The winner of last week’s prize, a copy of “Your Money: The Missing Manual,” is Cindy Brick. Or will be, if I hear back from her by Monday night.
Cindy: Check your e-mail! I’ve sent two notes and tried to send a third through your personal website (which bounced back).
If you don’t contact me by Monday evening, I will ask the random number generator to draw an alternate winner.
In fact, I’m instituting a new rule. I notify the winner on Monday night or Tuesday morning. If he or she does not respond by Friday, someone else will win.
I know you’re busy, folks. So am I. But I find the time to announce a contest, choose a winner and mail the prize each week. So if you enter the contest, take the additional step of checking your e-mail the next week. You snooze, you lose.
Oh, and if anyone knows Cindy Brick? Tell her not to be a stranger.

I know her and got an email from her yesterday. Just sent her an email to let her know she needs to contact you.
Thanks, Andy. I appreciate it.
Donna, I only give winners 48 hours — then I pick another person. You’re very kind to actually try to track them down.
@Kay Lynn: Thanks. But I’m going to employ tough love from now on.
Let us know if you manage to find Cindy!! Ah no, no tough lofe, you are so sweet. It wouldn’t suit you!!
I’m here, Donna — I’m here! Sorry for the delay — haven’t been checking my e-mail this weekend. (Cleaned the refrigerator out and loaded the dishwasher, instead. My bad.)
Sorry for the frustration I caused. I’m looking forward to reading the book! (Thank you.)
I’m glad Cindy was found…I love a happy ending.
“Cindy Brick, Where Are You?” will be the title of my next book.
@ImJuniperNow: Especially since “Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?” is already taken…
