And the winner is???
September 10, 2007 by janicemaynard
This is the cover of my July 2008 book! I am so happy with it - I hope readers like it, too!
If you’re keeping up with the blog entries, you’ll remember that I promised to annouce the winner of my “48 book” prize today! Several interesting observations from my end…
First of all - there were entries from all over the U.S., and many of them were brand new names to me! Which is kind of cool, ’cause that means we have some “scamps” we didn’t even know about!
Lurking is fine, ladies… I do it myself when I am very busy. But don’t be shy - post with us occasionally so we can get to know you! It’s always fun to “see” a new face among us!
Secondly, most of you were very kind to give me your e-mail address, and I appreciate it! I would love to send you the occasional newsletter, but I never add anyone’s name to my list without permission. I only send about one newsletter per quarter, so I promise I won’t clutter up your mailbox. But it you would like to hear from me now and then, please go to my website and add your e-mail to my newsletter. I’d love to have you on board!
Another point to ponder… this was a snail mail contest, and surprise, surprise, there were only 14 entries!!! Yep, you heard me - 14! So the odds of winning were very high! Next time there’s a snail mail contest, I urge everyone to enter, ’cause some people don’t take the time, and if you DO take the time, the winner could be YOU!
Of course, some folks didn’t enter this one because they may have already had most of the books I was giving away.
And now for the fun part… last night I numbered each of the entries. Then I put little slips of paper with numbers on them into a hat and made my hubby draw one. The winner is (drum roll please) - KAREN H. of Garner North Carolina!! Congrats!! For privacy reasons, I am not posting her last name here since I am mentioning her hometown. Karen didn’t give me her e-mail addres, so I hope she is checking the blog today. I have the heavy box all ready to mail, so expect it soon.
Hope all of you have a great Monday and a good week in general.
’Til next time,
Janice Maynard
OMG!!!
OMG!!!!
I can’t believe I won your contest…but I guess the odds were pretty good! Can’t wait to get my hands on that box. Thank you so very much!
I have a list of blogs and message boards that I check daily and this is one of them. On most of them I am pretty much one of those ‘lurkers’ but when the occasion strikes me, I do post.
Love those contests and happy reading all!!
Congrats to Karen!

Aw, thanks guys for saying you like the cover! And yes, July is a long time… but between now and then will be Spin the Bottle and The Perfect Ten, so that’s not so bad - right???
Congrats to Karen! I ran into a snag and didn’t get to the P.O., but tomorrow for sure!

Hello Janice,
Okay, I am like a super lurker. I had to say I love your cover. I think it’s the stockings–very sexy. It’s really nice. I wish you all the success with this and don’t worry, July will be here before you know it.
Congrats Karen! I love the cover Janice.
love the cover girl
Great Cover!
Congrats Karen!!
WTG Karen! Enjoy your prize.
Janice, I just love the cover for your next book. Looks fab.
Hey, how do you post a picture for this blog instead of the blank one that appears in the right column?
Good to hear from everyone - and some new names, even “super lurker” JT. Ha!
Stacy - I went to my profile, I think… but something went wrong… I wanted the entire book cover for my avatar, but it would only let me put that partial piece. And I was busy, so I gave up. It may have to do with how big the file was. Trial and error is not always efficient!!
Janice
Hot cover! & congrats, Karen!
Hi Ladies:
Just wanted to stop back in and let you know that I received this GIANT and VERY HEAVY box full of books on Saturday. Amazed that it arrived so soon. Having a ball going through the books and looking at all the titles. It’s a b**ch trying to decide what to read first so I’m sharing the books with a couple of friends.
Thanks again and happy reading all….
