The KAIROS giveaway has come to a close, leaving in its wake ten fine folk destined to receive a free copy in the mail.

Whoo hoo!

Realistically speaking, the books will ship on Saturday, each one carefully labeled to the addresses that you, dear winners, listed in your entries.

Admittedly my secret dream is that the winners, who abide in states ranging from sea to shining sea, will each post a review and rate my book. When it comes to book reviews, I value the opinions of strangers far more than those of friends and family. Objectivity is hard to find in this world, so I take it where I can.

To those of you who didn't win ...there will be other chances with other books, and some of them mine! I'm not prolific, (an ox-is-slow-but-the-earth-is-patient sort of thing), and good things come to those who wait.

And here's a bit of trivia to chew on, seeing as it's late and sometimes I fall asleep best while ruminating over trivial things: who said, "the ox is slow but the earth is patient?" Can you name the movie ... and the actors?
