IT’S HERE! We’ve voted for our favorites, and the winner is…

 

Today is both Demon Bound‘s release day and election day! It’s been a fantastic two weeks of voting, with some close races and a couple of unexpected blowouts, and I hope that you’ve had fun and discovered a few new authors.

So, on to the final results! But first, here is a final word from our sponsor:

The seductive and dangerous world of the Guardians now yields a secret that threatens the soul of a woman and the fate of the universe, both Demon Bound…

Among the Guardians, Alice Grey is known as the Black Widow—a woman trapped in a web spun by the demon Teqon. To save her soul, she agreed to deliver to Teqon the heart of the oldest and most powerful Guardian of all, or else be damned for eternity. After more than a hundred years, Teqon is calling in his debt.

Jake Hawkins is a novice Guardian whose gift of teleportation could be invaluable to Alice in determining her next move. But in aligning himself with her he never expected to fall in love. Now, their passionate flight to escape Alice’s damnable bargain is threatening both their souls. For they’re about to discover a hellish secret about the Guardians—something that will change their universe forever.

And so we come to the end of…

Nov 3rd winner: Yesterday’s poll included my backlist and…my backlist. Those books will go to commenter #29, Kelly!

And in the Grand Prize drawing, the contest wasn’t even close. Although there were a few passionate arguments in favor of the eBookwise, the $100 Gift Certificate won handily at 111 votes to 58. After compiling all of the entrants in the daily votes, removing duplicate names, adding in the entrants who posted the widget, then running over to random.org … I have a winner of that gift certificate:

Allison!

*throws confetti*  Congratulations, ladies!  *throws confetti*

Finally, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated; voter turnout was amazing, and it couldn’t have been the event that it was without the support and help of everyone who spread the word via e-mails and the widgets. And don’t forget that you have more opportunities to win: The Book Smugglers are giving away copies of Demon Bound, and the Book Binge is, too — as well as hosting the incredible Buy a Book, Win $100 contest. 

As Jake might say, you all rock so flippin’ hard.
