<p>Well, I didn&#8217;t win.</p>
<p>I came in second.</p>
<p>The 500 pound prize is just what I happen to need right now. And, while I am not sharing the money, I&#8217;ll share the love.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got a copy of the anthology to give away and if you want to win it, all you have to do is leave a comment congratulating me on my win after this post. Comments for the contest will be accepted between now and midnight on July 1st, 2007. That&#8217;s Canada Day, so I&#8217;ll celebrate my national holiday with this giveaway too. On Monday, I&#8217;ll conduct a random draw from the eligible comments and announce the winner of the book here.</p>
