It’s Here! Contest Winners
It’s been a while coming, but today is the official launch date of Sweet Freedom: Desserts You’ll Love without Wheat Eggs, Dairy or Refined Sugar–and the giveaway winners are announced below!
Thanks, everyone, for being so patient about the book and putting up with my many posts about it–and for all your support! It really would not exist without all of you.
If you’re interested in owning a copy (well, except for those eight people listed below, who’ll get one gratis, from me!), I’m thrilled that the book is now available to purchase online through the publisher, Trafford.com. Just like amazon.com, Trafford offers a secure site and will ship anywhere in the world, so please don’t hesitate to use their site if you’d like to order the book!
The book will also be available through amazon.com, but not for another month. 
You can also order the e-book (pdf file), identical to the paper copy except, of course without the paper! Great for those who are trying to save paper (or finances!).
To order either the hard copy or the e-book, simply click on the icon of the book cover, at left.
And now, with the help of Random.org, the winners are:
Paper Books:
- Entry 144: Lynn
- Entry 128: Daniella
- Entry 130: Patti
E-Books:
- Entry 72: Jvegefirl
- Entry 213: Rosie
- Entry 153: Vegan on Stage
- Entry 25: Lindsey
- Entry 240: Emily Stahl
Congratulations, everyone! I’ll send out emails to each of you today to confirm your wins and gather contact information. 
And thanks to everyone for participating!
Congrats to the winners (lucky people!), but most importantly, congrats to you! My gentleman friend being a writer, I know what it takes to get a book from the first little idea spark to the finished product. The day it’s finally out and available is a great day! Enjoy!

Happy book day! I’m really thrilled that Sweet Freedom is now available. I still remember the delightful delicacies you delivered to my office in February. I can’t wait to try out some of the recipes at home. I will have to announce far and wide the arrival of this fantastic vegan baking resource-maybe those planning to enter this year’s Vegan Bake-off can start practicing for the big day.
I hope you’re doing a little dance of joy today.

Congratulations, Ricki! This is so exciting–I hope that you are doing something fun to celebrate

I will have to let my old co-workers know…they have been asking me about it since last fall when we were testing recipes and they got to enjoy all of your geniusness (if that is even a word!)
) They will be thrilled and I know at least some of them will actually buy a copy–yay!
