Thank you all so much for stopping by my website to play along in my 12 Days of Giveaways! I’ve been doing this giveaways (in some form or another) for the past 13 years. There are 60,000 comments on this blog (as a whole) and almost all of them are from the 12 Days of Giveaways! lol. And that’s just since 2019 because I had the website redesigned from the ground up and we decided to nuke all old posts to try and keep it manageable.
I mention that because I’m having the website redesigned TOMORROW! Brand new look coming! Hopefully we will be able to keep all the posts and comments, I don’t want to nuke it again. But 60,000 comments is crazy! I think I must have the most active indie author website on the web – THANKS TO YOU GUYS!
I almost didn’t think I’d be able to to the Giveaways this year because I spent most of this year either getting ready to move, moving, traveling in the RV, or settling in. It took up most of my time. But I decided in September when I was waiting for my house to close that I would and immediately ordered $1000 worth of Margo Elena soaps, salt scrubs, and candle tins. (I think I might be their favorite customer! lol)
Anyway, I want to let you know that I will be doing a 12 MONTHS OF GIVEAWAYS for 2026 – a new giveaway on the website for each month (we’ll still do the 12 Days in December too!) Because I’d like ya’ll to come back in a couple weeks and see the new website design.
If you haven’t followed me in some way yet, please consider it using the different ways at the bottom of the post.
Now, congratulations winners!
You made my holiday brighter and I hope I’ve done the same for you!

I feel very lucky to be one of the winners but my favourite part of the giveaways are the Q&As from you and all the Shrike bitches. It’s so nice to get to know you outside of books. You definitely have the best online community. I’m really looking forward to seeing the new website. Looking forward to many more years with you 💗
Wishing you a wickedly great new year.

Thank you for all you do. You’re very generous doing your giveaways. Your Patreon is affordable even for those of us on a fixed income and it focuses on your new books not older ones that many of us already have.
I wish you all the best. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ❤️❤️❤️
