The Owen Fiddler Experience Christmas Cyber Tour 2008
Welcome to the official information page for the Owen Fiddler Christmas Cyber Tour 2008 (OFECCT08). We have a fabulous line-up of great blogs and hosts that promise to make this tour a most memorable and enjoyable experience for all. Please peruse the dates, hosts and blogs info and the tour stop formats and mark your calendars - you won't want to miss a single stop. Every stop is different, with unique twists and flavors so you will never get bored on this tour.

There are prizes and giveaways also. Check this out. The first three people who purchase a paperback copy of Owen Fiddler during the tour and who email me (marvwilson2010@gmail.com) with a copy of their proof of purchase invoice from either www.amazon.com or www.cambridgebooks.us will receive a FREE signed copy of my first book, I Romanced the Stone (Memoirs of a Recovering Hippie).

A
free copy of Owen Fiddler will also be given to someone who leaves a comment on all 14 stops on the tour. If there is a draw between two or more, a competition for the winner will be held on FREE SPIRIT BLOG (http://inspiritandtruths.blogspot.com/) with the first place prize going to the commenter who posts the best answer to the question, "Why I want to read Owen Fiddler." Any runner-ups will get an ebook copy of Owen. More fun. (smile)

Additionally, if anyone can, during the tour, purchase a copy of Owen Fiddler, pay for rush delivery, read it and post a review on Amazon before the tour ends, that person will receive a $25 gift certificate to either Borders or Barnse & Nobles bookstores, his or her choice. If more than one person can accomplish this, 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive $15 gift certificates.


But wait - I'm not done. Free Spirit Blog will still have a quality post each day during the tour. Yes, the old silly is going to be working his tush off for the whole two weeks. I'll be hanging around the host's blog to answer questions and chat with readers all day and into the evening, also writing a post per day for Free Spirit, and also keeping up my usual work as an author with works in progress and a couple books I am editing for other authors. So I have a special award for anyone who can leave comments on all 14 days of the tour at both the host's blog as well as Free Spirit. Hey - I'm gonna want some company over there too, y'all. (smile) Of those who can accomplish this, there will be a drawing, and I will give away up to three copies to three lucky people of the soon to be released Free Spirit Anthology, titled Between the Storm and the Rainbow. You'll have to wait probably a couple months, but I'll get them to you as soon as it is published.

Pretty cool, eh? All the fun begins on December 4th, with a pre-launch event at Diary of an Eccentric Blog where Anna Horner will be posting her review of Owen Fiddler.

See you all on the tour!
