High-Noon Showdown -- or: Throw-a-Fan-a-Bone-Day!

Howdy! I reckon you've come to join the high-noon showdown. The way I see it, the more the merrier when it comes to gunslingin'. Now before you get to scratchin' your itchy trigger finger, take a seat and hear me out. But -- for the love of Pete -- don't sit on that cactus.
     In anticipation of the March 27, 2012 paperback release of The Bone Yard,   Mr. Bones is giving away signed copies of the novel. To make this fun instead of dangerous, I'm suggesting that we all set aside our six-shooters and draw from a different sort of holster, the holster of memory.
     The rules of the showdown are simple. This is your chance to become the storyteller at the side of our virtual campfire. What do I mean? In the COMMENTS section of this blog entry, I want you to let loose and draw from your holster of memory. Tell us a story.
   
    Here are examples of what will qualify you as an entrant to the giveaway contest: 1.) Share your favorite book in the Body Farm series and explain why. 2.) Tell us about an encounter with Jefferson Bass, whether at a signing or somewhere else. 3.) Post a photo of yourself with Jefferson Bass, or of you holding a Body Farm novel, on our Facebook page so we can proudly display it. 4.) Get creative and surprise us: fan fiction, anyone? 5.) Tell us anything you'd want to tell us if we were standing before you in a dusty Wild West street at high noon. . . and you were down to your last bullet.
     Do we have an understanding? Don't forget to sign your comment with your name so that your name is entered into the contest! Then -- write an e-mail (with your name) to JeffersonBassBookGiveaway@hotmail.com to let us know that you should WIN!
      By sundown on Sunday (3/25/2012), the winner'll be the last one standing. Now: turn on your heel and walk fifteen paces. Ready? Set. . . Draw!
