Next week I will reveal my Author & Member winners. I must go through the EXHAUSTIVE topic to see who all has been playing along, commenting, and reviewing to make sure I don't miss a single soul. Authors, your stories will be revealed under your names shortly so you can reply to your readers. Feel free to keep using the Secret Author Contest Talking Topic or here if you want to compare your guesses to the real authors!

A huge thank you to all the authors that made this year's Secret Author contest such a success. Your lies and deceit only made it that much better of a year :P 

Congratulations to @chris191070 and @BentedWreath for not only guessing correct but also for having such a knowledge of multiple authors :worship: 

To the readers, all the commentors, reviewers, editors, beta readers, you all have a huge importance in making this what it is. I'm curious how many authors have been following along and motivated to toss their hat in the ring next year?  :yes: 

Biggest hug to Cia for all the effort and time she puts in that makes this so great every year. She says time off from her day job which is August to June, but she doesn't mention that she is in classes and courses and conferences 9 days a week on her 'time off' :hug:

Many congratulations to you great authors and many thanks. As a keen member of your reading public I have to say it has been both fun and a challenge, in some cases, to read you all.   
ps I’m kicking myself now after @Mark Arbour told us he had been on a cruise… argh.  
 

But I have to publically congratulate @leshwar for such a wonderful, wonderful story.  It was so moving for me,  thank you

 

Thank you. You guys have been simply awesome. I enjoyed writing Ceramic Dreams and I'm so happy that you liked it. Hugs to everyone for all your love and praise.
