I would like to express my gratitude to the 746 members of Goodreads who entered to win one of five signed copies of "For the Beauty of the Earth."
As a writer who may spend years working in luminous solitude on one novel, it's always readers who make such labor worthwhile.
In my experience members of Goodreads are especially astute readers with an honest passion to find and devour good books worldwide.
The five winners of the Goodreads Give-away of "For the Beauty of the Earth," as determined by Goodreads, are:
1) Roseanne Schmidt | Manahawkin| NJ
2) David Baker | Story City | IA
3) Lynette Fox| Laconia| NH
4) Brad Sells| Livingston| TN
5) Kaitlin Shafer | Phoenix| AZ
Each of them will be shipped a signed copy of this novel on Tuesday, July 19th.
Again, we can be grateful to Goodreads for its tireless work to enable that the written word is read globally and endures.
