Dear Readers: Thanks for your feedback! The overwhelming majority of responses liked the barn cover best. And, yes, that’s the cover we’re going with!

The winners of a free copy of A Year in the Company of Freaks are: Patsy Claussen and Jessie Nolop. Congratulations, ladies!

We’re burning the midnight oil to get this to print asap. More details will follow soon. No doubt, Freaks will be the perfect gift for that “special” person.

Until then, wishing you all an early very Merry Christmas!
