The WINNERS at Metonia's Bookclub

It was a very close race for authors, Anna Campbell and Rowena Cherry. Only two posts separated them for top spot on Metonia’s Book clubs LUCK OF THE IRISH AUTHORS CHALLENGE CONTEST. But wait … Caridad Pineiro has picked a winner! She hosted her own contest for her fans and that lucky person has won an earlier book from the series, THE CALLING, and a T-shirt. But fear not loyal fans, both Anna and Rowena are donating for their own contest too. Winners have been drawn. So, we have two more winners joining the circle. In addition, don’t forget Metonia’s. I have decided to give everyone a chance to win. If your favorite author had only one post or ten posts your name was added to the bowl…. And yes I use a real bowl, not those computerized random counters… Before I announce the winners… yes I am going to make you wait!! I want to tell you of the fun posted at Metonia’s. There are 15 wonderful and hunkalisous photos posted for your viewing as well as 11 video trailers. If you haven’t checked them out please do. They range from sweet and humorous to hubba hubba, Don’t forget to leave a comment or two behind on how you liked the trailers for the authors. If you haven’t read the excerpts posted yet, you are missing a wonderful chance to check out potential stories, such as Rowena Cherry’s INSUFFICIENT MATING MATERIAL. She has 2 excerpts posted for this one and when I read about the “tattoo that only showed up in the dark”, well, that really caught my attention mainly because of its location. Mmmmmm. Sheri L. McGathy has an excerpt posted of SUMMERSONG that dragged me so quickly into the story, I almost responded as if the story was real in my comment post. I know I will be smiling at the antics of Socrates when I buy Jacquie Rogers DOWN HOME EVER LOVIN MULE BLUES just by the enchanting creature he presents himself to be in her excerpt. Now for the winners. The authors that sponsored their own contests should be contacting each individual to get your mailing information or you can contact them directly first. If you do not hear from them within the week please let me know. You can email me at renraw10@aol.com Jordinde Verschueren is the lucky winner of one of Rowena Cherry’s futuristic sci-fi romances. Congratulations Jordinde. There was a slight problem with the original winner of Anna Campbell’s contest. The participant was hoping for the actual hero ERITH from TEMPT THE DEVIL. A postage stamp ( though I can think of some wonderful places to put it) is out of the question here, a second winner had to be picked. Ana maybe you can check with Dara England and see if she will share her magic for sending a person back into her books like in BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE. Then maybe you can have ERITH. Phyllis Lamken congratulations for being the winner of one of Anna Campbell’s Regency books. Julie Evans you have been picked as the lucky winner of an earlier book from the series, THE CALLING by Caridad Pineiro, and a T-shirt. Congratulations! And last but not least, the winner of the LUCK OF THE IRISH AUTHORS CHALLENGE CONTEST hosted by Metonia’s Bookclub is…. Jacquie Rogers. Congratulations Jacquie, now you have your own dilemma to solve. You posted under four authors but only get to pick one book. Will it be … Nora’s Soul by Margay Leah Justice Mating Net by Rowena Cherry Summersong by Sheri L McGathy Wyndriver Sinner by Charlotte Boyett Compo Let me know which one and as long as it is still in paper print form, I will get it to you. I would like to thank everyone for participating. I had 12 authors participating in the contest
