Holiday Book Contest

( Part II )

OK – I hear you.

In response to a number of e mails that pretty much said, “Hey, Ric –what are you using for brain cells, pal. As much as I’d like to enter the contest and win free books or bookplates, there’s no way, I’m gonna be able to find the time to squeeze in a read before Christmas!”

In fact an e mail that I received yesterday, suggested that I extend the contest through the end of the year.

Not a bad idea.

So, OK – consider it done. The contest will now extend through Jan. 1, 2008, giving you that week between Christmas and New Years after you’ve gotten bored with X-Box and the new flat panel HDTV to peruse a book or two. So one more time here’s the deal to win yourself a complete set of the McCarthy Mysteries plus an ultra cool advance reader copy (the kind that get sent to big shot book reviewers) for the next book in the series, The Scrimshaw, when it’s released next fall.

Once again thanks for all the entries and e mails and Good Luck!

************************

In the spirit of the upcoming holiday season and Christmas, I’d like to give some of my reader friends the gift of The McCarthy Family Mystery series.

I know that during this hectic season, it’s always a challenge to get everything done that’s on your list, so I thought I could perhaps help you out with at least one of them. In particular, what to get that reader on your list. And/or – what to read in that long line at the post office while you wait to dump your packages into Santa’s sleigh via the USPS.

The contest rules are simplicity itself. And best of all… everyone wins!

Just read all, some or even a review of; the latest McCarthy Mystery, Shadow of Innocence, then write a short review (between 1 sentence and 1 paragraph) and reply to me at MySpace or e mail it to me atb; ricmrp@comcast.net.com, and the best entry, will win a complete set of the first two books in the McCarthy mystery series; Acid Test and Shadow of Innocence! Plus the winner will also receive an ARC (advance review copy) of the next exciting book in the McCarthy series; The Scrimshaw - due for release next fall and have the review reprinted on our website and other review pages.

But… unlike most other contests, in this one – everyone wins!

Everyone who submits a review, will receive a signed and personally dedicated, book plate. And the bookplate can be inscribed to anyone you wish. You, a friend, relative, dog, cat, gerbil … anyone!

So start reading and writing and… good luck !

All the best,

Ric
