Should I make this post like one of those aggravating internet recipes, where you have to wade through the history of each ingredient before it finally tells you how to make the freaking thing? No. Those drive me nuts, too. So without further blah-blah, here’s who won my extra copy of Doll Parts, the delightfully…

Hi Nancy,
Thanks for sharing my post. I’m so happy to have you as my latest Author of the Month.
You were chosen based on the number of visitors to my feature/review of your book, combined with the number of shares and comments for the previous month according to my blog stats.
So it really is in an Indie Author’s best interest to share the post and interact with the commenters, and there is certainly no shame in promoting my post to all your fans!
Congrats again!
Gina
