I'm participating in the Book'd Out Australia Day Book Giveaway Blog Hop. Yeah, I know it's a mouthful but the concept is simple - you can win books by Australian writers by hopping through the participating blogs and entering the various competitions.
I'm giving away a print copy of my short story collection, "Hoffman's Creeper and Other Disturbing Tales". The book contains twenty-three dark and quirky tales of mystery, adventure and terror taking you from the Scottish highlands, through the Pyrenees and into the towns, suburbs and cities of Australia, Ireland and Britain. There are two copies to give away, one will go to an Australian resident and the other to a foreign (non-Australian) resident. All you have to do is answer this question about a classic Australian book in the comments box at the bottom of this post. Entries close at midnight on Monday the 28th and the winners will be announced by the end of the month - good luck!
What is the name of the school that the girls attend in Joan Lindsay's novel "Picnic at Hanging Rock"?

As someone has already said, Appleyard College is such a strange name for a school - but a very fitting name in the scheme of things.
Great giveaway, Cameron.

I didn't know the name of the school (oops) so really don't deserve the prize.

Answer - Appleyard College.
Thank you very much! I`m in love with this giveaway! :) I`m from Europe and I`m non-native English speaker; there is not a very big choice of books in English here (except online shops) and they`re usually from American and British writers so this is a very beautiful opportunity to get to know the Australian writers :)
Thanks!

Years ago, I met the person who played the gardener in, "Picnic at Hanging Rock."
Appleyard College. Cameron, who does your covers; they are really good. Hopefully I win a copy of your book so that I can sample what's inside the covers too. All the best, Joe Jeney
Yes, the answer is Appleyard College!
Well, it's midnight, time to pick a name or two out of my hat... but first, I'd like to thank you all for participating in the giveaway. For those of you who don't win a copy - don't despair! Join my Facebook page and wait until the next giveaway or, even better, just buy a copy. I would really appreciate it and I feel confident that you would enjoy the tales.
By the way, I did the cover myself, glad you like it, Joe.
All right - drum roll...

Once again, thank you all for taking part.
