1. Winners

I have chosen the winners!

Well, actually, Random Number Generator dot com, has chosen the winners.

Before I announce the winners, I need to tell you one thing: You all had a very good chance of winning.

As soon as Les Stobbe agreed to let me join his agency, I stopped asking people to sign up for the newsletter. So, whereas I was going to promote heavily through October and November, I did no promotion at all. And I ended up with a small list of subscribers (88, to be exact, which a very cool number—it was the number of the taxi-cab my boyfriend and I owned and operated in Anchorage, Alaska). As it turns out, Random Number Generator dot com chose four winners and I happen to know three of those winners.

So, there’s my explanation, to any of you who may wonder why I know so many of the winners.

Here are the prizes:

  • 1st prize: iPad Mini
  • 2nd prize: five books tucked into a lovely book bag
  • 3rd prize: the book bag with three books
  • 4th prize: the book bag with two books

And now without further ado, the winners in the First (and last) Annual Best Books for Young Readers Sweepstakes:

  • 4th prize goes to: Meg Moseley
  • 3rd prize goes to: Vicky Alvear Shecter
  • 2nd prize goes to: Ben Musclow
And….
drumroll please….
  • 1rst prize goes to: Suzan Robertson

And now I bid you all adieu. In another week, I’m going to redirect this blog to my agent site. If you want to keep up with me, please subscribe to posts over there.

Thanks!
