Here it is, the final question! I’m hoping you’ve been trying for a copy of Butt Pirates In Space all along, but just in case someone got the correct answer before you did, here’s your last chance. Also, if by some odd chance you’re just now tuning in, have a look at My Rules so you’ll know how things work.

Allow me to say it’s been a pleasure and I hope all the winners will enjoy their copy. If you do, please drop us a line, let us know and maybe even leave a review on your favorite book buying site. And if you didn’t happen to win, there’s always next year. But, you know, make sure you still buy a copy of this one before you go on to the next.

It seems like we’ve been doing this for weeks! Uh, well, actually, we have. And we only have two books left to give away. So before you skip to the bottom below,  please have a look at My Rules.

I honestly thought the last question we had would completely baffle everybody and what happened? The first person who answered got it correct. Right, so, back to the drawing board.

I know, I know. The suspense is killing you, right? You WANT one of the last three autographed copies (by four of the five authors) of Butt Pirates In Space I have left, especially since you can then turn around and sell it on Ebay for thousands of pennies! Before you get that itchy trivia question typing finger out, please have a look at My Rules.

Am going to warn you, too, that this question isn’t exactly an easy one. You may, just may (and this is only a suggestion), have to e-mail, IM or text one of the authors of the anthology to help you answer the question. I wouldn’t suggest asking me. I’ll give you the wrong one just because I’m a nice guy.

It’s Friday! And while some of us are getting new carpet installed, some of you aren’t. But we’re all waiting for today’s trivia question, right? Including today, there are only 4 more copies available for you to win! So in case you’re just joining us or you need a refresher, please check out My Rules.

Plus, since today is the last day of the workweek, why make you work too much harder? I’m once again giving you a 20% chance of being right just by guessing. Why? Because that’s the kind of guy I am.

It’s Hump Day! Can you think of a better day to feature our 5th Butt Pirates In Space giveaway? You know…Hump Day? Butt Pirates? Are you seeing what I did there? If not, it’s okay. Subtlety is one of my many middle names. Now, before you get to the trivia question below, please be sure to check out My Rules.

The odds are considerably easier for this particular question since you have a 20% chance of being right just by guessing. See? Easier.

If you’re just tuning in to our Butt Pirates in Space giveaway, then please be sure to check out My Rules.

Okay, Friday’s question was too easy since the second person nailed it. That’s actually not a decent way of judging it, though. Let’s say that the correct answer was arrived at in half the time it took for the others. But that was then and this is now. Let’s see how well you do with a question geared for a Monday.

Need a reminder how this works? Here you go. Check out My Rules.

So, this is exciting! We’ve had two winners so far and they’ve won by mastering their powers of observation and technology. Well, one e-mailed one of the other authors and the other blew up a picture from a Facebook photo album. They did it! Since it’s Friday and since the previous questions were a little difficult, I thought I’d give you a slightly easier one for today.

Now let’s get to the third trivia question.

One of the perks of writing humor is when you’re taken by surprise due to something funny happening in real life. I mentioned in My Rules for the giveaway that one of the ways to find out the answer to a trivia question might be to contact the other authors in the anthology and ask them. Only one person did and it totally caught me off guard…which I find funny. I’m sure he did, too…laughing all the way to the mailbox when his copy arrives.

So let’s get to the second trivia question.
(more…)

I know, I know. Exciting, right?

I’m going to warn you right now that this first question came from a discussion at OutlantaCon with all the authors from the anthology who attended. We thought it would be a fun way of doing something that couldn’t be looked up on the internet. And unless you know this author who’s the subject of our first trivia question, you’re probably going to have to guess. Or contact her. Or ask one of the other authors from the antho who were part of the discussion. Please just don’t ask me. That’s not fair and as Patricia Logan will tell you, I fib. Well, she said I lie, but really I fib. Honest.

It occurred to me this morning that I still haven’t really written anything down yet about my thoughts on how I’m going to give away 9 signed copies of the Butt Pirates In Space anthology. The plan is to have three trivia questions released each week for 3 weeks and they aren’t all easy ones, folks. You may have to do a little digging and you may have to contact the people they’re about for the answer, or you can just guess. But, if you’re the first one to answer it correctly, I’ll send a copy to you!
