And the winners are . . .

We've passed the mid-point in my blog book tour for The Surest Poison. It's time to draw names out of the hat from those who made comments on the various posts my hosts kindly put up for me.

First, a few statistics. During the eight stops on the tour, there has been a total of 124 comments on the blogs. Today's post is at There's a Dead Guy in the Living Room. I question whether I'm writing murder mysteries or mysteries about murder. Sound a bit obtuse? You'll have to read it to see the point.

Okay, you want to know who are the winners of autographed copies of The Surest Poison. We'll get to that in a minute. First here are the remaining stops on my tour:

Saturday, April 25 – Writers Plot – social issues
Monday, April 27 – Murder by 4 – using sub-plots
Tuesday, April 28 – Poe's Deadly Daughters – interview
Wednesday, April 29 – Acme Authors – Miss Demeanor and Five Felons Poker Club
Thursday, April 30 – Write First, Clean Later – multiple POV
Friday, May 1 – Mysterious Musings – Sid Chance (protag) interview

Okay, now let's open the envelope. What envelope? Sorry, this is a drawing. Okay, here it is, the first winner (drum roll):

Maryann Miller, who left a comment on Marilyn Meredith's blog

And the second winner:

Mark Troy, whose comment appeared on Helen Ginger's blog yesterday (you just sneaked in, Mark).

Congratulations to the winners, and remember, there's a final drawing on May 1. Good luck and keep those comments coming.
