The Cover Girl Contest Results Are In!

It was a big  job counting all the votes but we’ve tallied the votes, double checked our numbers, and the 3 highest vote scoring photos were:

Photo 3 – 80 votes
Photo 4 – 86 votes
Photo 15 – 73 votes

Just now I threw the top three numbers into a hat and drew at random Entry #4!

Entry #4, Janine, you have won the Grand Prize! (The Grand Prize – $200 VISA gift card, a colorful picnic hamper for a fun day in the countryside, a totebag full of goodies and Jane’s recommendations of perfect books for fall, and other fun Jane Porter goodies.)

Janine
The Grand Prize Winner! Entry #4 - Janine

The wonderful two Runner Up winners, #3 and #15, will each receive a signed copy of She’s Gone Country, $50 Barnes & Noble gift card, $15 Starbucks card, and JP reader goodies

Melody
Runner Up: Entry #3 - Melody

Janelle
Runner Up: Entry #15 - Janelle

And everyone that entered a photo in the contest gets a $25 B&N card and a $15 Starbucks card and special treats.

So congratulations to my wonderful winners. This was an amazing, creative, and competitive contest and I loved every single entry. I thank each of you who participated–whether you entered or voted–as you really made this contest fun.

And now winners and contestants who entered a photo in the Cover Girl Contest, please, please send me a private email with your mailing address so I can get these wonderful prizes out!

Country Girl (Shey), Cover Girl (You), Soon to be Back-in-the-USA Girl (Me)

I’m ready to hit the touring road, and am off to charming Auckland, New Zealand, where I will attend their Romance Writers’ Conference this week. And next Monday I will be back in the states, getting ready for my book launch party at Books Inc in Palo Alto, CA, and basking in the excitement of She’s Gone Country officially hitting stores.

Book releases mean book tours, which means lots of traveling, hard work, and time away from my family. But touring also offers me the chance to visit new and beloved destinations, meet new and dedicated readers, and celebrate the finished product of the hard work of writing.

I love my job. And I especially love book releases! And this one started a little early… bonus!

I hope you’ll celebrate with me by taking part in the She’s Gone Country Cover Girl Contest. I am just in love with the cover of She’s Gone Country (little known fact: authors have very little say in the cover design process, so it’s a blessing when the cover is this awesome). I couldn’t think of a better way to commemorate the book’s release and give away some great prizes than to ask my readers create their own version of Shey and the red truck, snap a photo, and send it in.

All the details for entering are right here, or just look for this cover girl graphic on my home page (or wherever) to get whisked to the details, and also to the gallery of the photos as they start to come in. Take note: there are a few ways to enter, so everyone can participate!

This is a quick one: the contest ends September 10th, so get going! Cowgirl up!

In the meantime, I can’t wait to check in from the road to post your entries and read your comments about She’s Gone Country and the Shey-inspired photos.
