Isn’t Winning Fun?

I know that I love winning!

Just last week, I won a book. And I’ve sent off a few entries in writing contests that I feel pretty optimistic about. Oh! And this morning, I got a super sweet Valentine’s gift from the Beneficent Mr. Hall. Definitely a winner.

But enough about me. You want to know if you won the critique from Vicky Alvear Shecter, and I don’t blame you. She’s a very talented writer, and entertaining, too. And I hope she’ll return in the fall when Cleopatra’s Moon is released and we can do this kind of contest again!

So without further ado (though I have sorta ado’d a bit here), the winner of the critique is Patricia Cruzan!

Thanks to all who dropped by here and signed on to follow Vicky somewhere, somehow. And if you also signed on to follow me, thanks so much for that! It kinda makes me feel like a winner.

And I do so love winning!

Finding a WINNER!

Just a quick thank you to Vicky Alvear Shecter for her awesome interview and the copy of Cleopatra Rules! The Amazing Life of the Original Teen Queen for a giveaway here at Finders & Keepers. And the commenter who gets to keep her awesome book is…

TANYA!

I know Tanya will love it-and the kidders in her house will enjoy it, too! And now I’m hoping that if I ask extra-sweetly, especially on Valentine’s Day, that Vicky will visit again in the fall and share her YA novel,  Cleopatra’s Moon.

Pretty please with a cherry on top?
