Contest Winners!

Hello, writer friends!! I'm back from a relaxing weekend at the beach. Man, turning twenty-one sure feels great ; ~) Snicker.

SOOO! The winners of my contest to celebrate my Urban Fantasy newsletter are Jennifer Hillier and Deana Barnhart!! Ladies, you get a choice of either a $15.00 Amazon gift card or two urban fantasy new releases (Grave Dance by Kalayna Price and Viper Moon by Lee Roland). I'll email you shortly!

I used random.org to generate the winners of my contest. They use atmospheric noise to generate true randomness (as opposed to pseudo-random algorithms), and that just sounds really cool so I thought I'd share.

And, since atmospheric noise is on my side and you know my contest results are truly random, we can all indulge in a giggle when I share these pics from my trip (atmospheric noise apparently has a sense of humor and great coincidence):
 
Creep getting a tan in Florida.


Me, not getting a tan (darn Irish blood).


Random sunset pic I took that I'm pretty proud of.


Thanks to everyone who signed up for the newsletter and entered the contest! I hope everyone is enjoying their week. Stay tuned for a joint collaboration between me and Michelle Fayard!

  1. Big congrats to the winners! And haha, I had to laugh at CREEP getting a tan, there. Very amusing. ;o) Except I dunno...it actually looks whiter than you do!

  5. Congratulations, winners!

    I'm especially jealous. Love the beach. Haven't been in years. Growing up in California, you can imagine the withdrawals. Thanks for sharing!

  7. I’m so glad you had a great week at the beach, Alexia; what a wonderful way to celebrate your “21st” birthday. :) I know what you mean about the Irish/not tanning thing, but I do turn a beautiful shade of red. Congratulations to the winners, and by the way, I love the new look for the home page of your Web site.
