I used the random number generator to pick the contest winners below. Winners, please e-mail me your snail mail address at jennifer@jenniferestep.com.

In the past, I’ve contacted the winners who didn’t e-mail me. However, I’m doing so many guest blogs and other things right now, I just don’t have time to keep up with it. So if you don’t e-mail me by Wednesday, Sept. 10, your prize will either be given to someone else or go back into my goodie stash. So winners, please, please, please e-mail me. It’s for your own good. 😎

Congrats to the winners:

2) An autographed copy of Karma Girl (trade paperback): Jessica (comment #2)

3) An autographed copy of Hot Mama (mass market): Judi (comment #44)

Thanks to everyone for stopping by. I appreciate all your nice words about the Bigtime books, and I found your lucky and unlucky stories really cool. As for me, I think we make our own luck for the most part. But every little bit helps! 😎

HOW TO ENTER

So how do you enter? If you don’t have a blog or Web site, just leave a comment in this post and tell me about your luckiest or unluckiest experience or whether or not you even believe in luck.

If you do have a blog or Web site, post the following info along with the Jinx cover above and leave me a link to your post in the comments section:

She never wanted to be a superhero. Too much danger. Too much spandex …

Bella Bulluci’s big passion is the arts. Her big pain is being born into a family of superheroes. Of course, Bella might feel differently if her own superpower was one she could control – or at least get some use out of. Instead, her power is one of capricious luck – supercharged telekinesis. In other words, static electricity. Bella knows that’s not a power – just a jinx.

During a gala fundraiser for the local art museum, Bella comes upon two things no Bigtime supergirl should be without: an ubervillain of her very own who plans to steal a priceless gem; and a dashing – if slightly shady – stranger named Debonair. He may have a reputation as a notorious playboy, but the real sparks are going to come from Bella, who’s finally going to learn just how well love and danger can go together …

That’s it. You’ve got until Friday morning, Sept. 5 to enter. I’ll draw the winners that afternoon and announce them on the blog. Until then, happy posting and reading! :ww:
