And the winners are ...

We have a winner in the Love Your Library book giveaway. Actually we have two winners. I received an encouraging email yesterday from a television producer, who has read my book. She said it was a wonderful story and requested my phone number so she could call and talk with me. I am excited and honestly in a state of shock still that she would even consider my book for a television movie. Realizing that this doesn't guarantee anything, that the phone call could be a very polite 'no thanks', I am trying to keep it all in perspective. My kids are kind enough to help me with that. If you want a glimpse into how they helped stop by my writing blog for the story.

Ok, so back to the contest. I said two winners because in the spirit of my potential good news I decided to pick two winners. One from the entries here and one from the direct emails that I have received in response to the contest. The winners were chosen randomly by my children. So if anyone is unhappy with the results, it's completely their fault ; )



Have I created enough tension, enough anticipation, or have you already scanned this post to see who won? If not, thanks for being the patient reader. If you did skip ahead, I don't blame you, even I am anxious to announce the winners.



Here goes...drum roll please....



1st winner chosen from the direct emails sent to me is....



!!!! ROBYN from Arizona !!!!



and her favorite library the Peoria Public Library.





2nd winner chosen from these comments is.....



!!!! klclthouse3 from Michigan !!!!

Congratulations to the winners! I will be sending each a signed copy of The Truth Lies in the Dark and each of their favorite libraries will receive a copy donated in their names.



I am sorry that I can not have all of you win, but I can offer you a little something for entering. My publisher has agreed to offer a discount to all who have entered this contest.
