Congratulations!

The winner of autographed copies of both volumes of The Writer’s Lexicon is John M. Donovan.

About John:

With a keen ear for dialogue and a commitment to exploring timeless themes, John M. Donovan offers thoughtful and entertaining novels full of characters we can all relate to. His newest book, The Rocheville Devil, is the story of a man who becomes a bit too obsessed with his innocent childhood memories.

You’ll find John on Facebook and Twitter, and just for fun you can start a pool and guess when he’ll update his blog at http://www.hillsboropublishing.com. Could be tomorrow, could be September—who knows?
