Thank you to everyone who put in a guess on my question last week to win a copy of my book! Congratulations to Molly and Alfie who were spot on with 120 photos! I guess they will be the first ones in my home land, the UK, to receive my book, how exciting! This week the game shows were missing but Will and Eko, and Jackie Bouchard had different secret formulas and both came up with 44, which, sorry, was incorrect.
Today I have a little video preview that my good friend Sugar the Golden Retriever put together for me! Sugar and her mom make the best videos, they are amazing! Take a look for a fun short preview of my book.
Tales of a French Scent Hound from My GBGV Life on Vimeo.
One more fact about my book. Being as my stories are called tales, there are no chapters. I elected to rename the chapters tales. So you have tale one, tale two…
As promised I am giving away a copy of my book each Thursday until it is released. This week the question is: How many tales are in my book? I will give you a hint as always – the answer is between 1-100. Good luck and happy guessing!
Rules and Eligibility:
- Only one guess per week per person/animal.
- A person/animal may only win one book over the course of the next four weeks, everyone should have a fair chance. If you have already one, you can guess, but you can’t win a second book.
- The contest is open to any person/animal living on the planet earth – I know I have fans all over the world and I will ship to anywhere, but if you are outside of the USA, shipping may take a bit longer.
- Anyone who has worked with me on my book is ineligible as you may have insider information creating an unfair advantage for yourself, and I have something special planned for my helpers anyway.
- All entries for the contest this week must be received by Saturday, September 7th at midnight central time.
- Winner will be announced in my Monday blog post on September 9th.
- Winner will have 24 hours to email me with their shipping information or I will move on to the second place finisher. My email address can be found in the “Meet Emma” section of my website.
Loved the video Emma and I put Alfie in the dryer too..Bawahwhahhwa we are so excited as you already know WOOHOOOOOOO xx0xx
Mollie and Alfie
I have to work on my pawtographing skills next 🙂 Then I can ship off some books!
Golden Exciting, Emma. Golden Happy to help and create your video. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Mom and I are so happy to know you and your mom. You are so nice and also so helpful to us 🙂
Really? You have a book too? Wow! I am impressed!
Sure do, official release on Sept. 19.
I got my book yesterday from amazon. I ripped open the envelop and sat down ans started reading. The next thing I realized is thatbibwas late for dinner and I was on page 84. I just love it. It s the sweetest story that every child should have under their holiday tree. It is the modern Stuart Little. Can’t wait to finish it and then I can read it to Katie. As soon as I am done I will write a review on amazon. My new fav book for all ages!
Thank you so much! Mom started reading the proof copy and got to page 23 before remembering she was supposed to be proofing it. I think it is really a book for people of all ages that like dogs and pets 🙂
Is Emma doing any book signings in New Yok?
Got any connections to the Today Show??? If we could be on TV, we would get to NYC and do some pawtographing 🙂
Hmm, I know you have lots of adventures Emma, so I’m going to say you have 76 tales.
I have that noted 🙂
Fabulous Emma and well done to Sugar. Have a tremendous Thursday.
Best wishes Molly
Thank you! Sugar makes such great videos.
Well, we really want a book. So we will guess…..48 tales.
Thank you, I have your guess entered 🙂
40 tales
Got it.
28 tales.
Noted.
We used a secret formula that has never won anything and came up with 39
I have noted your guess 🙂
Another strategy out the window. No strategy this week, just guessing 63
Got it…thought you would have something super complicated this week 😉
I am guessing 49 tales. I like the tales idea instead of chapters. Great video, it is going to make everyone want this book!
Mom and I sure hope so, we think it is a super fun book for everyone that loves dogs and pets, from kids to adults.
Congrats – how exciting for you!! 🙂
60 tales. And how come some people already have the book? Are you playing favorites?
No, my mom is a huge planner, so she has everything ready to go early in case we hit any snags, and we needed to get some copies for various release ideas we have planned, so it is out, but not officially until the 19th. I was waiting for someone to ask, you are the first, thank you!
Hmmm…We’re going to guess 19 tales for being released on the 19th!
Interesting theory…I have that noted.
Hmmmm, I am not too good at guessing I guess, but that video was way cool!
Sugar makes amazing videos!
Love your video trailer Emma! I’m going to guess and even 30 tails. Er, tales. 🙂
That English stuff can be confusing 😉
Great video! Cute idea using tales. 🙂 I will guess 72 tales.
Thank you! Guess is noted.
Darn re: my special formula for the photos not working! I should have known, Emma, that since you are so gosh darn photogenic you would have 3 times the number I guessed! Trying some fancy math again and have come up with a guess of 33 stories.
(I did the same – trying to be on top of things and the print version of my book went up WAY early. Not really promoting it until the “official” day though, which is 9/16 for me! Good luck with the book. The vid is adorable and I’m sure the book will be too!)
Timing is a hard thing and being the first time there are so many unknowns, but better too early than too late! I have your guess noted!
OMD! Sugar’s video for you is super-adorable! As for my guess, I am going to say 11 tales!
Thank you, Sugar did a pawsome job!
15 tales
Got it!
This is sure an exciting time! Sugar did a fine job with your video! I’m guessing you may have 50 tales to go with your one tail!
50 is noted. Sugar’s videos are awesome!
Congratulations! I’m so excited for you!!
That’s a great video! I can’t wait to see the book. 🙂
Thank you! I think you will love the book. I am biased but those that have read it for me have all loved it so far.
Dagwoofit, my first guess was 60, then 40.. but both have already been guessed. Those had math behind them. I’ll just toss out a random non-mathematical 45, then.
Good choice getting Sugar to do the video… she makes the cutest videos.
So excited for you!!
Thanks! Sugar does have the best videos! I will put down your 45, I guess since I narrowed it down to between 1 and 100 the numbers are going fast!
Love that video, Emma! Hmmm… I’ll guess 27 tales 🙂
Isn’t it awesome! We are so lucky to have such wonderful blogging friends that help each other out!
