Winners of the favorite character(s) contest

Today I announce the winners of the "Who is your favorite character(s) from my books and why?" contest. BTW -- Scroll down to Saturday's entry -- I got the map of Raine's world to load. Click on it for a larger version.
Back to the contest. Picking the winners was a tough decision. My criteria for the winning entries was how interesting and just plain cool they were, as well that having that certain "je ne sais quoi." All of the entries were great and obviously a lot of thought went into them. And if the winners don't mind, I'd like to post their winning entries for everyone to enjoy.
(drum roll) And the winners are:
Emily Haas is the 1st Place winner. Her favorite characters were A'Zahra Nuru, Phaelan, and Prince Chigaru. Wonderful, in-depth character analysis, and she brought up some points that even I hadn't thought of. Bravo! Emily wins a t-shirt with the cover of The Trouble with Demons.
Susy Pinnington is the 2nd Place winner. I chuckled all the way through her hysterical take on Phaelan. Loved it! Suzy wins an autographed cover flat as well as a fridge magnet for The Trouble with Demons.
Suzane Ritch is the 3rd Place winner. Her favorite "character" was the world the books were set in. Well done and very original. Suzane wins a collection of fridge magnets for all three of my books as well as signed and personalized postcards and bookmarks.
Emily, you're the only one I don't have a mailing address for, so if you'll email me, I'll get your t-shirt in the mail to you.
Winners, also email to let me know if it's okay for me to post your winning entries for everyone to enjoy.
Congratulations! And thank you to all of you who entered. BTW -- For those of you who entered the contest, you all get prizes, too. If you would like signed & personalized bookplates or bookmarks for yourself and/or friends, just email me with your address and I'll send those to you. I enjoyed everyone's entries. : )

Congrats for everyone! Yay!

The map looks very cool - will check in detail later.

Lisa...would love a book plate if you could manage that for me.

Okay, so I just screamed, jumped up and down, and ran around the room. I am so excited!!! (Sorry, I needed to have a total fangurl moment).

It's totally fine with me if you post my entry. I might have saved a Word copy of it somewhere if that will be helpful. I'll go ahead and drop you an email with my address.

Thank you so much, Lisa!

Yunaleska, email me with your mailing info.

K.C., there'll be plenty of other contests. And you did enter the "Name that Bordello" contest. ; )

Emily, Wow, I've inspired a "fangurl moment" -- I must be a REAL author now. ; )
