Catnip by Valerie Tate Giveaway Winners

Although my giveaway wasn’t as popular as I would have liked, I still consider it a success.  Why?  Because the prizes were so generous that everyone who entered will end up with something.  I hate too much suspense, so let’s just cut to the chase.

Starlet’s Web & Starlet’s Run Giveaway Winner(s)

First off I would like to thank everyone who entered and publicized the giveaway I had with Carla Hanna for paperback copies of Starlet’s Web and Starlet’s Run.  Thank you for making this my most successful giveaway yet.

Secondly, I would like to give a HUGE thank you to Carla Hanna, both for sending me her great book(s) to review and for agreeing to go along with this giveaway.  (As a side note this giveaway was the first she’s ever done with a blogger.)  Her questions for you guys were amazing and brought up many thoughtful entries, but it’s her replies to those entries that really seemed special for me.  Carla took an active role in the giveaway, tirelessly promoting it and giving her best responses to your entries.  She really is an incredible woman.

I digress.  Here are the results of the giveaway:

All thirteen people that entered the giveaway will be receiving a prize pack consisting of print copies of Starlet’s Web and Starlet’s Run.

Carla had such a hard time picking out just one winner and she was so grateful for the thoughtful entries that, yes, she has decided to ship out a prize pack to every single person who entered as a thank you.  Not every author has the resources to do this, so I ask only one thing of the winners: that you leave an honest review of her books on whatever sites you want, whether it’s Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Goodreads or your own blog.

It doesn’t have to be a thousand words and it doesn’t even have to be positive.  But I would ask you all to show Carla some thanks by leaving a couple sentences or even paragraphs about her books.  After all, there are very, very few contests where everyone is a winner.  So please, make this one count.

Giveaway Winners

Well, my first official giveaway has now come to a close.  The winners have been chosen.  For category #1, you had to name your favourite historical figure and tell me why.  For category #2, you had to name your favourite book and tell me why.  Since I love history, I chose the winner in category #1.  So, drumroll please.

The winner is Erin for her comment about poor Lady Jane Grey:

My favorite historical figure is Lady Jane Grey.  I’ve always felt bad for the fact that she was unwillingly made to be queen and then betrayed and executed such a short time later.  Now I wish that she wasn’t always so overlooked by history.  Most people don’t know who she is, or that she was handpicked by Edward VI to be queen, and nobody ever seems to wonder why he might have done that.

Since Michelle Hansen is an author and she is the one offering up a prize pack, she picked the winner in category #2.

The winner is James Wymore for his comment about Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut.

Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut is my favorite book.  It was the one I read that made me want to write books that meant something to people.

Winners, I have given your email addresses to Michelle and she will contact you soon about your prize packs.  Congratulations on winning and thank you to everyone who entered and tweeted about my first giveaway.  There will be more giveaways in the future, I can promise you that.
