From Larry Roibal, illustrator for As Good As His Word and To Wed A Rancher, SE second and fifth place:

Thank you so much for the kind words. I did check the site and especially liked reading the comments from the romance readers. As a freelancer, it's good to know that my work is connecting to its intended audience.Thank you for hosting the site and for keeping me in the loop of the very good news. As a side note: While checking in sometime last week to see if the results were posted, I noticed someone had nominated another cover of mine for 2012. So I'll stay tuned. Best, Larry

Wow! Thank you so much. I love the Branded cover as well.  I'm so pleased... BJ

From Lenora Worth, author of A Southern Reunion, SE tenth place cover:

...I'm honored to have a cover in the Top Ten. Such fun. And it's hard to beat a cowboy!! Thanks so much! Lenora

From Myrna Mackenzie, author of To Wed a Rancher, SE fifth place cover:

Thank you so much for your message about the cover contest and To Wed a Rancher taking 5th place in the series category. I loved reading the comments! (I hope the artist got to see some of them. I never know who the artists are--except for the one time when Liz Fielding had a cover artist guest on her blog--but they are truly unsung heroes for those of us who write the books). I really appreciate the fact that you hold this contest, and am grateful to all the people who commented and voted. What fun!...Best Wishes, Myrna Mackenzie

From Jillian Hunter, author of A Bride Unveiled, TIC fifth place cover:

Thank you so much for taking the time to send me the results. The comments were fun to read and quite enlightening. And all the covers were lovely in my opinion! Best regards, Jillian

I'm Elizabeth Hoyt's online publicist and we were thrilled to see that SCANDALOUS DESIRES won the "two image cover" (ie: stepback) category of the Cover Cafe Contest. We have a fabulous behind-the-scenes video for her book and I thought I'd forward it to you in case you'd like to share the video along with your announcement.Thanks so much! Brianne

It's a cute tongue in cheek video - be sure to watch it!
