The winner is...

...SHERRY THOMAS!

You were randomly selected by my cat (shown here selecting a fine Porter):



Email me at lenora AT lenorabell.com, and I will put your prize in the mail.

Check out Sherry's website, ogle the gorgeous cover of her upcoming novel, Private Arrangements, and read what Mary Balogh and Jane Feather have to say about this "irresistible new voice" in romance.

Thanks for making my first contest fun, everyone!

Good luck with your RWA national preparations.

  1. Congrats, Sherry!

    And what a fun contest - I must say, it was really exciting to see other people (Sherry included) 'out' themselves as fanfic aficianados!

  2. I know, it was so fun to read the fanfic. I wrote a Nancy Drew story once, does that count? I wish I could find it because it definitely would have been good for some laughs.

  3. Congrats on your contest, Lenora! Yes, I loved seeing all the fanfic, too, because my daughter and I are hooked on Harry Potter fanfic. Especially because I am dreading the end of the series, and won't be happy with anyone being killed off; it's much nicer to make up your own ending:)

    Thanks for the heads-up on Sherry Thomas! Anyone that M.B. is recommending is an automatic buy for me!

  9. You know, I was so going to do that contest! I just read the post before Nationals and was too frazzled to put a thought together.

    I would have been so gun shy too with the industry if that had happened to me. From what I've seen, you are a fabulous writer! I'm glad you're still going for it!

  11. Hi Lenora! We are worried you're not getting our emails. We sent you your crit on July 3 from the Mavens address. A couple Mavens have emailed you since from their personal emails. We are afraid you're not getting emails with attachments? Can you email us from another email address and we will reply with your crit?

  12. Hi Erica, Thanks for checking up. Yeah, I think I have an overeager spam filter. I did manage to connect with Darcy. We're going out for coffee sometimes since we're in the same area now. Yay!
