Two Contests: One for Me, One for You!

Happy September, everyone!  It's going to be a busy month for yours truly ... can you believe that the release of In The Cards is just 12 days away?!   I got my  proof copy in the mail last night... there's nothing as exciting as holding the fruit of a couple years' labor in your hands at last!   

Also, in equally exciting news, I've been nominated for the Summer Indie Book Awards, hosted by Metamorph Publishing!  Right now, From The Desk of Buster Heywood is in 5th place in the Thriller category ... and less than a dozen votes separate me from third place!  People can cast votes daily, up until September 11th ... that's 4 votes apiece for those who feel kind enough to start voting for me, today!  Please help me bridge the gap! The voting page is HERE.

There are still two giveaways underway for the book launch on the 18th: one for those who sign up for my mailing list, and another for those who Like my Facebook page!  But since good things always come in threes, I'm adding one more opportunity to win something to the pile!  If you follow me on Instagram between now and release day, you'll be entered into a raffle to win an original piece of art, featuring the main characters of In The Cards!  (If you already follow me there, don't worry, you get an opportunity to enter, too!)  Here are the rules:

• New Follower = 1 raffle entry
• Liking the post of the artwork itself = 1 raffle entry
• Commenting on the art post = 1 raffle entry (It must be a coherent comment - no gibberish!)
• If you message me with a link proving you've shared the post on Twitter, Facebook, or other social media, you'll also get one entry for each separate link!  So you've got plenty of chances to win.

The winner will be contacted via private message on Instagram, and the print will be shipped to you, mounted on mat-board for framing!  The artwork is Prismacolor marker on 9x12" Bristol, and took me a good 8 hours or so from start to finish ... a lot of love and care went into it, and I hope that the winner will give it a good home.

I'll see you all back here next week, when I'll share the journey that In The Cards took from my mind to the page!  I hope you all have a fantastic time until then!
