MORMON MISHAPS AND A 3-FER CONTEST

In previous posts, I've mentioned the release of MORMON MISHAPS AND MISCHIEF by authors D.N. Giles and C.L. Beck because Giles and Beck are my friends, because MISHAPS is such a unique book, and because one of my own, true stories, "No More Baby Steps," is included inside. However, this time I am taking part in their blog tour and now have the privilege of telling you just how GREAT MISHAPS really is.

First, the cover is perfect. Each, laughing, smiling face is so contagious I can't help but giggle whenever I see it. I don't think I've ever had a book's cover affect me that way.

Second, while the stories range from sweetly humorous to down right hilarious, all are unforgettable. Some stories were so funny I laughed out loud when I read them, and I still can't help but chuckle when I think about them--or share them with someone else.

Finally, MORMON MISHAPS AND MISCHIEF is proof positive that we as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints--the human race even--shouldn't take ourselves too seriously. Mishaps and mischief are everywhere, and Giles and Beck have captured them. Why not get a copy to share with those you love this year? One of the stories just might be the perfect attention getter for your next speaking assignment.

THE 3-FER MISHAPS CONTEST!
Continue reading to learn how to win one of three prizes.

The Prizes:
1. A $20 gift certificate to Barnes and Noble, hosted by D.N. Giles and C.L. Beck --valid for the entire blog tour (see below).

2. An autographed copy of Mormon Mishaps and Mischief, hosted by myself--valid for my blog only.

3. My own, "Mishapped" copy of my novel, MISSING. After attending an author signing event a few months ago, I discovered the cover of one of my brand new books had shifted wrong in the box and bent in half. So, my loss is your gain!--valid for my blog only.

The Dates:
This contest runs from now until Friday, February 19th, 2010. The winners will be announced on Monday, February 22, 2010.
