CONE ZERO AUTHOR IDENTIFICATION COMPETITION

This came in today from Des Lewis, editor of the Nemonymous series, in whose latest volume, Cone Zero, I'm lucky enough to have a story:

CONE ZERO AUTHOR IDENTIFICATION COMPETITION

A prize of £50 by PayPal from Nemonymous to the reader who guesses or
assesses (by whatever means) the most correct authors of the stories in the
CONE ZERO book.

The authors themselves are not eligible to enter. [Well, dang! -- RT]

Deadline: March 4th 2009 (when authors are due to be revealed).

If there is a tie, the prize will be shared.

The Editor’s decision is final.

Please write to bfitzworth@yahoo.co.uk with your choices. If you do not
receive an acknowledgement of your entry within a week, please try again.
You can enter the competition up to three times, but each entry will be
treated separately.

The story titles:

· "The Fathomless World"
· "The Point of Oswald Masters"
· "Cone Zero" (page 23)
· "Cone Zero" (page 33)
· "Cone Zero, Sphere Zero"
· "An Oddly Quiet Street"

The authors in a random order:

Neil James Hudson

S.D. Tullis
Stephen Bacon
Sean Parker
Dominy Clements
Bob Lock
Grant Wamack
David M Fitzpatrick

As you'll recall, in the Nemonymous series the authorships of the individual stories aren't revealed until around the time of publication of the succeeding volume; in this way readers (and reviewers, of course) are likely to appreciate the stories for what they are rather than be swayed by the magnitude of the author's name into various preconceptions.

I'm still permitted to offer FREEEEE PDF copies of the book to those who think they might review it on their blogs/elsewhere. Use the LJ system to e-mail me or, as that's sometimes dodgy, leave a heavily disguised version of your e-address here.
