oh right

Right. If it wasn’t obvious from that last post, I got copies of WALKING DEAD, book 4 of the Walker Papers, in the mail today. Throw your name in the hat (ie, leave a comment) and I’ll draw 3 numbers & send the corresponding commenters a copy of the book. :)

oh yes, the other contest

Word Warrior Aponi has won the “random draw for a book for people who have donated to Astres’ 10K run”. It is a day of many winnings!

I wish I had about fifteen copies of the anthology to send out, because you did *not* make this an easy choice! I’m going to have to do something cool for…
