June 10, 2009

Congratulations, Connie K.!

Thank you so much, Ms. Minichino!

How neat is this?!? I just received this letter from Camille Minichino (aka Margaret Grace.) For those of you who are new to the site, she had a very generous contest which is described on this entry.

“Thanks to all the friends of Danna who participated in the drawing for a miniature reading/crime scene.

An independent panel (!) chose CONNIE K. (full name withheld in case she doesn’t want to be identified!) Please send your address, Connie, and also let me know your favorite authors so I can include them in the scene.

You’re all eligible for a small prize of promotional pens and rulers. If you’re interested, just send your address and I’ll send along.

Thank you all very much for your interest. There will be another drawing after the 4th book, “Mourning in Miniature” is released in October.

Best,
Camille/Margaret Grace”
