Announcing Winners of my Book & SBD Giveaway :)

A few days ago, to celebrate reaching 1,000 followers I announced I would be giving away 3 copies of my book of short poems, Barely There (provided recipients lived in the US) as well as small SBD prizes.

Thank you, to all who expressed interest, for your good cheer and kind comments. I did not expect the selecting process to be this difficult, so I've had to bend the rules a little ;) I've thrown in another book and Steem as a small bonus, and would like to gift electronic copies of my books to several others.

So, without further ado, the winner of the first prize is @natureofbeing, artist/seeker, who graciously donated her SBD prize so another winner outside the US could get a physical book.

In second place is another artist, poet @prydefoltz, a gifted short-form writer and also seeker, who I think would appreciate both brief form and spiritual content of my book of poems.

In third place is motivational writer, @motivationmob, who wishes to present my book as a birthday gift to his 82 year old grandfather in order to give him a push to, finally, write his own!

Lastly, I could not resist sending a paperback copy & Steem to @gamesandcrypto who tells me his 14 year old daughter is an avid writer (and straight A student) & my writing will motivate her :)

I've gone ahead and transferred SBD & Steem to your accounts and am happy to drop your books off in the mail, once I have your mailing addresses. (Please, contact me on Discord or Steem Chat).

Congratulations, and I do hope that you enjoy my slim volume of poems! If so, I would be happy to hear from you, down the line, and learn what you/your grandfather and daughter thought of it :)

Now, is the tricky part. Because I was quite moved by your responses, value your friendship and/or your art, I would like to gift e-copies of my book to the following 12 Steemians. If you accept, kindly provide me with an email address that I can use:
