Time to Announce the Winners!

Our 1-Year Anniversary celebration exceeded our wildest expectations in every way imaginable. Every post was read and enjoyed by literally hundreds of people, the number of comments far beyond what we have ever received. In a word: Phenomenal. We cannot adequately express our appreciation because that would take pages with long paragraphs and tons of adjectives, so hopefully this will suffice~~

 Before we actually get to the winners – stop hitting that scroll button! – there are a few items of note:
1.  Karen Doornebos will be selecting the 3 lucky winners of a signed copy of Definitely Not Mr. Darcy and the “Coffee? Tea? or Mr. Darcy?” coasters in a day or two.
2. Carolyn Eberhart must have time to sift through the numerous entries from those of you dying to be a Viscountess, so the winner will be announced by Carolyn in a separate post.
3. Juliet Archer’s celebratory launch for Persuade Me with 2 copies up for grabs – 1 US and 1 for UK/ROW – has a deadline of 9/23 so there is time! Juliet’s post is HERE 
4. 20 brave souls answered the Who Wrote It? Challenge Quiz and no one missed more than 4! 12 people were 100% correct! Frankly, I was shocked. You are an amazing group. Next time we will have to make it tougher! The correct answers have now been revealed on the Who Wrote It? post, so if interested click the link.
5. Lastly, the answers to the Who’s Cover is it? collage have also been posted. No special prize for that bit-o-fluff, but we hope you enjoyed it.

Now the moment you have been waiting for!
