Debut Authorpalooza Winners Part Two

I apologize for the lack of activity around here the last week or so. I’m on a work trip and for some reason I have a hard time writing when I’m not in my own work space. And even worse, I have a hard time laying out blog posts. Who knows? In any case, here are the rest of the winners for Debut Authorpalooza. I want to thank the authors again for their awesome posts, and more importantly, their awesome novels. Thanks also to everyone who participated!

Here are the winners:

Miserere: An Autumn Tale by Teresa Frohock

Mieneke van der Salm, Netherlands

The Emperor’s Knife by Mazarkis Williams

Sandino S., Bulgaria

GRAND PRIZE WINNER

Sharon R., Davenport, Iowa

I’m sure Sharon is wondering what she’s won exactly. I’m going to try to summarize what she’ll receive. I reserve the right for it to be incomplete.

and…..

I’m sending her a dozen books from my own shelves, just because.

Let this be a lesson to you readers! When I run a giveaway that mentions GRAND PRIZE, you should enter. I fully plan to run a Debut Authorpalooza 2013 next year, sooo… if you have a favorite debut author from 2012 let me know and I’ll force them to participate.

    AH, I almost screamed at work, haha. (In a library; slightly frowned upon.) Thank you so much!

      Also, I'd like to strongly suggest Anthony Ryan for next year's Debut Authorpalooza.

      I'm just about finished with that book (~97%) and I absolutely loved it. Just an amazing epic fantasy novel. Also, congrats!
