Would would you do with two free books? And other Facebook disasters ;o)

***WINNERS UPDATE***

We have winners, everyone ;o) And I heard from earmuffs! And we’re going to have a week-long blog contest next, starting today (see my next blog post, later this morning) where you can post on FB OR on the blog (or both), and we’ll try not to get thrown in the pokie for raising hell in our bad, bad way.

Until the, Earmuffs had revealed herself to be... Marcia Boswell Carney! Congrats to Marcia, who’ll be receiving two signed copies of Love on Mimosa Lane.

And the bonus signed copy of the book and the $10 Amazon gift card go to… Audra Holtwick! Audro, look for an email from me, asking for your mailing address for your book, and to confirm the email address I should send the gift card to.

Thanks again for playing, everyone, and for being so patient with the FB meltdown. Come out and be naughty with me again in our Release Week 2 Contest (which I have to go post now and share all over Facebook ;o)

**********

Okay, so Facebook has a lot of rules. Evidently my fans having a blast telling me what they’d do with two free signed copies of my spankin’ new Love on Mimosa Lane is against the rules. Either because I didn’t include the magic FB disclaimer words (see below for magic FB disclaimer words), or someone got in a snit and reported our fun as spam (see HATERS).

Anyhoodles, the contest was supposed to end with me announcing the winner…but FB pulled the post and all the entrants, including their FB contact information (see REALLY???). Fear not, I remember the post that made me spit Diet Coke onto my keyboard (see ARGH!). Now all I need is a FB contact to go with the entrant whose answer was something close to:

Given the weather outside, I’d find a way to fashion earmuffs out of them.

OMG. If I could be that funny, that succinctly, that perfectly, I’d make a living as a comedic writer rather than a snarky/angsty one (see NOT A CHANCE IN HELL).

So, “Earmuffs,” If you find your way to this blog post which I’ll be posting all over Facebook (see below again for magic FB disclaimer words), please message me at my Anna DeStefano: Author FB Page and claim your prize.

But there’s more (see SHAMELESS INFOMERCIAL GIRL)! I promised that if you shared our post of shameful FB fun, you’d be in the running for a Bonus Prize: a signed copy of Love on Mimosa Lane AND a $10 Amazon gift card. Can’t leave you hanging on that my friends, even though the details of who shared the original contest post have also been atomized.

Which leaves me to (see DRUM ROLL PLEASE), this real purpose of this blog post, which is to get rid of that dang $10 gift card and signed book burning a hole in my cyber pockets (see ANXIOUS WRITER FLIPPING MIDDLE FINGER AT FB and hoping fans will understand/join her) (see below AGAIN for magic FB disclaimer words):

Comment below, using an email address that can I contact you at if you win,

on how much more fun we can have on my blog, than in some lame FB post that gives us no room to stretch out in.

You have until midnight tonight (Friday, 1/24/14).

One randomly selected winner will receive the prize one of my enthusiastic FB fans should have Wednesday. I’ll do the random selecting. (see below FOR THE LAST TIME, PROMISE!, for magic FB disclaimer words).

Oh, and if you take it upon yourself to share this blog link or one of the FB statuses that will announce it, I’d have no way of tracking it, so it’ s on you, since it’s strictly forbidden for us to have fun that way in any official capacity (see ANNA DOESN’T LIKE TO BE TOLD HOW TO HAVE FUN!).

Any questions?

Anyone else feel better now?
