A good news, bad news post

First, the good news. Laura was the winner of the give-away for Derek's CD Kiss on the Wind. Thanks to all who responded, and congratulations to Laura; I actually had Derek draw the winner.

For the bad news, Derek and Cindi did not win the contest. :-( The song that won had over 130,000 votes! Your First came in third (am I allowed to say that?) and received over 71,000 votes, so that was good, just not good enough.

If you need consoling, you can still listen to their song (see sidebar). If you'd like to console Derek, I'm sure purchasing the CD from iTunes would go a long way. Or, you can visit his website and send him your good wishes there.

In book news, I have a review I need to write for The Outcast, and I'm actually fairly near finishing another ARC and the Wally Lamb novel I've been listening to on tape, so stay tuned for several reviews very soon!
