Unfortunately I wasn't a winner, but Gollancz has been very kind to report the news. Next time I'm going to be luckier!

Sorry guys, must be frustrating. I was told winners would be notified early this week. It may be that there is a delay - or on this occasion you were unlucky! My instinct is that it's a delay, but might be wrong.

Still no notification so I assume I wasn't as quick as I hoped... Well, no problem, my copy of Heart of Fire is already in my hands, and as I've already said that's what really matters!

Hopefully, winners should be notified in the next couple of days. Good luck to all those who entered.

I emailed my editor this morning to see if he has any news. It's a busy time of year so they may not have had chance to notify winners yet. As soon as I hear anything, I'll post back in this thread.

Did anyone receive any news about winning the competition? Just to know, because there's been no official announce yet...

Although I wrote the competition, it is headed by Gollancz so the emails will have gone to them.

I guess the winners may be notified very soon - and thank you to all of you who entered (I 'geek salute' you). I may run some extra competitions of my own too, so keep your eyes peeled if you were unlucky in this instance.

I answered this morning... when will we find out if we were lucky or not?

It's a good thing they got lots of UK TV shows in Australia when I was growing up!! When I got the answer I was like double checking to make sure I had used all the letters correctly, then I was like, of course it's correct... like any good cryptic clue you should know you are right because you get 2 clues.

Just sent an email to get a free copy, although I should receive my "normal" (i.e.: paid ) one within a few hours. How knows, maybe I could be lucky this time too, just like with the DQ 1 bookmarks, couldn't I? Anyways, I can't wait to have Heart of Fire in my hands, whether I win or not I'll have it and this is what is really important.

If you're after a free copy of The Heart of Fire and a set of loot cards, then head over to the Gollancz website for my 'Ready Player One' challenge.

I'd hurry, first correct ten entries win...
