And the Winner Is . . .

I promised to announce the winner of Beverly Barton's romantic thriller, Dead By Midnight, tomorrow, April 12. That's just a few hours away, but I have a longish post tomorrow in honor of National Library Week, so I thought it would be a good idea to announce the winner tonight.

The winner's name selected at random is . . . Nick Nixon. Nick tried to post on my blog last week but had some trouble, so he e-mailed me his comment and I posted it for him. Anyway, Nick's name was picked out of the hat, so I will get the book to him.

Congratulations, Nick, and thanks to everyone who dropped by and left a post.

I will announce another contest tomorrow, so stay tuned.

Book Giveaway - Dead by Midnight by Beverly Barton

Regular visitors may remember one of my goals is to get organized this year by giving away some books on my book shelf. So, in the spirit of keeping organized and sharing the wealth, here's the giveaway.

Last month I interviewed New York Times bestselling author Beverly Barton and reviewed her latest romantic thriller, DEAD BY MIDNIGHT on Boookreporter. In her Bookreporter interview, Beverly tells readers why titles are important and what happens after she writes her first draft. DEAD BY MIDNIGHT is a chilling romantic thriller about a deranged serial killer whose victims are related to a porno movie.

So, if you enjoy reading romantic thrillers with a twist at the end and want to help me reach my goal of reducing my stack of books, just leave a comment between now and April 11. I will select one name and pick a winner and announce on April 12.

Today in St. Peters, MO: Chance of afternoon thunderstorms, high 72 degrees.

Note: If you watched closely, you could see Walt on TV last night and early this morning. He works at the polls as an election judge in Cottleville, the small city next to St. Peters. The Cottleville mayor is pushing a petition to legalize medical marajuana, which helped his wife when she was in the grips of breast cancer. The measure failed by 9 votes, but I suspect it will appear on the ballot again.
