Kindle Winner

So, is this not one of the coolest prizes yet at Diva-Palooza? It's the grande finale and we're wrapping this up with a bang. (You know, it's so hard to leave that one alone.)

First of all, I'd like to say that we couldn't have gotten there without all of you. I'm so thrilled that we were able to thank our readers and supporters with such an awesome giveaway.

I hope you guys plan to hang around long after the confetti is swept away. (You do know that confetti is really more like lice than a party, right?)

Oh, are you ready for the announcement? Should I monologue for a few more paragraphs? Nah, I said everything I needed to. All but congratulations to...

Jenn Hart

DIVA-PALOOZA Prize Winner #5

And the winner is...
Well, it could have been you. You've read our stories. You've voted and subscribed and maybe even commented. We want to give you stuff. We want to thank you for our support, but we have no idea who you are.

We need you to give us a heads up that you would like us to throw goodies at you. Kind of like the kids on the side of the path at a parade. Step up! Leave us a message on the Official Contest Blog with your Textnovel username. It's the only way we know to give you the good stuff.

If you did sign on the blog, we might not have been able to put you in the hat because you didn't actually vote and subscribe to all of us. We really want to add you to the lineup, but we have to be fair to those who have followed the contest rules to the letter.

We've given away some fab prizes so far, including a gift box of white Godiva chocolates, 2 full manuscript critiques, and books. We really want to give you something too. So go on, click on contests and leave us a blog message. There are also quick links so that you can get to each of our stories.

The grand prize of a Kindle or Amazon gift certificates of equal value (golly, that's a lot of books) is still up for October 31. So far, odds are good that you could be a winner. Who doesn't want to be a winner?

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

*drum roll please*

And now, to announce the winner of a full critique by yours truly.

Are the drums still rolling? They'd better be. Okay, I want a horn in there too.

Now, down to it.

DEBORAH BLAKE! ::throws confetti::

Way to go! Email me at blackenedquill (at) aol (dot) com to claim your prize.

DIVA-PALOOZA Prize Winner #3

The winner of a basket of fine chocolates is--Damiana! Congratulations and enjoy! Now, just contact me with your mailing address and it will be shipped right over to you. Mmmmm, sometimes, I wish I were eligible for these contests.

How did Damiana win this great prize? She voted, subscribed and commented on our contest blog page. She also commented on our stories on Textnovel, and followed us there as well. This gave her a number of extra entries. It was that easy. Her favorite author of us all? Why, Gail Hart of course! Who couldn't love a novel that features Chocolate Martinis. For everyone's enjoyment, and for the love of chocolate, here is the recipe for a glass:
