I’ve thoroughly enjoy reading all your giveaway submissions for the Clean Sweep graphic novel release last week.
We’ve clearly all given thought to what we would do if we discovered inns were real and we could visit one – and Napoleon was right on the money when he said (sort of) that a Horde marches on its stomach. Because for the most part, our dreams revolved around Orro’s kitchen hehe.
The sticker winners were chosen with a random number generator and I will contact you all privately for details of where you wish your prize mailed. If we do not hear back from you by Friday, March 15th, we will choose different winners, so please keep an eye out on the blog or your social media private messages.
Winner Entries
1. Susanna: First thing would probably be to see what kind of room Dina would make me, but after that I would go to eat something Orro made. From Finland.
2. Dafne: I would ask Orro for a dish, the most delicious chicken in the galaxy! I am from Mexico.
3. Cindy Cripps: First thing is a delicious breakfast by the Red Cleaver Chef – eggs 3 ways and donuts (strawberry please). Second walk in the orchard and pick apples. Third go sit by the pool. I’m in Canada.
4. Shannon: I would eat Orro’s food because if anyone can make gluten free, nut free, dairy free taste good, it would be him!! I live in Yokosuka Japan.
5. Karen: The first thing that I would do upon visiting the Inn would be to look at the portrait of Dina’s parents to be sure that I didn’t recognize them. I know that Dina would appreciate the answer and recognition of her dedication to the search. I also really want to know what happened to them! Manitoba, Canada
Congratulations to all, and to everyone who didn’t win: keep your eyes on the blog for more surprises!

Looking at the time stamps trying to figure out how that works. Because it could mean there actually is another universe alongside, and therefore potentially an Inn.
Moderator R says
How what works 😀

OK, reading too fast? I read her post as 9:35. My brain is fried from so many things right now. Clearly I need to read three or four times to get it right. This is not normal for me. Normal is not normal for me either, of course.
Pang says
Wow, it’s so awesome to see how global the horde is. Congrats to the winners!
jing says
congratulations!!!

Hmm, I must have missed the post with the announcement about the contest! Was it for international readers only, or is it pure coincidence that all winners are from outside the US?
Moderator R says
The contest was up last week and yes, international only https://ilona-andrews.com/blog/happy-book-birthday-clean-sweep-graphic-novel-and-giveaway/. The publsiher ( Andrews McMeel Publishing) ran one that was US-only, which was also made public on the blog here https://ilona-andrews.com/blog/clean-sweep-graphic-novel-reveal/

BDH rocks! Great answers!!
Tink says
Does the Inn have a pool? I don’t remember reading that. Not that she wouldn’t be able to add one easily enough. I’m just wondering what wet Orro smells like. We know what Sean would smell like if he shifted before going in the pool.

they swim in the pond in the backyard:
“They reached the pond where the stone path curved around the water. The pond took up a whole acre, a shallow, crystal-clear body of water with a large flat rock jutting out a few feet from its left shore. Little fish darted in the cool depths, and brilliant water lilies bloomed on the surface. Stone benches along the path offered places to rest. This was Sean’s favorite spot. When the inn had a lull of visitors, we came here to swim in the pond, sunbathe on the hot rock, and drink beer.” SotH chapter 17

Congrats to all. It is so wonderful to see that the BDH is universal (well, for us until we visit Gertrude Hunt)

The only good thing about today was finding a copy of sweep of heart at the local booksale. Sadly it looks like the local library got rid of the first book of the series. Now im trying to decide if I want the copy when I have the omnibus edition. Congrats to all the winners!
Breann says
Yes. Yes, you do. 😉
Tempest says
Congrats, winners!
Did anyone suggest we hold a BDH con at the Inn? I think that’s the only venue that could handle us. 🙂

Congrats to all the winners! I got a kick out of seeing Yokosuka mentioned. My cousin Shellanie lives there.
Minna says

Maria says
My reaction too😊 Always wondered if there is other Finns in BDH.
Ash says
Congratulations!
Cindy Cripps says
Such a happy moment. Now to decide what to do with the lovelies when they arrive. So happy.
Dafne C says
OMG! I am so excited, thank you very much! ❤️ And yes, I would hire Orro in a blink of an eye if I could!
