Second Acacia Signed Hardback Giveaway...
has been decided! Thank you to everyone that joined my Forum and threw their name in the helmet. Yes, the helmet. Please view the official contest photographs, in which the process is documented...
Here we see the contestants' names, on roughly equally-sized tabs...
Here we see the vessel of the Fortune, as held by my son Sage (He of the Big Hair.)...
(The Vessel, by the way, is my old Whitewater Kayaking helmet. Still fits, right enough, although it's most used now a days by my daughter as she skateboards. She eschews pink, see. She'll have nothing to do with Princesses. She rather prefers black. I think, honestly, that I enjoyed Enchanted more than she die. Anyway...)
He of the Big Hair offers the vessel to the Judge, the Decider, the... Picker of Winners. (That's my daughter, Maya.) She approaches like an agent of doom. (You'd think it was bad thing to get free book, by the looks of her!)
She reaches for the winner...
Oh, wait!.. Sage realizes the pot has not been sufficiently stirred. (Note the focussed expression and the blurred rapidity of his stirring technique...)
And then... Maya chooses. She does so with eyes closed, using nothing but her innate Picker clairvoyance to guide her hand...
And after all that, she emerges with the winner...
His name be... SCOTT. Congratulations, Scott. I'll be contacting you soon.

Hey, congrats to Scott!
*Lucky b.....*
;)
Blast!
Congrats, Scott.
Hmm. Seem to have spelled my name wrong.
I usually spell it DIRK but people often use the American spelling of SCOTT.
:)
Funny thing is he was the second to the last person to throw his name in. Almost didn't happen, but evidence that it pays to play...
Dirk, you make me laugh.
