And The Twallenge Winners Are...

Here are the Twallenge winners - and a surprise! We have a Top Three and more. In the democracy of Frank's team, Emma Gibson had votes from everybody. Jon Sadler had enough votes to make it into the Top Three. Much lobbying went behind Heatherhaze, so she's a winner too. And here's the surprise. So many of the team - and the lobbyists - voted for each of JeanLouise Finch's first sentences that we're awarding her an extra prize - in fact, if you want to make a hierarchy of winners, Finch is Number One, Emma Gibson Number Two, Jon Sadler Number Three and HeatherHaze Number four - and each will receive an audiobook of Venetia Kelly's Traveling Show written and read by yours truly.

Thank you everybody - for all your tweets and twitters and good nature and excellent lines - I wish there could have been more prizes but I'm only a poor struggling author like the rest of you! 

@jeanlouisefinch Dad was only halfway through his first scotch and he was already crying.

@jeanlouisefinch Edward Witworth went to Yale and he did not wear it lightly.

@ealvarezgibson She was out swimming the night Carrickton burned.

@JON_SADLER The legend about a century old private sanatorium hidden deep in the Jungfrau was probably just that, but I had to be sure he was dead

@HeatherHaze Cries of joy erupted as the last lotto ball came up on TV. We just won $40 million, and all I could think of was, "Oh God, not again."

Ah! Lovely news! Thank you, Frank and Frank's Team!

[Heather Haze]

Wow! Paint me pink (as in tickled)! Thank you Frank, and everybody who chimed in on my behalf. I can't wait to enjoy Venetia Kelly's Traveling Show. It will really spice up my late-night walks around the asylum. Thanks!

[Jon Sadler]

That's really great! Although I think I tried to sell an idea rather than a first line! I'll have to write the rest now!

[Jean Louise Finch]

WOW... thanks i think i really WILL write a novel now.

Is your name really Jean Louise Finch alias "Scout" from "To Kill A Mockingbird" or is it a pseudonym?
