Congratulations to all of the winners!
Everyone keep in mind that there will be plenty more contests in the future, and no matter how many times you win you are always welcome to enter the next one. I’m looking into something super special for the next contest, so keep your eyes peeled for the next couple of weeks for that one.
Thanks again for all of your support and entries, and keep on reading the Railroad!

Do you like steampunk? Do you like westerns? Do you like weirdness? Do you like winning stuff? Course ya do!
I've managed to get my hot little hands on a few train key chains, which I have painted to a steampunk attitude. Nothing to fancy, just a little something for fun. I have also found a loverly train pocket watch. (pictured below) It is absolutely gorgeous!
What do these finds mean for you? I'm so very glad you asked!
In celebration of the completion of the first part of Railroad! I would like to award a couple of them to you nice folks.

| Ohh! I want one! |
Then here's how you get a hold of one:
1) Visit Railroad! at http://steampunktrain.blogspot.com/
2) Leave a comment about the story under any of the chapters. (be sure to leave your name and a way to get in contact with you, especially if you aren't a member of blogspot!)
It's that easy. At the end of the month, June 30th, I will select four comments at random to win the key chains and the grand prize pocket watch. I'll announce the three winners on July 3rd.
I appreciate all the support for the webserial, and this is my way of saying thanks. Good luck!
Tonia
PS: It has been brought to my attention that some folks are having trouble commenting on the blogspot site. I have had this complaint before, so no surprise there. If you're one of the unlucky folks who can't comment, do not fret. Just email me at the address listed under either the Argus Gazette link or the Pony Express link.
