If there is more than one correct guess, a drawing will be held to determine the winner at the end of July.
The prize is two-fold: A $100 Amazon gift certificate, and a signed copy of PERMANENT FATAL ERROR in its rarest form: autographed by Ms. Colt, and, well, by me…
Happy guessing. Clues will be fair, but authors often have a much harder time hiding behind an assumed prose style, so if you want to go at this the old-fashioned way, you can order PFE here:
