Winners. . .

I had some giveaways end on Valentine’s Day, but took forever to pick the winners.  Sorry about that!

The winner of Anjali Banerjee’s Haunting Jasmine is #3 Linda B, who said, “What an interesting interview and kudos for going for environmentally friends materials. I looked thru the ergonomic tips, good advice! thanks for the giveaway. I’m intrigued by the idea of a bookstore being part of the setting.”

The winner of Sins of the House of Borgia by Sarah Bower is #7 Nan, who said, “I somehow became interested in the Indian Rebellion of 1857. I can’t remember if it was initially through one of MM Kaye’s historical novels or The Raj Quartet.”

Thanks to all the entrants and congrats to the winners.

Giveaway: Sins of the House of Borgia by Sarah Bower

Sourcebooks has found some additional galleys of Sarah Bower’s Sins of the House of Borgia and is offering one of my US/Canada readers a copy.

The book comes out March 8, 2011, and I’m sure you would love to know what the book is about.  Courtesy of the publisher:

“Violante isn’t supposed to be here, in one of the grandest courts of Renaissance Italy. She isn’t supposed to be a lady-in-waiting to the beautiful Lucrezia Borgia. But the same secretive politics that pushed Lucrezia’s father to the Vatican have landed Violante deep in a lavish landscape of passion and ambition.”
