Winners Galore!

Blog & website of children's book author Tara Lazar Winners Galore! Oh, how I adore how patient you’ve all been! Juggling summer vacation, booking  and blogging  is mind-boggling. (Say that 10 times fast.) We have a lot of winners to announce…but first…I’d like to tell you about I THOUGHT THIS WAS A BEAR BOOK ’cause it’s my sophomore outing, and, like sophomore year in high school, I’m really nervous about it! (And I might have a teeny  crush on the boy with the locker next to mine.) I slaved over this Facebook cover image. Seriously, it took me two hours because I kept putting stuff where the portrait photo and menus appear. I got smart and  downloaded a template…but then I  had to rejigger it all…as I was searching  for my lost jigger of salt. (Yes, margaritas were necessary fuel.) For anyone who doesn’t have a photo app on their computer, you can do all this online for free at ipiccy.com. If you’d like to use this image as your Facebook cover photo, I’d appreciate the support! Let me know if you do in the comments. I’ll be giving away three signed copies of BEAR to anyone who shares news of this book. Pre-order info is on Simon & Schuster’s site here. It releases August 4th! AHHHHHhhhhhhhh! And now, without further ado, the winners of all the recent giveaways! Margaritas all around! Winner  of DRESS ME! by Sarah Frances Hardy: NADINE GAMBLE! Winner of FICTION MAGIC card set by Deb Lund: JENNETTE MUTOLO! Winner of WHOSE TOOLS? by Toni Buzzeo: GLORIA!

Winner of art print by Eliza Wheeler: DANA ARNIM! Winners of CAT NAP art prints by Toni Yuly: ERIKA HITCHCOCK ANNA TODARO JOY FRERICHS Congratulations! I’ll be emailing y’all soon! If you didn’t win, don’t worry, I’ve yet to pick lucky folks  for Maria Gianferrari’s book and critique giveaway. That’s coming next week, so there’s still time to enter! Thanks again for visiting my blog. Stay tuned for more summer giveaways! (Sorry, margaritas  sold separately. Some assembly required.)
