And the winner is…#1, Jet. I realize that random number generators of any type can indeed come up with the first or last number, but this is the first time in the ARC contests that it’s happened. Congratulations to the winner!
So….I need a snail-mail address for the winner. Email me from the contact form on the website with a subject line of ARC winner so if it happens to fall into a junk mail basket, I can find it easily.

In winter drear and dark,
Doth Jet trill like a lark,
for he has won an ARC,
O happy one!
[Forgive me if that should be she; obviously I cannot quit tell by the name. And if you should happen to be in the southern hemisphere!]

For an ARC competition poetic
Our thinking became quite frenetic.
We put our work in,
But Jet had a win
To the envy of fans cognoscetic.

Couplets and quatrains and limericks, oh my!

DEEPLY envious! Why do random numbers never pick me – it’s weird, they almost never do, yet both my father and my daughter (should have caused her to enter, too) both win this sort of thing far more often than chance would allow.

Annabel – there are some good SF stories about ‘lucky’ people… never heard the opposite though – here’s a challenge – SF story that relies on someone being unnaturally unlucky….

Gareth,
Didn’t Robert Heinlein do one of those? No you’ll have me go looking.

WHAT? June?
Weren’t the last ones february issues?
Darn, that is going to be a long wait! 🙁
Oh well, time enough for a reread. 🙂
Comment by Naomi — January 9, 2013 @ 3:38 am
As Sharidaan says, time enough for a reread, several rereads, many rereads until the magic date. Congrats Jet, but green with jealousy!

@Sharidann – Yes, previos books were released in February, but this one was put off until June due to New Editor(tm) wanting to read All The Books before reading this one.
Comment by Kerry aka Trouble — January 9, 2013 @ 6:15 am
Grrr – that should have said previous books
