I just sent off an email notifying

SUSAN DOW

that she is the randomly chosen winner in the drawing for an autographed copy of the upcoming book, Style, Sex, and Substance: 10 Catholic Women Consider the Things That Really Matter!  Congratulations!

I’m going to say that again, just in case Sue didn’t receive my email, since it had the words “winner” “randomly chosen” and “sex” in it, and I don’t know how strict her email filters are, what with all her kids at home:  the winner is SUE DOW.

Yep, I’m calling her “Sue,” not Susan.  Yep, I know she has a bunch of kids.  Because  . . . she goes to my church.  She lives, like, one town over.  Isn’t that crazy?  Folks from several different continents entered, but hers was the name that was chosen randomly, with a random number generator!  I love it when stuff like that happens, and it couldn’t happen to a nicer lady, either.

So Sue, at your convenience, please email me your mailing address.  Or I could just hand it to you next time we park right next to each other.

To everyone else:  thanks so much for entering.  I was really delighted to see nearly 500 entries.  I will be having a second giveaway in a couple of weeks.  Thanks again!
