Fall Fun-Fest!

It's the final countdown: only 21 days until my second book is released! That means it's time to throw a Par-tay, complete with door prizes. No need to RSVP: you're welcome to just pop in anytime. Want to know what the door prizes are? Of course you do!

I'm giving away 5 copies of my new book, Catalyst: Wilder Times AND I'm giving away a dinner at Applebee's.

Now pay attention: you don't want to miss any of the details on how you can win.

First up, you have a chance to win one of five copies of Catalyst. This one is super-simple. All you have to do is go here (I'm using the stagnant blog so it's not so crowded around here. Nothing ruins a good party like overcrowding, especially when you're a hermit from Montana.) and fill out the form. The more you do to show that you are a Wilder Times fan, the more times your name is entered into the drawing. All the links you need to follow to get added for extra entries are in the sidebar. The form will be available now through September 23rd. Then come back to the blog starting on the 26th: one winner will be announced every day. And then ... duh duh duh, Catalyst will be available to the public. Yay!

But you'd like to win dinner at Applebee's too, wouldn't you? Don't worry, even if you win the book, you can still enter. The entry form will be available on Sept 25th and will close on Oct 9th. But I'm going to make you work for this prize: it's a check your Generations IQ test. Not to worry, it's an easy test with just a few questions based on the book, (i.e. Q:What color are Ben Wilder's eyes? A: Red. At least when he has a hankering for some fresh flesh. Oh wait, maybe I'm thinking of the wrong book. Blue. His eyes are blue.) So if you haven't read Generations yet, you're going to want to get cracking: you have one month to do it. Why would you want to read Generations?
Because:

• It's only 99 cents. What else can you buy for less than a dollar? Not even a pack of gum my friends!
• It's a sweet romance, but it's a quick read and you don't need to use a dictionary to understand, ala Jane Austen.
• After spending your 99 cents and giving up a few hours of your time, you could win dinner. Do the math: it's totally worth it.
• It's actually a kinda good book. You might like it. You might even really, really like it. 

I bet you want to know how much money I'm going to give you to eat at Applebee's. Well, that's totally up to you guys. The more people that enter the contest, the more money I'm willing to spend. We'll start at $10. But! If more than 15 people enter, the amount will bump up to $25. But! If more than 30 people enter, the amount jumps to $50. But! (Yes, I'm doing Kid History #3, thanks for noticing) If 55 people enter, I will give $75. But! If 80 people enter, (I know that many people won't enter, I just like giving my fingers a workout.) I will give away 100 completos! So if you want to win up to 100 hotdogs dollars, you need to tell every person you see to get a copy of Generations and get reading. It is back to school time so you should be setting a good example for the kiddos and by showing them how much you love to read.

Phew. Got it? Good. Because no way am I typing all that again.
