DAY 12 of the 12 Day Holiday Hootenanny! RADCLYFFE!

Okay folks, no bingo cage this go ’round. Just me, a hat, my two nieces, and about 5000 little pieces of paper. The winners are as follows:

  1. Sonja
  2. Cam
  3. Lisa
  4. Norma 

Thanks again to all the authors who contributed their work, a big thanks to Radclyffe for sponsoring an entire day’s worth of winners, and an even bigger thanks to Andi for doing all the work to make this happen.

Most important, thanks to all of you who checked in day after day to play along. It’s been a fun ride and I hope we can have a repeat event next year.

Happy reading, y’all!

Friends, thank you. Thank you for joining us at Women and Words the past 11 days to share some luv and holiday cheer. It’s readers like you that make writers like us do what we do. We are so grateful to all of the authors who donated books, and to all of the people who have signed up to participate in our drawings. No matter what you celebrate (or even if you don’t), may the season bring you good cheer and may the new year bring you more of the same.

And now, for our grand finale.

  39. Put me in for the last drawing. Love Rad’s books,and everyone else whom I have read and believe it or not I have read most every author on Facebook. At my age this is about all I do anymore. So I’m going to be a little piggish and say PICK ME.PICK ME. I doubt that anyone would appreciate it more.

    • I assure you, it’s our pleasure. And I agree, what better way to finish the event. Radclyffe has done a great deal for lesbian fiction, both with her writing and publishing (and for my writing in particular since she continues to publish my work). Add to it her generous offer of multiple titles and this was the only logical place in the hootenanny to feature her work.
