Why do I have these kinds of contests and do this to myself? How can I possibly choose just one when so many of your comments were awesome?

My answer? Don’t choose just one--choose thirteen!

Here are the thirteen winners and their character roles. As you can see, twelve of them fit a pattern. But you’ll all have to wait until The Kiss of Kismet comes out in February to find out how I’m using all these names and their fictitious characters. I’ll tease you by saying a few of my friends have been egging me to have this story line for a while in an Anabel book, so now they’re getting their way.

For those of you not winning this go around--thank you so very much for contributing your characters. Luckily, I’ll be writing many more books and you’ll have many more chances to be a character in them, too. ;)
