2nd Aussie/NZ Goodreads Giveaway

For the record, here are the winners of my second book giveaway on Goodreads, which ended in early February 2012. I gave away 3 copies of the Australian trade paperback edition of Vengeance, and Australian and NZ readers were eligible to enter.
The winners were:

Ju Kim (NZ)

Ben Richards (Aus)

Rachel Clemente (Aus)

Winners are chosen randomly by Goodreads. The winners were sent their books in mid-February 2012.

I'm currently running a third Vengeance giveaway for A-NZ readers, which ends April 3, 2012. To enter, please go here:
