet you every day
ReplyDeleteI dunno, I don't just retweet anyone...
ReplyDeleteI forgot to return the email about the blog tour. My apologies. I did, however, already buy your books and a crappy Kindle on which to read them. :)
ReplyDelete@Alex: Thanks for the reminder, Alex. I'll get that scheduled.
ReplyDelete@Joy: Thank you for being so supportive.
@Falen: You are the best.
@Tonja: I think enough people signed on for it that I'm good. This book tour is huge. Course I've no idea how good Roxanne has been at communicating with people. I'm glad though that I did not have to write all those contact emails.
Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteYour blog tour is gonna rock. I will be a Twittering Twit fo' sho.
Awesome idea! Definitely going to help out. (Btw, just include me in any tweet @EJWesley and I'll automatically RT for you, no need to enter me each time if you don't think of it--just cause I think you're great. :) Very serious congrats, Michael.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm INSANELY jealous of you getting to go to CES. Do you get to attend for work, or are you going for fun? (I'd absolutely go for fun incidentally. Nerd like that ...) Hoe you'll share some of the cool things you see and do, and good luck with the launch!
What I want to know is whether you get your own tour bus. If you have that many stops to make, I don't think you should have to be the one driving.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new book and release/blog festivus coming up. And have fun in Vegas. Well, you know, don't get arrested or anything. :)
ReplyDeleteYou know how to throw a party, Michael! And I've got mad tweeting skills, so... ya know. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd I want to go to Vegas! For fun. Think I'll fit in your suitcase? And for real, so proud of you, Michael. Exciting stuff here. Can't wait. :D
Hope the tour goes well, Michael. I'll be happy to help however I can. Have a wonderful holiday.
ReplyDeleteOf course I'll retweet you. Good luck with the blog tour.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS Michael.
ReplyDeleteI am really excited for you! I'd be more that happy to tweet away!
What a fun an novel concept....
HAPPY HOLIDAYs to you TOO!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats on the tour, Mike! I'll try to do your bidding, but my mouse-hand tendonitis is still healing.
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your extended tour!
ReplyDeleteSounds like it will be a great tour!
ReplyDeleteSince I flaked out on signing up for your blog tour (which I shoulda done and not just assumed my blog was too obscure), the least I can do, Michael dear, is happily follow your blog tour and comment faithfully, especially since I don't tweet. I'll also give you a shout out on my posting for this Monday, and over the holidays I should FINALLY have time to sit and enjoy Oculus.
ReplyDeleteHave a splendid holiday.
I just wanted to stop in and wish you a very merry Christmas! I hope that this coming year is a great one for you! Have a wonderful holiday!
ReplyDeleteAngela
You have a fun contest going. I'll happily tweet for you.
ReplyDeleteThe best of luck with your tour, and enjoy your time in Sin City!
ReplyDeleteGoing to be a really busy time for you. I'll try ot visit as much as I can and follow you everywhere.
ReplyDeleteLong book tours are great!! :) Very excited for you Michael! I will be probably retweeting...but we'll see. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe drawing will begin with comment number 30, which occurs right after this post. I will random.org a winner on January 7th. Thank you everyone. Please remember to just say "I tweeted" in the comment or alternately "I visited." That's it.
ReplyDeleteI tweeted! :-)
ReplyDeleteExcellent plan to get the word out. I'll definitely drop by as often as I can to get the day's tweet.
ReplyDeleteNot because I necessarily want to win, but because you're awesome and I want to help you get the word out.
Let me know if there's more I can do. :-)
Tweet sent.
Michael, you rock, and I'm sure your newest fictional creation is as great as the first! Can't wait to read it.

ReplyDeleteHave a safe and wonderful holiday season.

ReplyDeleteI RT'ed you, and now I'm commenting here so you can stop complaining about how we're all too well-to-do to pass up $50. Although for the record, I'd be perfectly happy RT'ing you and telling people about your books without the $50 gift card. I am literally only commenting to make you happy. So you damn well best be happy, Mr. Offutt!
ReplyDeleteI tweeted (third time now, but I get busy and don't come back to comment--the tweet's the important thing anyway. It doesn't matter if I'm entered in the drawing or not).
ReplyDeleteTweeted and this looks super exciting, Michael! I wish you all the best man. *waving and smiling*
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the book tour I've made it a point to get involved and follow along regardless of how crazy this time of year is.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time in Vegas Dude, and enjoy your break. See ya on the other side :)

(Re)Tweeted for Jan. 4.
ReplyDeleteAlso; I read your post for today and I have to say that I admire the work you do outside of writing. The way you help folks enjoy a better quality of life got me all misty-eyed (yes, I'm the gal who snivels during sentimental commercials and whatnot). :-)
Tweeted. :-)
ReplyDeleteRetweeted Jan. 5. Hope you enjoyed smooth travels to Sin City!
