Kindle Voyager
I'm extending the time period to get an extra two entries.
I didn't realize how many people would choose to buy the paperback. Since it took almost a week to get the copy, I'm adding an extra week to get the review in to Amazon.
So, any reviews on the Amazon page by October 12th will get the two extra entries.
I've already mentioned I'm giving away a Kindle Voyager to some lucky reader/reviewer who buys my book and writes an Honest review on Amazon.com.
To recap: The first person to review gets five entries into the pool. Anyone who gets an entry in the first week, that's before Sunday, October 5th at Midnight Pacific time. And after that, anyone who gets a review in before October 31st at midnight will get one entry.
Sweetening the deal: I like my book. I edited it five times before sending it to Jen Hendricks, and editor, and edited it again after she sent it back. I think I've made the effort and taken the time to make it the best I can, so far.
I will give another giveaway entry to anyone who is first to find an error and post it as a comment to this post. Misspelled words, misused words, and contradictions of myself, and whatever else you can find that is a legitimate error, add it below and I will tell you if I think you are right and if you are first.
Thank you for helping me make Flypaper Boy a better book.

I want to bring some excitement to my book launch next week so I'm sweetening the deal.
I'll be giving away Trade Paperbacks of "Flypaper Boy: Coming of Age" through a contest on Goodreads.com and I will be giving away the brand new Kindle Voyager ebook reader.
Here's where you can find details about the reader. If you are making the leap into reading ebooks, this is the reader to get. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IOY8XWQ/ref=br_imp_ara-5?_encoding=UTF8&nav_sdd=aps&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=gateway-center-column&pf_rd_r=12A10K3JZQJDMZSFYNPE&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1924735102&pf_rd_i=507846#lost-in-story
Here's how my contest is going to work.
1) Buy Flypaper Boy: Coming of Age from the Kindle store at Amazon on September 29th. If you buy the paperback, the ebook is free until October 31st.
2) Read it.
3) Write an HONEST review on Amazon.com.
The first person to write a review will get five entries. Sorry family members and beta readers. It wouldn't be fair to let you have a head start.
But, if you're not first, don't despair. Anyone who gets an HONEST review posted in the first week, (by Sunday, October 5th at midnight pacific daylight time) will get three entries. After the first week reviews will get one drawing entry and I will accept entries until midnight, October 31st, 2014 pacific standard time.
I've already ordered the Voyager and because of demand it won't ship to me until November twenty something. But the winner should receive it shortly thereafter.
What is an HONEST review? I don't expect or want you to write a five star review just to try and win the reader. If you don't like the story, or superheroes aren't your thing, I expect you to say so in your review. II have to hear how you really feel to be able to get better at what I do or write something you do want to read.
If you haven't done so already, stop by my author site at www.facebook.com/AuthorPhilipCarroll and get the lowdown on launch day. Follow me there to get more regular updates as well as absurd observations about life.
Thanks for stopping by and keep checking back for news.
