Winners

You know how much I hate picking the winners of the giveaways, right? Because I want everyone to win. For me, it's torture not to be able to get the books into everyone's hands. I was really feeling the pain with the Ice Giveaway, because what you all wrote about your writing and life landmarks was so great.

Well, tonight I took a hard look at the promo budget for Rebel Ice, and there's just enough left in there to cover what I was thinking about doing. Plus I've always wanted to do this for one of my novels on the weblog, and we should celebrate all of our landmarks once.

So the winners for the Ice Giveaway are:

Everyone who participated.

Now, I need all 61 winners to e-mail me at LynnViehl@aol.com, and send your full name and the address where you want me to send the book. It will take me a few more days to get the extra books, sign, package and get them all out, but I figure you'll be okay with that.

Congratulations to everyone.

    That is so wonderful, Sheila! You are very generous to your readers, indeed. I didn't join in on this one because I've won twice and I wanted someone else to win, Since only with your contests do I have any luck at all. :P

  18. Wow! Thanks so much! I'm really excited about reading this book, when I first encountered you over at FM, I decided to go out and buy your books to show support for all the help you were giving. And I fell in love with Cherijo and the StarDoc universe. :-)

  35. Thank you, Sheila. You continue to amaze me.

    Oh, and if this is your best effort to drive your blog readers off, may I suggest you're failing miserably?

    ReplyDelete
  36. You're the greatest.

    I'm with Gabriele -- I'm just finishing the first StarDoc. Is there a Spark Notes for the series, so I can catch up quickly?

    KIDDING!
