My winners!

Firstly, I must thank everyone for coming to my blog on this hop
{you're all like wee little virtual frogs, hee hee}.  Unless you popped by, we would have no one to write for.  So, thank you! 

From myself, personally, I must extend a deeply humbled thank you to everyone who commented with such a warm regard (and several very excited ones!!) that I was rather shocked as I went through them.  I was completely behind on the deadline, I emailed the lovely Renee Rose and Katherine Deane to tell them that I wasn't going to make the 12:01 am deadline, and after seven hours of writing, finished at 3:00 am.  The post went up and I thought, 'well, they will either like it or hate it.'  I certainly didn't expect anyone to love it.  I didn't think anyone would want it to be turned into a full-length book.  I wasn't even very fond of my writing - I didn't feel it was my best - or that it was interesting.  The encouragement has made me step back and consider that my level of critique can be a bit narrow, especially when it comes to myself.    

Now then!

I don't think it's fair to pick the winners based on whoever satisfied my need to feel validated (as tempting as that is!) and so the fairest option was for me to draw names out of a bowl.  Here are the results!

Grand Prize
