IT'S TIME FOR THE CATCH A PRIZE CONTEST!




All right, boys and girls! Here is the contest you have all been waiting for! To help celebrate the release of my debut picture book, THE STORY CATCHER, by Anaiah Press yesterday, I'm going to have a contest where a number of prizes will be given away.

First...the rules:

1. Select a way to 'follow me' by either signing up for my blog posts by entering your email address in the subscribe link on the top right side of this screen, liking my Facebook Author page at www.facebook.com/donasdays, or joining me on Twitter @donasdays.

2. Leave a comment on this post telling me which prize you would like your name to be entered in the drawing for.

3. Sharing the good news of this contest with your friends and followers is always welcome!

The contest will run from today until 12:59 p.m. on Saturday, January 31st. There will be two more ways to enter my CATCH A PRIZE contest that I will reveal on Wednesday, January 22nd, and Saturday, January 24th so be sure and come back for those reveals!

Now for the good stuff...the prizes:




The first prize I'm giving away is a cool butterfly sticker album with with 50 butterfly stickers. The logo for THE STORY CATCHER is butterflies so I thought these would be cool to decorate with!




Next is a large butterfly journal for storing great story ideas you've caught. It's about 5 1/2" by 7 1/2" and the cover says 'Let Your Dreams Take Flight'.


Here is a cute book I found at the bookstore entitled THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF IMMATURITY: HOW TO NEVER GROW UP. It's full of really cool things to do and if you are a kid or write for kids, this would be a great reference book!

 


There will be three winners of these beautiful hand crafted butterfly wall hangings. They are lightweight, are probably about 8"-10" across, and delicate. If I had the room on my walls to hang them, I would keep them for myself...lol...

 


 I'm also going to be giving away a signed copy of my picture book to one lucky winner! 


You can order my book, THE STORY CATCHER, through the following buy links. It is available in both ebook and print copies. Here is the book blurb and book trailer.

Blurb:

Addie comes from a long line of readers, or "story catchers," as her family likes to call themselves. Every time Addie tries to catch a story on her own, though, the words play tricks on her. Addie tries everything she can think of to corral those wiggly letters, but it will take a little faith to become the next STORY CATCHER.

    Donna, if I pretend I am NOT your sister, may I enter the drawings? What do you mean I can't? Well, fine, then I will just go pout while I read your book and your other stories. I am so proud of you.
