This contest has closed. Thanks for playing and watch for the winner to be announced tomorrow morning.
WHAT AM I WINNER: (The image is a SEA URCHIN): Not as many entries because I think many found it just too hard to guess. Only 89 entries, and of those, 26 guessed correctly. Of those 26, Random.org chose #7, Lydia Lehman, as the winner. Congratulations, Lydia. But not to worry. This week you have a chance to win one of the brand-new books in this character quiz. Keep reading…

I’m embarrassed at how long it took me to post a new character quiz. But check out the PRIZE for the winner of this quiz: Your choice of either the new book 7, Other Tales from the Circle C Ranch or the BRAND-NEW book 8 (not even releasing until next month), More Tales from the Circle C Ranch. My author copies come this week, so you will win a new book nobody else can buy yet. When I announce the winner next Thursday, I hope to have a link to my Circle C webstore, where you can buy book 8 a whole month before it releases!
The entries with the most right answers will be combined into a random drawing. I wish I could send all of the winners a copy of the new book, but that is just not possible. I only have a limited number and need them for fun things like . . . giveaways (coming soon!)

Just one quick question: I believe that I read on the blog several years ago that you were considering changing the answer to question 20 between the older and newer editions of the book. Is that the case, and if so, what would you recommend to someone who only has the original edition? I know the answer to the question in my copy, but I wasn’t sure if it would be different or not!
Thanks!

Don’t worry about it. The two editions barely differ as far as Jack is concerned.
