And the winner is... THE IRON HEART, Marshall Browne

Two weeks ago a post announced Up for Grabs - THE IRON HEART by Marshall Browne

I obviously made the questions too hard, because while many read the post, only 4 submitted answers, and so I put all 4, whose answers were largely correct, into draw for a winner.

And so, after a lot of politically incorrect mumbo jumbo, involving the conducting of an eeny-meeny-miny-mo incantation, the winner was Maria. Maria is a follower of my blog, so I know she will see this and I ask her to email me with a physical address to send the book to.

There were 10 questions to answer.

The Questions:

A

B

C

D

1. Which of the above is Marshall Browne?
   answer: C. A was Brian Kavanagh. B was Adrian Hyland. D was Garry Disher.
   The answer was in an earlier post.

8. In which Australian city are Browne's historical novels set?

Thank you for participating.
I promise to make the next competition a little easier - perhaps fewer questions, and a shorter time frame. Look for it in a week or so.
