Did You Think I Forgot?

So...maybe I forgot for a few days, but I've actually just been putting off deciding who to send a copy of the illustrious GRIT magazine with my first paid published piece. (Can I work any more p's into that paragraph? Maybe I should try again...)

See, I've recently discovered this whole scheduling posts thing and it's just lovely forgetting about blogging for a month but still reaching my Resolution-Required one post a week minimum goal.

But here I am now, picking up the pieces and doing this giveaway. I know you've been waiting on the edge of your seat!

So the copy of GRIT goes to...

Beth Vogt! Aren't you just totally thrilled????! Ha. Thank you for being one of two faithful rambling readers! ;-)

And The Winner Is...

So many great, live heroes out there! Thanks for sharing. :-) The lucky winner of my dear friend Betsy's book, A Valentine's Wish, is...

Drumroll...

Alright, already. Valery, send me your address! And on the way to the mail box to pick it up, make a pit stop at the closest Stein Mart for a chocolate gator. You're going to be craving it before you're finished reading!

Thanks, everybody. I just might have some new hero material here...

New Contest

So...I'm cold. I spent yesterday typing while trying out some fingertip-less gloves. (Is there a proper term for those? I'm a Florida girl; I don't know these things.) An evening trip to Starbucks for a caramel apple spice was a wonderful treat.

And that brings to mind my new contest and a chance to win a Starbucks giftcard. It's easy. All you have to do is give me up to five suggestions for last names for my new character Jake. Post a comment or email me or send me a message through my website. I'll be deciding on a name this Saturday (January 9). If I pick yours, remember me on your Starbucks run. :-)

Oh, and by the way, Happy New Year!
