November 17, 2010
As the blog world continues to evolve and change underneath my feet, I’m doing my best to adapt and grow and change with it. It’s not always easy — after all, when I first started blogging, posting fiction was a rarity. Now there are multiple prompts and Twitter hashtags devoted to it.
Many of you guys have stuck with me from the first. With your support, I’ve been able to put out three books, with more on the way.
And now it’s time for me to give back.
As part of the Gratitude Giveaway over at I am a Reader, Not a Writer, I’m offering one print copy of each of my books: The Demo Tapes: Year 1, The Demo Tapes: Year 2, and Trevor’s Song. Each book will be autographed to the winner (or whoever the winner specifies).
I’m going to have to limit my shipping to the US and Canada only; right now, at least half my reported royalties until the end of the year are headed to charity. That means I’m only recouping half of what I’m spending!
Entry is easy. Tell me which book you want to be entered to win. Join the Google Followers (this is really important, as there are some future events that say I have to have x-number of followers before I’ll be allowed to join in!). And sit back and wait for me to announce the winners on November 29.
And if you’re an International friend and are willing to read an e-book and post a review online, let me know. I’ll hook you up with a coupon code for a freebie of any of my books at Smashwords (heck, any of you who’re willing to read an e-book and post a review can ask for this, in addition to winning an autographed print copy for your shelves!)
Go visit more of the 180 or so blogs joining in. See what else they are giving away. Have some fun, meet some new folk.
And remember, if you want to support me AND a charity all at once, at least 50% of my reported royalties between now and the end of the calendar year are headed to help kids make music. If you make a direct donation to the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, you will be entered to win some pretty nice books.

What a great giveaway! I’d love to win Trevor’s Song since I have the other two books already and really enjoyed them! I’m already a follower too.

I can certainly relate to trying to get used to the blog world constantly changing and evolving under your feet. I can’t keep up, and I feel like I’ve fallen off the face of the blogosphere. It’s frightening because I used to be so excited about writing and posting. Maybe I will do this hop just to meet some new folks!
I personally can’t wait to get Trevor’s song, since I loved The Demo Tapes 🙂
