Contest Surprise!
So, I posted news about the March Contest a couple of days ago, and I settled back, fully expecting my mailbox to slowly fill with entries. (In typical months, I get about 45 entries for the contest.) Imagine my surprise when I checked my email last night after dinner, to find 45 entries in two days!
Apparently, my contest was posted over on www.online-sweepstakes.com, and a number of the members of that site entered. I know that some authors have had bad luck with the site, finding that no one follows the rules of the contest, but rather, they just show up saying "Here! Award me now!" I've found two "bad apples" (who I reminded that they needed to read the chapter and submit the answer to the question), but everyone else has followed the rules. And maybe, just maybe, one or two of them decided to read more than the first chapter of GIRL'S GUIDE!
In other news, I've spent the morning and early afternoon pulling together things that need to be mailed. If you are expecting anything from me, via United States Postal Service, you can calculate delivery times from this afternoon.
