Please excuse this tiny deviation from our regularly scheduled Colorado Author Monday (which will be on Tuesday this week), so I may announce the winner of my first drawing for a signed hardcover copy of The Desert Hedge Murders:
Paul David Brazill
Poland
It appears Mr. Brazill is a fan and author of noir, so I hope he has a sense of humor. The Desert Hedge Murders sits at the extreme other end of the crime genre. Readers are cautioned not to take it seriously.
However, I like the idea that my book will soon be on its way to Poland. I also had an entry from British Columbia, as well as entries from six states. Thanks to everyone who participated. And just to show you how much I appreciate your entries, those who did not win are automatically entered in the second drawing which I will announce on Wednesday.
LOL, Patricia (but you do have a point!).
Paul – I’m blushing.
Yep! He’s from Manchester and the editor of the ezine Thrillers Killers n Chillers as well as being a fine writer.
This Col Bury dude must be a Brit — they always have a tough time understanding us Americans cause we talk all weird-like. LOL
Well done, Paul.
Though I’m not sure whether you’ve been randomly drawn out or you’ve submitted a ‘drawing’, but Congrats anyway!
And, Patricia, good luck with book 2 – it sounds like fun!
Great stuff! I’m pleased as punch and look forward to reading the book. I DO like a laugh – I’m a Runyon/Wodehouse man too! Cheers.Paul
Congrats to Paul! Too bad it wasn’t me, though. 🙂

Now your audience is truly international! Great news, Patricia. So if it’s Tuesday in Colorado, what day is it in Poland? – to mangle an old joke.
It’s always fun to know your book is a “world traveler”.
An international audience is wonderful! Congrats to Paul, and I’m glad I get a second chance!

Well, darn. Thanks for considering a second drawing, though.

Poland! That’s cool. Congrats to Paul. I’m half-done your novel and laughing out loud, while reading and enjoying it!
That makes it extra fun, Jane. With the first book I wanted to make sure my book had a couple of international readers so I sent one to a cousin in Norway and another to English friends who live in France.
Anyway, stay tuned for the next drawing. You’re already entered.
Well, I was hoping it would be me! It is great, however, that you’re attracting international fans.
