UPDATE: CLAIRE BOOK WINNERS ANNOUNCED!
Here are the winners of the big BOOK giveaway! If you’re a winner, please email me your name, address, and who you’d like Christine to sign the book to. Email me at ktplant “at” gmail “dot” com, so that I can have Christine autograph your book, and send it to you.
Winners:
Shelley Dawson Hendershot (I believe Shelley commented on every SINGLE blog, and put it on facebook about seventeen times, so she had LOTS of chances to win!)
Susan L. Morrison
Rebecca Sweet
Laura Matthews
Eleanor Erickson
(These winners were randomly drawn from the pool of entries that followed the contest instructions below. Some of them also wrote blog posts, but they tweeted, facebooked or told their friends about it, according to instructions! Thank you for playing! Enjoy the books!)

Wow, good job putting all of this together! I think I may have to go take a picture of the book in the “wild” and then buy it while I’m there!

OK. fanned/liked the book page on Facebook. I commented on cakewrecks (Szventh @ livejournal comment). I commented on Bek’s photo on the Claire de Lune Facebook page. I commented about the Mask’s blog, but I put my questions on the Mask’s facebook page, so that might not count for an entry. I think that is all I got. And I howled on Facebook a lot. And called friends and wished them “Happy Werewolf Day” 🙂
Thanks for this, it was fun!
We are all for werewolves. Very colorful creatures:-)
The best of luck with your launch!

Katie. I like the idea of the blog tour.
Good luck!

I am glad to see how much the blog list grew during the day itsself.
Thanks for the book! In all honesty, I didn’t actually comment on every single blog. I think I missed two or three because the sign in requirements were something that I didn’t have and I wasn’t very expermintal at one in the morning. I loved the whole thing!
