The winners of this week’s drawings are:

Goodreads winner (mini-broadside): Georgia O.

Feb. 27 newsletter drawing winner (of a God of the Hive ARC): Amanda L. Sign up here for a chance to win your own this month!

Twitter winner (of a mini-broadside): Ana S. from Portugal

And the one you’ve all been waiting for… the winning entry from last week’s Sherlockism contest. Chosen from a wide field of excellent entries (all of which can be found on the Sherlockism page,) the winner is Priscilla J:

“A nugget of truth often sleeps, deep in a tangled web of lies.”

Priscilla won an Advanced Reading Copy of The God of the Hive, and her pithy quote will be featured in the as-yet-without-title novel for 2011, which she will also receive in hardback next year. Congrats Priscilla, and thank you to everyone who played!

For your chance at this week’s prize, a mini broadside of “A Venomous Death,” visit the puzzle page to download this week’s crossword, then send us a photo or scan of your solution. A winner will be drawn on Monday, which leaves you plenty of time for weekend puzzling.

We had a gratifying number of entries into last week’s “Sherlockism” contest–while I’m mulling them over, you might like to look at them yourself and see if there are any that catch your imagination. (My choice will probably go up mid-week, so you have a couple of days.)

And when your grey cells have been stimulated, turn your eyes to this week’s puzzle, here. You have until Sunday night for this one. Good luck–you’ll need it!

But coming up soon, you’re invited to a party, at the house of Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes. That’s right: food, drink, and conversation, a virtual feast of conviviality. Virtual being the key word. Here’s your invitation, please pass it on to friends.

And the winners are…
