Winners!

  • Feb. 20th, 2008 at 11:33 AM

Earlier in the month, I announced my Pick That Slogan contest, asking people to send me up to three different slogans containing up to six words each of something funny/clever for me to write inside books at signings. And wow, did you guys come up with amazing slogans! I have to tell you, I love these contests. I have so much fun opening my email and seeing the outrageous, hilarious things you guys think up - some of which are too explicit for me to post online ;)
 
Of course I had a hard time narrowing down the entries. All the slogans were far better than anything I could come up with, trust me when I tell you that. It took me days to get the entries down to my top ten favorites, and then choosing the final three out of those was really tough.
 
So, because I had such a hard time choosing between those final ten and would have been gleeful at using any of them, I'm offering the writers of those last seven entries copies of Halfway to the Grave signed with their wonderful slogans. I wish I had more ARC's of One Foot in the Grave to give, but seriously, I won't even have a copy for myself to keep, lol. Of course, the three winners will receive a signed advance reading copy of One Foot in the GraveTHANKS SO MUCH to everyone who entered the contest. You really made me smile with your creativity, cleverness, and naughtiness!
 
Top Seven Honorable Mentions: (email me with your address, guys, for a copy of Halfway to the Grave signed with your slogan!)

They really were, and of course, there were more than ten great ones. SO hard to narrow them down.
