Two weeks ago I announced my first blog giveaway, courtesy the generosity of Irma Gold, editor of the Canberra Centenary anthology, The invisible thread. Irma offered me two copies to give away, both signed by most of the authors represented in the anthology – and who are still living of course! Entries closed midnight, AEST, on 31August.

So, here are the winners, chosen using an Internet-based random number generator:
- AUSTRALIAN ADDRESS winner is Rosemary, the lucky last Aussie to throw her hat in the ring; and the
- OVERSEAS ADDRESS winner is Glenda in Switzerland
Congratulations Rosemary and Glenda … And commiserations to all you others. Thankyou though for showing interest. It’s a shame everyone can’t be winners.
Here is the deal, Rosemary and Glenda. You need to email me, at wg1775[at]gmail.com, your postal address by midnight AEST 7 September, 2013. I will redraw a new winner if I don’t have your address by that deadline.
Once again, a big thank you to Irma for offering this giveaway. … it is a real booklover’s treat.
Oh, and the book can be bought from Fishpond so all is not completely lost.
Whispering Gums 
Wooo Hooo! Thank you so much Sue! Have just e-mailed you my details. Thanks for holding the competition.
This comment is little divergent from your exciting giveaways… but, just as thrilling to me. I’d just want to let you know, WG, that in a few days I’ll be heading to Toronto for TIFF, yes, and one of the films I’ll be watching is the world premiere of The Railway Man by Australian director Jonathan Teplitzky and Aussie actress Nicole Kidman. Of course, the main attraction, for me, is its male star, Colin Firth. He’ll be walking the red carpet at TIFF, but, don’t think I can even get close to there. 😉
Oh, that’s great Arti … I look forward to hearing about it, particularly if you SEE Firth!
If I do SEE him, will def. send a pic on Twitter. 😉
I’ll be watching!
Congratulations to the winners! And thanks for having a giveaway even though I didn’t win 😉
That’s kind of you Stefanie! I wanted so many to win, but such is life isn’t it!
Congratulations to the winners! Any sad losers can try for the giveaway on my blog if they like – just to keep the ball rolling !
Good for you Catherine … And commiserations
Well I am disappointed, but congratulations to the winners. You have some good reading ahead of you.
Gracious of you Meg … It says something too that you are disappointed.
