The First Contest Winner

by JM

cupcake.jpgYes, that’s right. It is only the first weekend after the contest announcement and I am very happy to say that we already have a winner here at Fiction Scribe. Please join me in saying congratulations to:

The Wandering Author!

The Wandering Author has won with his comment on the interview with Michaela Riley:

“This sounds like a book I want to read. I have my own reservations about the judicial system. And the book just sounds intriguing. Perhaps that’s why I stay away from most book reviews, author interviews, etc. Simply leave me with unanswered questions about a book, and I need to read it.

Which probably helps to explain why I’m going to be spending this weekend digging through stacks of books to see what ones I can bear to part with, just so I can have a little room to breathe.�

Out of the luck of the draw, The Wandering Author will receive a very yummy block of milk chocolate with a couple extra goodies thrown in just because I like giving stuff away. As soon as I receive his mailing address, it will be sent off in the Australian Post!

Another congratulations to The Wandering Author for winning the first prize. His comment landed on the right number and yours could, too. Remember, you have not one but four more chances to win, the biggest prize going to the 100th commenter.

Keep stopping by and speaking your mind for your chance to win.

    Chocolate! I’m going to be enjoying myself in a little while! :D If you don’t mind, I’ll e-mail you my address - I’m not sure what ‘bots would pick it up otherwise.

    Emails are preferable with all those bots running around the ‘net. :) I’m very glad you like chocolate.

    Congrats WA, you had a great point in that comment.
    I like to Pay it Forward with books if they are in good condition.

    Paying it forward in books is excellent. I just wish I could afford more shipping costs. :)
