Recent contest winners, and a note on cheating

Congratulations to the winners of the last two giveaways:

Daniel Kalla's Rising Sun, Falling Shadow has gone out to Lynn P.
Jenny Barden's The Lost Duchess will be going out to Katherine G.

Hope you'll enjoy the books!

Also: for the last few contests I've run, at least, it appears there's been some cheating going on.  Someone who uses multiple names and owns multiple email addresses and uses them to game the system has gotten careless, entering one of my giveaways with the same email but three different names.  I don't get such a huge number of entries that this isn't immediately obvious.  I also noticed these same names showing up with different emails for previous contests I've run.  Then when I googled one of those emails and found confirmation of the multiple aliases plus a heads-up from another blogger, well, it adds weight to the conclusions I've already drawn.  This is irritating, not to mention unfair to the other entrants. Accordingly, I've removed the offender's names from the pool and will be watching closely for others in future contests.

That's all for this public service announcement; back to more book reviews tomorrow.
