Another 48 Hour Contest!

We have another contest for you!

And it's the same as a previous one, but you get a new chance to win a prize. :)


Guess our current mileage. How far have we driven?

Same rules apply as last time. You can post your guess here in the comments for this post. This contest is available for 48 hours. Guesses after 10/28/11 at 3PM will not be counted, even if you post them.

Whoever guesses the mileage closest to what we've really driven will win a prize.

What prize, you say?

A copy of The Bones of Makaidos.

This copy of 'Bones' is a little bit damaged, which is why we're giving it away and not selling it. ;) It has a dented corner and a small tear on the binding, nothing horrific. If you do not want this prize, just don't give a guess for the mileage! :)

Remember, you can give it away to friends or to the library, if they're missing it from their collection.

Underestimated!

We really underestimated our miles total for this tour!

As of last night (10/24/11) we reached 10,000 miles driven!

Contest Reminder

There are three books you can purchase during the tour contest that can count toward entries in the Kindle/Nook drawing. The three are Third Starlighter, Diviner, and Precisely Terminated. If you buy one or more of them at any time during the tour (September 13 through November 19), just send me proof of purchase, and you will get credit for three additional entries in the drawing for each book purchased. Even if you buy multiple copies of a book, you will get credit for each one.

Just scan or take a photo of the receipt and send it to me, or forward an email receipt to author (at) daviscrossing (dot) com.

Tour Days 31, 32, 33, and 34

We reached home on tour day 30, so you could argue that the 4 days we were home aren't tour days, but I would argue otherwise. :)

During the four days we were home, all we did was take inventory, pack the van again, and make sure all our financial info was in order, barely any time to rest at all.

So. They count as tour days. :)

No pictures taken, because it would be just more pictures of boxes.

I hope you all are having a good day and will continue to read our blog. I'm trying to get caught up on all of these back logged days, really!

Also, I hope to get another video up soon. We have no footage at the moment, but next time we have some, there will be a word for the contest.

On another note, if you are participating in the contest for the grand prize and come out to a book store and purchase one of the books, you must TELL us about that! You can't come out to the book store and just think we'll recognize you and put your name in the drawing that extra number of times. We're not that talented, sorry. :)

So if you've come out to a signing and/or have purchased the books that count for extra times in the drawing, make sure you let me know about it. (for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, go read this post )

Tour Day Thirty - 10/12/11

On Day thirty, we were heading home!

First we made a quick stop in Springfield, MO to speak to a school.



Then we were able to head home. :)


And I didn't bother getting a picture of the TN welcome sign because I already have one. :)

Tour Day Twenty-Nine 10/11/11

Twenty-Nine was mostly just a driving day. :)

We spoke at Deshler Lutheran school that morning. The kids there were especially excited about Precisely Terminated. :)

After the school we drove . . . and drove . . . and drove.

Nebraska was rather flat.


Then we entered Kansas

And finally stopped in Springfield, Missouri for the evening.

Tour Day Twenty - Eight 10-10-11 (I realize we're a few days behind!)

Day Twenty-eight we were in North Platte, Nebraska.

In North Platte, we spoke to a homeschool group, did a writing workshop with them, and then had a book signing at the Bible Supplies store.

We arrived in North Platte a little early so we stopped at the Bible Supplies and saw the fantastic setup the bookstore had for us. :)

They even had all of my dad's books, which is a first for any store on the tour so far. Usually the stores are missing one or two of his novels, but not Bible Supplies.

After going to the book store, we went to the homeschool group and spoke to them and did a short writing workshop as well.

Then we headed off to the book signing

One person sent over her very well loved books for my dad to sign, though she couldn't come because she had to work.


After the signing, the book store owners gave us some caramel popcorn from the popcorn store down the street which was much appreciated. Then we left for Deshler, NE for our event on the 11th.
