The Great Magnetron Logophile Challenge

Last April, I sent out a challenge to loyal Magnetron fans:

Calling all logophiles, verbivores, and other ostentatiously learned geeks: Share your favorite obscure English word to win fabulous prizes (okay, they'll probably just be free ebooks). Top responses will be strategically deployed in my next book, The Kraken of Cape Farewell--with appropriate attribution of course!

Our judges have been hard at work choosing the winners, who are listed below with their winning entries:

• Hugh McCormick - Apricity, Hugger Mugger, Jollux, Snow-broth
• Jordan Bryant - Cantankerous
• Clarence Bonner - Defenestration
• Tracy Abernathy - Droud
• Christy Lynn Foster - Gorgonize, Groak, Jargogle
• James McAllister - Shankalicious (way to make things difficult, James!)

These six lucky and ostentatiously learned geeks will each receive a free copy of Rise of the Hogalum Society in the ebook format of their choice, and will be suitably immortalized in the acknowledgments section of the next book in the Magnetron Chronicles series, The Kraken of Cape Farewell.

Congratulations one and all and thanks for playing!
