Contest Results - “Rose by any other name…”
Mar 31st 2007
Karen RoseOn Writing!
We got 256 original entries. It was gruelingly hard to judge. I laughed until I cried. Then I waffled, which I am wont to do. Then I said, “Oh, heck, I can’t choose two!”
So this is the deal: I chose the hero I liked best, the heroine, and because I write nasty murdering villains, I picked 2 villains. So four people get books, two get Julia’s and two get mine. I choose who gets which book at random and nobody moans after the fact. Winners should please send me their addresses at: karen@karenrosebooks.com so we can send their contest prizes. Put GODDESS in the subject line so I know you’re not trying to sell me body part enlargers or slimmers. I added the runners-up after the winners.
THANK YOU to everybody who entered. I loved them all! You’re all GODDESSES!
And the winners are … Drumroll please!
Best Heroine: Amanda Snugglewythe by KMB25
Best Hero: Eli Zontopper by ladydawgfan
Best Villain (Tie): Anita DeMoola by Kasey AND Hunter DeKeeler by SuzyQ
Honorable Mention (but no prize, sorry): Best couple - Eileen Dover and Phil Oph (tragic lovers from “It Happen’d On A Clifftop)
Runners up:
Best Heroine: Amanda Dew by Erica, Sharon DeLove by Kasey, Lady Bettina Thyes by ladydawgfan
Best Hero: Howell Endowed by Kasey, Neal Down by KimW, Justin Thyme by Sara
Best Villain: Ivan T. Hurtya by Kelly Ann and Viola Notsonice by KMB25 (this was my husband’s favorite, btw)
Again, thanks to everyone who made our second Goddess contest such a success!

Ooooh, thank you!!!! Wow!!! This is GREAT!!!
I LOVED this contest!! I sat there at work giggling over the names, and several times my co-workers looked at me and asked what I was laughing at!!! “Just something on the internet . . .”
My e-mail is on its way to you, Karen. Thank you again!!

Glad to be a runner up. The best part is that Justin Thyme is the little brother of a girl I went to college with, Summer Thyme. Seriously.
