No. 48 jumped out of the hat. Sort of.

Carolyn from Vermont, the audiobook of Queen of Swords is yours. Please email me with your postal address, okay?

Here’s how I did it this time (still can’t find the hat):

I asked three strangers to pick a number between 1 and 58. I then added those numbers together, and the total was 48. If the total had been more than 58, I would have swung around to the beginning, so that (for example) 60 would have meant that number two on the list would have won.

I think it’s a pretty neat way to pull the number, I have to say.

Stay tuned, I’ll have more stuff to give away soon.

Wise Guys

If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn’t expecting it.
