UPDATE: This contest is now over! Thank you to everyone who entered. I used Random.org to select the two winners, and they are Melody A. and Gretchen. Congratulations, ladies! My assistant has emailed you with instructions on how to claim your books. Please contact me if you haven’t received this email. 

My sincere apologies to those who did not receive notice about the chance to win my two fall releases —A Season for Tending and The Dawn of Christmas—until after the winners had been pulled. Thank you so much for your excitement about the giveaway, and thank you to those who contacted me privately to let me know they’d received their automated subscription e-mails AFTER the giveaway was over!

That wasn’t fair, was it?

We had numerous little glitches last week with the new site, and it was hard for me to communicate the issues with the team since I was out of town with really bad Internet service. My iPhone can serve as an Internet service, but it struggled to get and keep a connection, taking up to five minutes to finally send my e-mail.

So, to be fair to everyone, I’m running a fresh contest this week with those same items: two sets of A Season for Tending and The Dawn of Christmas: one set each for TWO winners.

Also, I have received new bookmarks!

If you’d like to receive FREE bookmarks, just send a SASE (Self-Addressed-Stamp-Envelope) and write “bookmarks only” on the back of your envelope, and send it to:

Giveaway Rules

If you would like to enter for a chance to be one of TWO readers to win an autographed copy of A Season for Tending AND Christmas in Apple Ridge, simply leave a comment at the bottom of this post on my website. The two books will be shipped separately, each one will be sent as soon as I receive my author copies.

If you are reading this anywhere other than my website, such as on Facebook, in an email, or on Goodreads, please hop on over to this post on my website: https://www.cindywoodsmall.com/2012/08/06/take-two/, and leave a comment at the bottom of my post to enter the giveaway.

*Only comments left on my website will be entered into the giveaway.* (It’s just too hard to track down all the comments left in various places, and that means it’s too easy to miss some of the comments.)

The deadline for this contest is Friday, August 10, 2012, at noon. The winner will be chosen using Random.org and will be contacted privately, as well as announced on next week’s post.
