FinsFest Winners and Tallies

Thanks to everyone who participated in last week's Festival of Fins in honor of the release of my third book, Forgive My Fins. The characters and I had a blast and I hope you guys did, too.

First order of business is to announce the contest winners! Each winner will receive a signed copy of Forgive My Fins and a special mermaid spa kit (as dreamed up by my lovely editor). Drum roll please....

Congrats to the winners. Please email your mailing info to tlc at teralynnchilds dot com. And tell me if you'd like the book signed to you, to someone else, or generically.

After eight days, seven posts, and a ton of fabulous comments from you guys, we have a grand total for my donation to Oceana. Our comment total (thanks in part to the insane efforts of nymfaux--thanks Jill!) finished up at 699! That means that I will be giving Oceana a donation in the amount of:
$174.75
That is awesome, you guys! Just think, that money will be put to wonderful use to help clean up the Gulf Coast oil spill and protect the oceans for the future. We rock!

I'm traveling a bit for the next few days, so posting will be sporadic. But I'll land in Vegas next week and will be settled there for most of the summer. Dry heat, here I come!

Hugs,
TLC

Congrats to all the winners!!!! Trust me, you'll enjoy it if you haven't read it yet!!!

I'm glad I could help--this was such an awesome idea! And obviously, mermaids along with humans have a huge stake in the outcome of this oil spill.
