Through the good offices of the folks at MELSA (and their friends at the wonderful Addendum Books), I spent the weekend in Minnesota, where I spoke to an audience about writing, the writing life, and — no lie — Joseph Campbell.

Extra-Special Addition to the I HUNT KILLERS Tour!
March 28, 2012 Leave a Comment
Three entrants at each event will win a cool "KILLER Time" t-shirt!
We’re adding a little something extra to some of the tour stops…
If you attend one of the events listed below, you will be entered into a raffle to win an exclusive “I Had a KILLER Time with Barry Lyga” t-shirt. Three winners will be chosen at each event and, yes, you’ll get the t-shirt right then and there.
But even if you don’t win a t-shirt, you’ll still be entered into a raffle for the Grand Prize: a brand-spanking new iPod touch!
(Now you know the truth: I am only doing this book tour to spread the Apple Gospel.)
Yes, you could win one just by showing up!
And is there a chance that some cool goodies will be pre-loaded onto that iPod touch? Why, I would say “Yes. Yes, there’s an excellent chance there will be some goodies pre-loaded on it!”
Here are the tour stops where you can enter the raffle for t-shirts and Apple-y goodness:
- Monday, April 2nd @ 7PM: Third Place Books (17171 Bothell Way NE, Lynnwood, WA 98155)
- Tuesday, April 3rd @ 7PM: Barnes & Noble (19401 Alderwood Mall Parkway, Lynnwood, WA 98036)

Come on out, have a good time, and win something!
