ReplyDeleteMark, thanks so much for being a genuine person, father, and author! And thanks for bringing this contest to us year in and year out. So many great authors have gotten exposure over the life of this contest.
ReplyDeleteDo you know when the next contest is opening up? If so, where can prospective entrants enter?
Thanks!
