King of Sword and Sky - Grand Prize Winner

First, I just want to thank you to everyone who came to post and participate in my first Release Countdown blogfest. Honestly, it was such fun for me and I had such a great time reading everyone's posts. I hope to do this again for future releases.

I pack up tonight for my drive to Atlanta, GA and the fabulous Moonlight & Magnolias conference (Norcross - Peachtree Corners, GA - see http://www.georgiaromancewriters.org/) where I will be joining a number of wonderful, very talented authors to give workshops, sign books, etc.

M&M hosts an annual open-to-the-public autographing to benefit Laubach Literacy, an adult literacy non-profit organization, and I will be there signing books. Also, after the conference, on Sunday, I'll be visiting my friends at the Johns Creek Borders in Suwanee, GA to sign copies of KING. If you are in the area, I hope you'll stop by!


And now, it's time to select the Grand Prize Winner of the inagural C.L. Wilson release countdown blogfest!

The lucky winner will receive a super-special, highly-coveted C.L. Wilson "Celebrate the Magic of Love " gift basket put together by these very novel-typing hands (well, with the help of my lovely and talented firstborn daughter, Ileah). This vertitable cornucopia of literary and sensory delights includes autographed copies of LORD, LADY, and a KING ARC, plus an assortment of aromatic candles, candies, trinkets and treasures to help you celebrate love and romance in a fantastic fashion....

(Don't you want one? *g* Well, as a matter of fact, there will be another C.L. Wilson "Celebrate the Magic of Love" basket for raffle at the Moonlight & Magnolias' autographing too! So if you don't win here, but you come to M&M, you can have another chance to win for the cost of a raffle ticket to help adult literacy! )

And now....time to select our winner!



...Maestro, drum roll please.....



Miss Assistant, if you would, please, hand me the magic hat.... Thank you, very much.



...I am shuffling up the contents of the hat.....



....(drums still rolling)....



....I am reaching into the hat, digging through the selection of name slips...


....dig, dig, dig....hmmm, hmmm, hmmm.....dig some more.....



Aha!


I have selected lucky winning ticket!!!!!



...oh, you can cut the tension with a knife! (My assistant is waiting with bated breath! Wringing her hands together! She can hardly stand the suspense!)....



....and the winner is...

Congratulations Heather!

Cheryl, I've had a wonderful time following the blog along with the countdown to King. The quotes are all awesome and the questions (and everyone's answers) interesting and informative. I can't wait to read King of Sword and Sky and I know as soon as I finish, the real countdown for Queen will begin for me. Thank you also for my winnings!

I look forward to reading whatever comes out of your talented hands. Enjoy your successes and happy writing!
