Fear Not

At the beginning of this month, we announced that we would give away three free copies of Afraid, the brand-new thriller from Jack Kilborn (aka J.A. Konrath). Today, we have the names of the randomly chosen winners of those books:

• Craig Clarke of Hubbardston, Massachusetts
• Sara J. Henry of Putney, Vermont
• Marty McCabe of Cambridge, Massachusetts

Thanks to everyone for entering. And we’re sorry we don’t have more copies of Afraid to hand out. But if all goes well, we should be announcing the start of a yet another free book contest later this week or early next. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: After these results were announced, Sara J. Henry let it be known that she had already received a copy of Kilborn’s Afraid, and was therefore withdrawing from our competition. As a result, the name of an alternative winner--Charlene Burke of Georgetown, Indiana--was drawn at random.

Wow, I should have entered the lottery this month - I won a Garth Stein contest as well. (And what a coincidence that all three winners came from a 100-mile radius of each other.)

But I already received a copy of AFRAID (which was, alas, a bit much for me, who prefers a lighter brand of horror - say King or Koontz or Ira Levin - so I imagine Joe Konrath is chortling at the irony that I just won another copy). So perhaps you could pull a fourth winner from the hat.

Peter, I've prepared I'm Not Sarah Weinman button to wear at my next conference.

Very well, Sara. If you'd like to withdraw from this competition, I'll pick somebody else to win that third free copy of Kilborn/Konrath's new novel. Thanks for letting me know.

Cheers,
Jeff

Hey there *waving madly from behind the monitor*

I read AFRAID, actually finished it in three days because I simply could. not. put. it. down. Wow! What a ride!

I want more. There. I said it. The writing was crisp, the horror was beyond my imagination (very hard to accomplish) and my favorite line in the book is "Dad didn't say there were two bones." Yikes!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am a new fan!

Thanks again :)
