Now that This Christmas contest has officially ended, I hope to have the winners announced no later than eight this morning. The winners are randomly selected, and, in general, the process should take mere seconds. However, to insure that the contest remains fair, all entries will be moderated to remove duplicates and also those that don't qualify (i.e. stating you left a blog post but didn't, etc.).

I would like to thank everyone who entered. The response was great! For those of you who love contests, I am in the planning stages of the 14 Days of Valentines contest that coincides with the release of my eighth novel, The One.

I'd also like to extend thanks to all those who left comments with gift suggestions. I have read every post and received so many great ideas that I plan to incorporate.

Another Chance to Win:

Don't forget to check Facebook.com/theonenovel on December 25th for the final "This Christmas" winner announcement. The winner will be drawn randomly from the Christmas entrants, excluding those who win prizes in this round. The Christmas Day prize will be your choice of an Amazon.com Kindle Touch ($99) Barnes and Noble Nook Touch ($99) or $100 American Express Gift Card.

Do you have a gift idea to share with me for the upcoming 14 Days of Valentines? If so, please click here to leave a comment.

I wish all of you a joyous and safe holiday season!

Sincerely,

Cheryl Robinson
