And the Winners Are …

Every single comment left on the blog tour between September 1 and my birthday, September 30, was placed in a random number generator–after I assigned numbers, of course–and the following winners popped out!

Cindy R. Wilson on Susan J. Reinhardt’s blog Yep, it’s the ladies with the middle initials who are feeling lucky 🙂

Rebecca Barlow on one of my blogs

Cherie Hill on The Mother Blog

Stamped with Grace on Being Gratefully Grounded

Georgiana Daniels on Sharon Ball’s A Break from the Norm

Sherrinda and Lynda Schab on Cathy Bryant’s WordVessel

Ernie Wenk on one of mine

CKHB and Beth on Jody Hedlund’s On the Path

Congrats to ALL on winning a complimentary copy of The Familiar Stranger!!

Can I win something?? It took me a depressing 1 1/2 hours to track down all the links and inform all the winners of their good fortune.

Oh, I know, what a wimpy thing to whine about. “Oh, look at me! I have so many winners that it takes me forever to find them all!”

    Congratulations! How fun!!! Sorry it took you so long, Christina. Not a bad problem to have, huh? I’ll trade you for one of mine…

    Oh, I’m sorry it took so long to find all of those names! I’m so excited to read your book, though–look at all the people who get a chance to lose themselves in your story. Yay! Thanks!

    Haahaa, your last line made me smile.
    Congrats to your winners! And I feel like one too since I just found out on Jaime’s blog that I won your book! Can I tell you how stoked I am to read it!!! Thank you. 🙂

    I’ll keep my current set of problems, thank you very much! At least I know what they are, and that’s more than half the battle, I’m sure. hehe

    Congrats, Jessica! I’m heading over to see if she included my explanation of why. 🙂

    I’m so glad, Susan!

    I won, I won, I won!!!! How exciting…. especially when I didn’t even realize that I had actually entered!

    Have to say the thought of “free” books bestowed by the author herself did for some reason bring visions of a dear writing friend of mine shoveling “gifted” books into every bag & suitcase in preparation for a flight home from her first ACFW conference ever!! =D

    Congrats ladies.
    Hope you all enjoy the book.

    God’s blessings

    Rebecca, that was SO funny. Hmm … could have been a glaring sign of my book addiction and I probably needed an intervention!

    Lady Araujo, I wish I could come to Brazil and meet you!
