The Great Adventure

It’s a gorgeous day in north Texas, and we have a winner on the first day of the Infinity’s Reach Escape Clause Contest. Monica Espinar wins a first edition, autographed copy of Infinity’s Reach, which is scheduled to come out April 1. Monica emailed me her photo in her office, and writes that “My boss and colleagues were making jokes about escaping from Electrolux.”

I will be announcing a winner each day this week and next until the official launch. If you want to participate and get a free book, here are the rules:

1. You have to make a sign. The sign should read: “I CAN HELP YOU ESCAPE.”

2. You have to take a photo or video of you holding up said sign in a public place. An example of that is below, which is from the cover of my short story collection, available free on Smashwords.

3. Post the image of you holding the sign on your Facebook page. Send me a link to that page. If you can’t get that to work, then just send me the image in jpg form. In the case of a video, post it on YouTube or a comparable site and send me the link. Send it to this blog or to my direct email address: robinson@swau.edu.

4. I will be announcing it for the next two weeks, showing examples and will be accepting submissions, but the actual contest starts Monday, March 18. I will pick a winner each day thereafter (Monday through Friday) until April 1. Winners will need to provide mailing addresses where I can send the book. If you would rather receive an e-book version (Kindle or otherwise), I can do that too. But all prizes will be sent after April 1.

5. You can enter as many times as you want, but only one prize per person. Images with more than one person will still receive only one prize.

6. Winners will be announced here daily as well as on the Facebook Infinity’s Reach fan page. I will also post the winning photos in both places.
