Thank you all so much for your participation and enthusiasm for The Rebel Housewife Mother's Day/Joshilyn Jackson Book CONTEST! This has, by far, been our most popular give-away to date, with hundreds of rebels out there, eager to enjoy Joshilyn Jackson's books! I am pleased to announce the winner, drawn at random from all of the email entries:
Melissa B. of Marshall, MN
Congrats again, Melissa -- I hope you enjoy Joshilyn's southern flavor up there in Minnesota as much as I do here in Atlanta. (Although I'm a "yankee" in these parts, from the West Coast, and I LOVE Joshilyn's "dysfunctional redneck" (a genre all her own), as I've mentioned before -- you'll love her!)

The signed copies of Joshilyn Jackson's Gods In Alabama, Between, Georgia and The Girl Who Stopped Swimming are on their way to you!

For everybody else, do not despair! We will have more great book give-aways all summer on RebelHousewife.com. My friend at Hachette tells me she's got some fabulous Jane Porter books coming out to us next -- Jane's new book, MRS PERFECT, is a sequel to ODD MOM OUT, and then there's a new movie in production, starring Heather Locklear, based on Jane's earlier novel, FLIRTING WITH FORTY -- so we'll catch ourselves up on Jane Porter this summer, among other things, stay tuned--

The Rebel Housewife Mother's Day/Joshilyn Jackson Book CONTEST!
Deadline to enter is Midnight (Eastern Time) Sunday, May 4th.

Another Fabulous Mother's Day Contest!
Between The Rebel Housewife Contest and our friends at BookReporter.com, you could have your entire summer reading library all lined up!
