One Year Anniversary of Darcyholic Diversions! Give Away Winners

A Year of Darcyholic Diversions! 
Where Have I Been?
And Announcing MANY Winners from Previously Posted Give Aways!
Hard to believe that it was a year ago this past week that I decided to start a blog!  I have been overwhelmed with the response and the wonderful posts that we have had this year. Friendship that I have made through requesting posts, fun at the Decatur Book Festival and much much more!

February will be a month for Celebrating!  "All For The Love Of Darcy" will be the theme and I will be giving away a Kindle at the end of the month for the best true life Darcyholic story!  So watch for the details in the next few days! But any of you who would like to be included in the gift package by providing an Kindle copy of one or more of your books, please let me know!

Since before Christmas, I was called by family to sit at the death bed of a wonderful man, a World War II hero.  He had been my father and mother died 10 days apart in 2005, but has been in my life since 1984. This wonderful man died on 1/6/13 and I was able to be a part of planning the services, as well as beginning to look at estate issues before returning home.  I thank many of you who have reached out and sent notes, cards, emails, facebook messages, phone calls, etc.  

In honor of this man, who was my father in law, I am working on a post about him, and about some of the World War II/Pride and Prejudice alternative time period stories that have either been written or in the process of being written.This will be a part of my "All For The Love Of Darcy" month long celebration in February!

When I was suddenly called, I left my blog all but completely unattended.  I have missed IT and you.  Today I am catching up with posting winners! IF I have not yet been in touch with you, please let a message below with an email address where I can contact you about receiving your give away!

And The Winners are:

Jeanna E. won Kara Louise's 'A Pemberley Celebration'.
Susie D and Colleen L are the winner's of Sharon Lathan's 'A Darcy Christmas'.
There were 6 winners of Susan Fales-Hill's book 'Imperfect Bliss': RedRose15, Angie K, Michelle F., Maria Grace, Danielle and Julia Ergame.
Krista Raven won Diana Oaks 'One Thread Pulled'.
Jane Odiwe gave away two books: 'Searching for Captain Wentworth' goes to HeatherM and 'Mr. Darcy's Secret' goes to Chelsea.
Linda Gonschior's 'Reflections' goes to Gayle Mills.
C. Allyn Pierson's 'Mr. Darcy's Little Sister Goes to Andrea.
Sally Smith O'Rourke's 'Yours Affectionatley, Jane Austen'  goes to Luthien84 and Susan Adriani.
IF you had a drawing on Darcyholic Diversions and the winner has not yet been announced please email me and I will be sure and get your drawing winner posted soon!

Thanks to all that posted and offered give aways.  As well as all of you who have been loyal followers of Darcyholic Diversions for this past year!

    Welcome back, Barbara, we missed you! I knew from Evie that your father in law was ill, and I'm sorry for your loss. I love the picture you posted - very handsome, indeed. :)

      Monica.

      Thank you so much for your kind wishes. I really WAS hoping to get to visit with you and Evie and Angie, but it didn't work. Glad that you liked the picture of my father in law. He also looks a LOT like my hubby ;).

      It is almost February! Would you like to contribute a post?
