Already enjoyed Phoenix, did my download of The Downs, bought OHAH and pre-ordered Astounding! ... so I guess The Downs will be next (although the questionnaire only gave a really short lead on OHAH). But first I have to google "Myers Briggs personality type" because that was the question I couldn't answer ...

You were randomly chosen as the contest winner! Please PM me with the email address you use for Dreamspinner, and I'll ask them to add the book and gift certificate to your account. :-) Thank you for playing!
Wow, what a wonderful way for a start into an early weekend. Thank you, Kim. For DSP it's aug11@web.de ... btw the questionnaire result was correct: I still can't decide which story I like better The Downs or Corruption. Enjoyed them both.

Seems I confused the release date ... have to login into DSP later for "my" daily dose anyway and now I have another maybe even better reason to do so :)

Jeez, I can hardly keep track of my own release dates--I certainly wouldn't expect you to!
