PRC prizewinners – Black Bear
First, a little perspective…
There were 33 Pegasus Release Events worldwide in November and December, in 6 countries, and 18 different US states, with a reported 375 attendees. Give yourselves a round of applause, everyone, because that’s pretty dang fantastic. This completely blew me away. If you haven’t already, please go check out all our photos on Photobucket–and we had an eleventh-hour report/photos from Knoxville, Tennessee last weekend!
While we’d originally planned to give away just 2 books, Robin felt that with over 300 people in the drawing, she wanted to put in a few more prizes. So she is giving away SIX signed books, plus THREE signed posters featuring the gorgeous cover art. Robin was also anxious to make sure that while some students from participating schools were unable to put their names in the drawing due to privacy reasons, that we still make them eligible to win something. I solved this by putting blank draws into the mix, marked “Student, such-and-such High School.”
So without further ado, it is my very great pleasure to announce the winners of the Pegasus Release Celebrations drawings!

Congratulations to all our winners!! I will be contacting all of you directly regarding your shipping addresses and whether you would like your prize personalized by Robin. *Please Respond Promptly!* This is going to be a big post office run for Fiona, and Robin would like to get everything shipped all at once to make it easier. *
Thanks so much to everyone who participated in these events! This completely exceeded my expectations, and I’m so glad everyone had a good time with it. Whenever we find out about UK publication dates, there will be (I hope) more opportunities for fun and games. And perhaps we’ll continue this streak with Pegasus II in a year and a half…. :)**

* Easier is a euphemism. HINT: Fiona comes THIS FRIDAY, the 21st. Do or die, guys, which is to say if you miss this Friday, it’ll probably be another month before your book/poster goes out.
** AAAAAUGH
