Yesterday I printed out and cut up all the entries for the cover contest. Then my grandson folded all the little strips up. I put them in a bowl, and he drew out one name. Ready? Drum-roll:
The winner is Felicia Straley!
Congratulations, Felicia! I will send you The Trouble with Treasure next February 2010, when it is released, along with a vial of real gold flakes.
Thanks, everyone, for playing along. I sent my publisher a summary of your feedback. As soon as Kregel decides on the cover (yes, they get the final decision), I'll post the cover here.
Again, I hope you had as much fun entering as I had reading your responses!

When I saw "Felicia" I thought I had won... there are not too many of us out there. :)
Congrats to Felicia from Felice!
Congrats to the winner. I counted your comments in the previous posting and counted 23 to 32 (that doesn't seem like a 2 to 1 lead). I don't see how them looking off to the distance like they are really conveys adventure. I think if they could put the horse in something similar to the first cover then everyone would be happy - lol - but I know how it is with covers - Good Luck with your series and hope you continue to have wonderful sales - see you in the postings - E :)
