Congrats to the winners, and to all the entrants—so funny and creative. Special kudos to the creator of “Tempted by PC + Kristin Cast (and Robert Pattinson),” since it looks like there was a tie-breaker there for second place. Well done all!

This contest was so much fun, I almost don’t mind sacrificing my keyboard to Diet Coke Snork Syndrome while reading the entries. I should really know better by now . . .

Thanks, everyone who voted for my entry among all those brilliantly funny choices!

Thanks, also, to Sarah for routing all of us crazies into this exercise! What a mind. Gotta love it. Thanks for the votes, gang, and thank you particularly to Nora R, without whom I would’ve written this book anyway.

Congratulations to the winners! Everyone did a fantastic job on these covers. It was nearly impossible to choose just one to vote for, so thanks to everyone who made one. This is one of those bookmarks I’ll be keeping around in case I need a good laugh in the future.

I’m trying not to wake up my housemates with my nerdy snort-laugh.
