The Tucson Festival of Books is now in the books, and we had a great time! We had a good opportunity to connect with a new audience in Arizona, and judging by all the great comments we got on our books, we'll be soon seeing more readers coming over to DCP.

The order of business here, though, is winners! We had two concurrent giveaways take place this weekend: one was the conclusion of the Goodreads giveaway on Denny Youngblood's An Angel Box. Congratulations go out to the following winners, each of whom will receive a signed copy of the novel:

Richard Gill, Ellwood City, Pennsylvania
Heather Briggs, Imboden, Arkansas
Anna Watson, Geneseo, New York
Bhahirat Adamou, London, England
Jody Crone, Hot Springs, Arkansas

In addition to these winners, seven more names were drawn from tickets dropped at the Tucson Festival of Books. Congratulations go out to the following lucky winners, all from Tucson, who will receive a signed copy of one of DCP's offerings:

Stacy Escondido -- An Unlikely Arrangement
Mackenzie Kurth -- Scent of Double Deception
Lauren Castro -- Sin, Secrets, and Salvation
Frances Almstrom -- An Angel Box
Molly Burruel -- The Advance Guard
David J. Warren -- Dinetah Dragon
Kristy Stewart -- The Insurgent's Journal

Congratulations to all of our winners, and keep an ear to the ground for the next DCP giveaway. Check Goodreads!

A lot of activity is coming up on the horizon for DCP and our books!

First off, if you've noticed around the site, we've got two giveaways going right now! And one of them ends fairly soon, so if you want a chance to win you'd better get your entry in!

Thus far, 668 Goodreads users have entered DCP's Angel Box giveaway for one of five signed copies of An Angel Box by Denny Youngblood. Hurry up and get your entry in on this one, because it closes for entries March 9th, and the winners will be drawn on the 10th!

Also thus far, 242 Goodreads users have entered our other drawing, hoping to win one of five signed copies of The Insurgent's Journal by Don A. Martinez. You've got a little longer on this giveaway to enter, but not by much: your last day to enter is March 22nd, and on the 23rd we draw!

As a reminder, ongoing here at DCP is the CosPlay Challenge. Dress up as a Phantom Squadron character, take a picture, and post it somewhere for your chance to win the complete Phantom Squadron series signed by the author and your choice of merchandise from the DCP Zazzle store. (See earlier blogs for contest details)

This weekend (March 10th-11th), DCP will be in the sunny city of Tucson, Arizona for the Tucson Festival of Books on the University of Arizona campus. Author Don A. Martinez will be there for the entire weekend, signing and selling books and getting to know a little bit more about the readers. There will also be a giveaway drawing at the TFOB: seven winners chosen at random will receive a signed copy of a DCP title, also chosen at random!

In addition, we will be taking pre-orders on DCP's eighth (!!!) offering, Jeannie Faulkner Barber's latest novel Taste of Fire. Pre-paid pre-orders will be shipped the day the book goes public, so come out to Tucson this weekend for your shot at reserving a great new read.

Lots and lots of activity here. Thanks for keeping up!

It started at midnight.  It's going on as we speak.

Desert Coyote Productions is offering a giveaway for one of five signed copies of the latest Phantom Squadron novel, The Insurgent's Journal.  Get yourself over to Goodreads right now to enter!

In addition, to celebrate the newest entry to the series, now until February 29th all e-book purchases of Phantom Squadron titles through Kindle and Nook are only $0.99 apiece.  Get the entire series ... The Advance Guard, Dinétah Dragon, and The Insurgent's Journal ... for the low, low price of $2.97!

Also keep in mind, there's two other DCP contests going on as we speak ...

As of 2:45pm CST, there are 439 entries in our Angel Box giveaway.  Five lucky winners there will receive their own copy of the book personalized and signed by author Denny Youngblood.

In addition, the DCP Phantom Squadron CosPlay Challenge, announced this week, continues through the end of the year.  Check the previous blog post for the details: one lucky cosplayer will win signed copies of the entire Phantom Squadron series PLUS a selection of their choice from the DCP Zazzle store.

It's an exciting time around DCP HQ!

Well, the weekend came and went, and DCP made its first appearance at a festival with the Texas Book Festival in Austin.  (I would have made this post sooner, but I had further business in Austin and just came back last night!)

I'd like to offer my sincere thanks to everyone who stopped by our shared book with White Bird Publications.  Also those who took some of our giveaways (flyers, business cards, bookmarks), and those who entered into our drawing.  After the close of the Festival on Sunday we drew the winners: one winner each will receive a copy of one of our books (The Advance Guard, Dinétah Dragon, An Unlikely Arrangement, or Scent of Double Deception).  Keep an eye out in your e-mail or your phone if you entered!

If you aren't one of the lucky four winners, you still have a chance.  Right now on Goodreads, you have five days left to enter a drawing for one of six signed copies of Scent of Double Deception!  Enter now through the widgets all around the website.

Also, keep a lookout for some special pricing deals forthcoming.  DCP will be doing its own Black Friday sale: watch here for more details.

SPECIAL SHOUT-OUT: While at the festival, we had the privilege of having a number of folks stop by inquiring about having us publish their books.  We also had one person who was promoting their own e-book, who we all took a liking to.  Author H. E. Hinze, very mature for a 17-year-old, was doing her first Book Fair as well, circulating through the crowd to pass out brochures.  We took some, and I'm happy to report that when I came back I found Ms. Hinze is now a DCP Twitter follower!  So check out her e-book No Angels, a YA paranormal fantasy novel, which is available on Kindle (and soon, from what she told us, in paperback as well), and also the No Angels blog.  Thanks for stopping by and seeing us in Austin!

There's only thirteen hours left to get in on the biggest giveaway in DCP history.

That's right, you heard me.  Patty Wiseman's An Unlikely Arrangement is up for a giveaway this month.  You have only 13 hours left to enter at goodreads.com for a chance to win one of five autographed copies of the book.  Don't miss your chance to get in on this!

As of 12:30pm CDT, Patty's book has had 1423 goodreads.com users enter for a chance to win!  That shatters by a great deal the previous record by a DCP book, Dinétah Dragon's 955 entrants.

Keep an eye here for further updates, including the next big DCP giveaway for copies of Scent of Double Deception, autographed by author Jeannie Faulkner Barber.
