Well, hot damn.<\/p>\n

Got some great entries from the writer’s group photos. We actually had 19 different entries from around the country — and actually, around the world, since one such group is based in Dublin. (Click here to see all the photos<\/strong><\/span><\/a>! No, really. They’ve got pole-dancing. Miley Cyrus. Various weapons. Rubber duckies. Die Hard. Booze. A police line-up. And more!)<\/p>\n

But, of course, my job here is to choose a winner.<\/p>\n

Which is tough! Because so many cool writing groups.<\/p>\n

But, I had to embrace the spirit of\u00a0ass-kicking<\/em> that comes with the book.<\/p>\n

And as such, I’ve chosen to\u00a0split<\/em> the prize between two writing groups.<\/p>\n

Reason? Both groups sent photos that embodied KICKING WRITERLY ASS.<\/p>\n

The two winners:<\/p>\n

Writers Under the Arch, and the Valkyries. Respective photos below:<\/p>\n

and —<\/p>\n

It was a tough call, but there you go.<\/p>\n

Way this works is, I’m going to split the 10-book haul between the two groups and you can fight over who gets what internally. Since you are all clearly armed to the teeth with various bladed weapons, I expect this battle to be epic and brutal and put immediately on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Those of you who sent me the group photos: hey, I’m going to email you.<\/p>\n

And congrats!<\/p>\n

Everybody else: you were awesome, the choice was tough.<\/p>\n

Keep kicking ass just the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
