Well, Anne has dropped the ball and can’t tell you about Santos (that’s him over there on the left) personally because she can’t find his book.

This will give you some idea of the state of her office (CHAOS!), and she sends apologies to The Man Himself because she remembers hearing about his story as Kate was writing it (and drooling over him, she says, which I find disgusting, but what can I say?)

Anyway, she will find it, she assures me, and write about it while it is still on the shelves (which it will be until late February). So if you don’t win a copy, don’t despair. You can go buy one — and Kate will be pleased.

So will Santos, provided he can be distracted from the right sister who is now his bride!

Today, in case you haven’t noticed — is January 21st. The last day to enter the 3rd annual Here Come The Grooms Contest.

This means that Anne will probably snatch the blog back and send me on my way (not a hardship, though I’ve enjoyed being here, but I’ll have more time to spend with Ally when I’m not writing blogs) — and we’re going to celebrate the news of a prospective little Antonides coming along in a few months (Yiayia will be over the moon — she likes the notion of great-grandchildren, and the more the better. But mine will be the best looking, she tells me!).

So, details below for entering if you haven’t already done so.

There are three questions and to win you have to answer all the questions and email your answers to Anne, to Kate and to Liz. Each of them will pick a winner and that winner will get a copy of each of the these books.

Here are the questions:

1. PJ left New York after he graduated from high school. Where did he go?
2. Who was Santos supposed to be marrying?
3. What scent did Jago recognise?

You’ll find the answers in excerpt on Anne’s, Kate’s and Liz’s websites and you’ve got until January 21 to send in your answers.

Got it? You’ll find “contact me” links on Kate’s, Liz’s and Anne’s websites, too. Use those to email them– all three of them with all three answers, don’t forget. Good luck!

I get to come back and announce the winners, so you haven’t totally got rid of me. Ally might come, too. Go for it.
