Happy New Years, everyone! To help celebrate 2008, I want to share with my Gather friends a new contest I am running for my book where the winner will have a character in my new novel named after him/her. The winner will also have a signed book mailed to them when it is out.

For more information on entering the contest and for the details, I invite you to visit my website's contest page.

While there, take a look around and read up on my current book, The Samson Effect. It will make a wonderful gift for friends, loved ones, employees, or clients. And you can order your copies today and have the books signed with a message personalized to them.

Good luck to all who enter the contest.

I watched your book trailer earlier today. It looks like something that would be right up my alley. I've seen several trailers on Gather just recently, and it's a neat digital alternative to the old dust cover blurb!

Thanks for sharing - I'm going out to check out your web site now!

This is something really big, i have always said I wanted to write a child book and dedicate it to my 10 Grandsons, so I have left something to them besides the normal pics, household items, wow I need to find out more............ This would mean the world to me, good luck all, I wish you all the best of luck, thank you Tony, for this great contest, being a great writer.

Hey Dee Dee, Thanks for the great comments. About the message you received when you tried to sign up, I will check into it. Can you please send me the name you signed up with and your e-mail address via a private message? (to protect your privacy).

I just switched to an automated newsletter service. Until a week ago, I was maintaining my newsletter list manually but it has become to difficult to keep up with. (a very nice problem to have).

Thanks for reporting this. I will let you know what I find out.

Best wishes to you.

I love a good mystery-Elmore, McBain & Patterson fan. Had a real busy week, & am playing catch-up, but I did register. I will read, promise! By the way, are you related to Todd???

Thanks for the kind comments, all. I lover Patterson, haven't read Elmore or McBain yet, and no relations to Todd (the Todd you are thinking of, Mari ;) )
