Find Gestald!

Ok, let's all play another game with my stories. This one is called "Find Gestald." It's a little like "Where's Waldo," except not as hard on the eyes.

Gestald is a minor character in my second novel, who also plays a minor role in DotA. In the "second" DotA that Sam and I started but have not yet finihsed (quit bugging me, Sam, I'll continue when I'm ready!) Gestald finally gets a "starring" role. The continuing joke was that Gestald is kind of a "character actor"--he plays the smaller parts really well, but doesn't have the "star power" to carry a story on his own. To further that continuing joke, I decided I was going to write Gestald into every single story I wrote from that point on. He obviously makes an appearance in "Method's of Concealment", so don't bother pointing that out. But Gestald also makes a cameo in one of the other stories that I posted. A signed copy of the story goes to the first person who correctly identifies the story he appears in, and points out where his cameo takes place. Again, if you think a signed copy is too pretentious, I will send you an equivalent number of blank pages for use in your own writing projects.

This shouldn't be too hard--there really is only one story he *could* be in, and the trick now will be finding him.

Happy Gestald hunting!
