Right, it’s been a long time coming, and I laughed and groaned at many of the puns, but here you are, here’s the winner of the competition I ran back in January. I asked you to mash up Black Library book titles and band names/song names etc from the world of hard rock and heavy metal, and the response was great, with everyone entering into the spirit of the thing marvellously.

So without further ado, here’s the entries I chose (and I make no apologies for them being comprised of bands I like…)

In first place is Eric Slaney with: Rynn’s World…Party Time…Excellent!

I am an unashamed fan of the first Wayne’s World film, and this tickled me.

In second place is Martin Kocajda with: Seventh Son of a Thousand Sons.

One of my favourite bands, a great record and nicely topical with my current release.

And in third place is Brendan Coleman with: Ride the Lightning King.

Again, one of my favourite bands, and a nice segue of track and title that made me smile.

I’ve e-mailed the winners to let them know, so if you haven't yet checked your e-mail, get in touch with me and let me know your address so I can get the books sent to you, post haste!

Well done to the winners and thanks to everyone who entered, you all gave me a good laugh on the train where I was reading the entries – which earned me some odd looks from passersby, but I’m used to that now.

And just a reminder that I’m at Games Workshop Cardiff (31 High Street, Cardiff, Glamorgan, CF10 1PU) this Saturday on the 6th of March, between 12 and 2pm. See you there!
