Welcome to Thursday Doors! This is a weekly challenge for people who love doors and architecture to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos, drawings, or other images or stories from around the world. If you’d like to join us, simply create your own Thursday Doors post each (or any) week and then share a link to your post in the comments below, anytime between 12:01 am Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American eastern time). If you like, you can add our badge to your post.

As you may know, this is a very special week for Thursday Doors. I have teamed up with Cee and her Fun Fotos Challenge (Places People Live) so please welcome those entries to our challenge AND please link your Thursday Doors post to Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge. To better accommodate Cee’s participants, we will be accepting doors until midnight on Monday. Posts linked by noon Saturday will appear in this week’s Sunday Recap. Posts linked between Saturday and Monday will be added to next week’s recap.
Since it’s a special day, I decided to feature some special doors. And, if you know something about these doors, you have a chance to win one of my books. Of course, if you know something about these doors, you may already own one of my books. Don’t worry, there’s an opportunity for everyone to win (as long as you consider one of my books to be a prize).
If you’re interested in playing, there’s a form for you to complete. There are four questions and there will be one winner, selected at random, from the correct answers to each question. The prize will be a Kindle copy of the book you choose. If you already own all three books—thank you very much—you can select as your preferred prize a copy of what is likely to be the last book in this series (which will be released September-ish). For those of you in countries outside the US, you will receive an Amazon gift certificate to cover the cost of the book you choose.
Note: I’m asking for a leap of faith on that last bit. Amazon customer service says I can buy you a gift certificate by logging into your Amazon marketplace. If that works, that’s how we’ll proceed. Of course, you’re on your honor to use the gift certificate to buy my book. As far as I can tell, there is no way for me to actually gift you a copy of a Kindle book. If the gift certificate process doesn’t work like they say it does—sorry.
Whether you choose to play or not, I hope you enjoy the doors in the gallery. Some are actual doors. Some have been modified to be included in one of the book trailers. All are (or are based on) my own photos.
I also hope you will take a few minutes to look at the doors of other participants, and I invite you back on Sunday for the recap.

All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
