I won a giveaway for The Painter's Apprentice: A Novel of 16th-Century Venice (Venetian Artisans #1) on December 30th, and still have not received my copy... :( Will I be getting that soonish?

Hi Heather,
Thanks for getting in touch. I apologize for this, but Goodreads made a mistake on this giveaway! Their system was supposed to randomly select one winner. It seems that they transposed the page count of the book (406 pages) for the number of winners. I was shocked to wake up one morning with the message that they had drawn 406 winners instead of one! That was not how the contest was supposed to go…
Due to the error, Goodreads should have sent you an email with some instructions for how you can download a free digital copy of the book. The last thing I want to do is disappoint readers, so I’m happy to offer you an ebook edition of The Painter’s Apprentice, which you can download to your preferred device.
If you didn't get the email, please send me a message directly at laura@lauramorelli.com and I'll respond with instructions.
I’m sorry for the poor experience. I understand that Goodreads is revising their giveaway system and I hope that they will be able to avoid errors in the future.
Best regards,
Laura
