Winners of the Holiday Hop

Thank you very much to all who made a “how many jellybeans in the jar” guess on my Holiday Hop contest, and thanks for stopping by, hope to see you all again.

Congratulations to Rachel Strong for coming closest to the actual word count of The Wind From Miilark’s first draft, which was 144,122 words.  Rachel guessed 145,271, missing it by a scant 1149 words.  The next two closest guesses were teressaoliver who was 2327 under, and Kathryn, at 3739 over.

Now, if I’d been really slick, I would have requested everybody be sure to leave a way I could reach them, but of course I am not real slick. Rachel and Teressa I believe I can get in contact with via their links, but Kathryn…I have no idea who you are.  I’m hoping you read this, and feel free to contact me here so I can get your book to you. Otherwise, I’ll see what I can do, but as has been noted, I am computer semi-literate at best.
