I won!  I won!  This is the first contest I have ever won.  I thought I was coming into the contest way too last.  I just now got an e-mail from Megan saying that I won.  Any one else here win the Readergirlz Contest back in Febuary?

Oh, yay YOU. Which contest was it?

[freenarnian.livejournal.com]

I also received an email. :) Happy day.

WOO HOO! YAY! Congratulations, you two!

[pico-the-great.livejournal.com]

Hurrah, congratulations!

[elle-winters.livejournal.com]

Me too! :-)

Oh, and I gave the mailing address to a friends apt who REALLY needs to read the books, and I've told her to expect something in the mail!!

Hopefully she becomes a fan!!! *crosses fingers*

[freenarnian.livejournal.com]

That was a great idea!

I've picked up 4 or 5 copies of The Thief at used book sales/stores in the past and found them good homes, which is more or less what I'm planning to do for the rest of my life, as long as copies continue to come my way. ;) There's a couple of girls, ages 11 and 13, that recently joined my writing club and I'm definitely seeing fan-potential there...

[elle-winters.livejournal.com]

Yes! I know EXACTLY what you mean when you say that, I love meeting people and thinking "Yup, I think they definitely have fan-potential" those are the best :-)

Good luck in your recruiting!

You are much more generous than I am. I know this copy is supposed to be given out to others, but then the e-mail said it was signed. SIGNED, YEAH. I was not expecting that. I am not going to loan it out. I'll give away my other copies.

[elle-winters.livejournal.com]

I know!! Agh I had no idea about that until I saw the email...I expect to get my copy back..in spiffing new condition !

P.S

[elle-winters.livejournal.com]

Did you note the bit about arm twisting? I was honestly thinking "How does she know????" Not that I have/will/plan on it....*ahem*

And the prolonged sulking..that got my sister to read them! :D

I have a current Calculus student who is on the second book of the series. I have not threatened his grades or promised to give him extra homework if he does not read them. You should be proud of me. I unfortunately do not teach literature, or I would push the series. Our school is a Classical/Christian school, so most of the books we read are classics. I will however be giving the books to the administrator's oldest boy soon. If he really likes it, I can push it as a modern classic. The teacher of that grade level is one of the ones I lent my books to in the past. She spent her last year in college pushing the books on other people so I know she would back me up.

Hooray. And don't worry if you want to keep the signed copy and pass some other copy around. They are fungible.

P.P.S

My friend got the book and said, "Now that I have the first one, I will have to go out and get the rest of the series!" I've also told her to pass it on to another friend who I believe has fan-potential!

:D

First you write amazing books, wear awesome earrings, and mismatch your socks, and now you're psychic too??

Next thing you know, our lovely author will tell us she can surf too...


Though I suppose the warning was sufficient. Not that I have violent tendencies or anything...with the exception of QT books and/or inkpots

Congratulations, GK! On the contest AND the email ('cause that's totally cool!)!

[ninedaysaqueen.livejournal.com]

Yay! :D

CONGRATULATIONS, EVERYONE! SPREAD THE LOVE!!
