Aw, shucks.

So The Iron Duke is out of the DABWAHA tournament, but I want to say THANK YOU so much to everyone who voted, who stuck with it after their brackets began bleeding, and who spread the word. You managed to bring in an amazing number of votes, and I'm so very, very appreciative. The Iron Duke had a lot more going for it than DorkPower, and that was the support of its readers. I can't say how much it means.

But I can say how I'm going to try to pay you back for that support: by using that DorkPower and putting it behind more of your favorite books. I'm going to change this bribery newsletter into a monthly newsletter made up of recommendations made by readers -- made by you.

If you have a book that recently knocked your socks off, you can go to my site and fill out this form (http://meljeanbrook.com/dorkpower). Every month, I'll take each of those entries, put them into this newsletter, and mail it out through this list. 

If you don't want to receive that DorkPower list, you can unsubscribe from this list now. I don't want to spam anyone! I just want to give other great books some of the buzz that you gave to The Iron Duke. 

Also, I just really love the logo.
