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 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:
My Gutsy Story® Anthology: True Stories of Love, Courage and Adventure From Around the World
or
Freeways to Flip-Flops: A Family’s Year of Gutsy Living on a Tropical Island
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.
Madeline’s story is on page 110 of the Anthology, and the title is, “Working and Writing Helped Me Heal.” Please check out her website. Also I interviewed Madeline Sharples about her book here.
Tom’s story is, “The 11th Commandment: Thou Shalt Listen to Thy Wife.” Please check out his website.
Kathleen Pooler’s story is titled, “Choices and Chances.” Please visit her website.
PLEASE MAKE THIS A SUCCESS AND START SENDING US YOUR PHOTOS TO:
“The Gutsy Book Traveling Contest”
Send your photos (.jpg format) to sonia@soniamarsh.com, with “The Gutsy Book Traveling Contest,” in the subject line.
THE MORE PHOTOS we receive, THE EASIER it will be to get SPONSORS.

I would like reading this kind of books, and putting them in the Hobby of our Condominiums and so doing that more Travelers will interest on writing and reading more books as these.
