I’ve sitting here all morning, dying to dip my hand into the hat and pick out a name so I could see who was going to win this! But I’ve been patient, working away on the edit of Frozen (which is now called Ice Breaker) instead.

However the time has come at last. Line up the hat, Lian. Close your eyes. Dip in your hand …

And the winner is … Oops, dropped it on the floor. Try again.

And the winner is – Patsy, Georgia and Verity! (They were all in the same message.) I think they live in Queensland – I once sent them some bookplates. Guess I’d better email them and see if they still want an advance copy of Path of Beasts. Maybe they’ve forgotten about it. Maybe they’ve changed their minds. 😀

You know, I really enjoyed pulling that name out of the hat. Maybe I’ll do another one. After all, I DO have another advance copy to give away …

But not today. I’ll be away next week, visiting some schools in northern and north western Tasmania. (One of them, Avoca Primary School, only has 26 students in the whole school!)

So, when I come back, I’ll draw out another name. That’ll be next Friday, round about this same time. Keep watching, folks. Even if you missed out this time, you might get the next one!

P.S. Congratulations, Patsy, Georgia and Verity! I hope you enjoy the book.
