Michelle Mach has won a free NOOKColor from Sterling Publishing with this tweet: “I can sketch an earring design in #ThreeSeconds – of course it will take much longer to dig out beads & tools!”
Last week, Sterling Publishing launched a sweepstakes to celebrate the release of Three Seconds–the publisher’s first fiction title. The thriller focuses on split-second life and death decisions, and the publisher asked readers to answer one question: “What can you do in three seconds?”
Nearly 400 people entered the sweepstakes, sharing their stories with hundreds of thousands of Twitter readers. Below, Sterling Publishing singled out ten of their favorite tweets.
