Newsletter Contest

My gift basket giveaway contest for subscribers to my email newsletter ended on June 30, 2007, mainly because the cost to mail the baskets was getting so high. So, I mulled over ideas on how to award prizes where most of the money I spent went directly to the prizewinner versus to packaging and mailing. The cheapest form of mailing is media mail, which means book prizes. So, my new email newsletter subscriber contest will award prizes of two books—an autographed copy of A REAL BASKET CASE and a book by another mystery author of my choice. And, there’s an interesting feature to these give-away copies of A REAL BASKET CASE that makes them a collector’s item!

Each time my email newsletter list adds another 100 subscribers, I will draw a random number from ALL the subscribers, so those of you who sign up early have more chances to win. Encourage all of your mystery-reading friends to join to increase your odds! I will contact the winner via email to get his/her mailing address and to ask for permission to list his/her name on my website and in my newsletter as a winner.
