Okay, Big-Dang Book Cover Fans! The poll is closed and the results are in:
So, here's what we have for a winner's list:
- Bryan Thomas Schmidt: In the Name of Honor (due to my setting that one aside before coming up with the idea for this contest.)
- Terry Lynn Shull: The Sky's the Limit
- Josh Ward: Creative Couplings
- 8of5: Constellations
- Ronny Corral: Foundations
- Johnny Blues: Summon the Thunder
That leaves Mary Jane Hetzlein and James Gillespie who each received fewer votes for than other participants vying for the same covers (Sorry, folks :<). But, I said no one who sent in a pic would be left empty-handed, so you two can choose from the remaining covers (A Time to Sow, A Time to Harvest, and Paths of Disharmony). I've also found some interesting goodies to divvy up when I package each cover for mailing.
Which brings me to the next point: I need mailing addresses! Please e-Mail me those (daytonward AT kc DOT rr DOT com) while I figure out exactly how I'm going to get these things to you without them being destroyed in transit.
Thanks to you seven hearty souls for participating in the contest, and to everyone who took the time to vote. I may cook up another contest of some sort in the near future.
