It’s usually the person having the birthday who gets the presents. But in this case, it’s some of the guests who came to the Happy Birthday to “The Darcys of Pemberley” party – so I guess we could call them party favors. I appreciate all of you who dropped by and expressed interest in my books. I hope that, whether you won one or not, you will read The Darcys of Pemberley, For Myself Alone, Mr. Collins’s Last Supper, and my future publications. It’s a delight to share my stories and especially to hear that people have enjoyed them!

Now without further ado, Here are the book winners:

1. Alicia Fontaine
2. John C. Pelkey
3. Kelli H.
4. Danielle C.
5. Lori

And the grand prize – the hand annotated copy of The Darcys of Pemberley – goes to Amy B.!

Congratulations! You have until September 15th to claim your prize. Email me (shannon(at)shannonwinslow(dot)com) and tell me which book you want and in what format. Give your mailing address for paperbacks (and how you would like your book signed/personalized). If you already own both my current novels (John, this means you) we’ll have to come up with something special. How about an advanced reader copy of Return to Longbourn when it’s available?

They had a very fine day for Box Hill; and all the other outward circumstances of arrangement, accommodation, and punctuality, were in favour of a pleasant party.  (Emma, chapter 43)
