Bonus Winners! Biting Me Softly In Stores blog tour

As promised, I've got a bonus winner for the blog tour! I was so tickled with the response I had to award not one, but two more giveaway winners. Frequent comments do pay off! Those who commented at two or more of my posts this tour (who'd not yet won) were put in a random.org hat. (If you missed the winner recap, it's here.)

Winner gets her choice of a paperback copy of Biting Me Softly (if US or Canada) or any of my Biting Love stories in ebook.

And the winner is Jen B! Congrats, Jen! Please email me at mary@maryhughesbooks.com for your prize.

Now there's one more giveaway I have to make. For the most posts this tour--the winner is Cathy M! Cathy, congratulations! Please email me for your prize!

Thanks again to all my lovely blog hosts, and to everyone who read and commented! You're the best!
