First things first. The answer I was looking for in the Somewhereto Start From treasure hunt was: “In the night, Helen’s brave friends
deconstructed the counterfeit hotel”. No, I’ve no idea what it’s supposed to
mean, either.
I had a good response to the competition, with over 50
correct entries coming in. I had initially thought it might attract a lot more
than that, but as I found out it isn’t easy to motivate people to join in with a
promotion like this, even if you’re not charging anything and you’re offering a
decent prize. Still, I’m very grateful to everybody who took the time to enter
and also to my friends who helped spread the word via Facebook links and
Twitter re-tweets. It’s great to know there’s a little network of hugely
supportive people out there that are prepared to step in and help me avoid falling
flat on my face.
So, without further ado... the results, as selected by
Random.org’s random sequence generator!
Congratulations to Jane Retallick from Bristol, holder of
ticket number 34 and winner of £50 to spend at Amazon. The second number on the
list was 44, which means Amanda Saint from London received the £10 runner-up
prize. Well done to you both; I hope you enjoy your purchases.
Thank you again to all the entrants; I really appreciate the
interest many of you have shown in my writing.
Also, in a lovely demonstration of the theory that what goes
around comes around, I've just won £50 worth of book tokens in the National Book Tokens
/ Indiebound UK promotion. Whoo-hoo!

Well done to the winners - and you, Dan.
I thought this was a great idea, Dan, and how lovely that you won something too.
