My husband, Duke,  (not “The Duke” above) gave me a brilliant idea.

It’s called, “The Gutsy Book Traveling Contest,”  inspired by the “Roaming Gnome,”  and “Where in the World is the Saddleback Valley News?”

Photos will be judged according to:

  • Originality
  • Unique location
  • Unique landmark
  • Unique photo

We are giving the winner a $50.00 Amazon gift certificate + promoting all those who send in their photos. Details below.

You have until December 31st, 2013, to send your photos. If we receive many photos, we shall see about extending to a 2nd contest.

Please check back as we’re hoping to get sponsors. Please check the guidelines below.

I’m standing in front of the famous cafe in Paris where Hemingway used to write.

(I admit, we did cheat a little. Since I was not holding my book in Paris, we photoshopped it to get this post ready. Same applies to me in front of the John Wayne statue, although I did visit both locations.)

You may remember the “Share one sentence and one photo about you,” well this time I’d like to ask you to take a photo of you holding either:

both “Gutsy” travel books, in front of a well-known landmark in your town/city/country.

I shall post your photos:

  • on my site
  • on social media
  • on Patch.com
  • any media coverage I can get

all I need is:

  • your name
  • date the photo was taken
  • landmark
  • city, state, country

Here are some photos from author friends who have stories published in the first My Gutsy Story® Anthology.
