It’s been a whole year since ‘Fire & Sword’ was launched into the world, and what an exciting year it’s been!

I’ve participated in a number of author events, interviews and virtual blog tours, with more to follow, and so far the reviews have been really positive and encouraging.  The follow-up to ‘Fire & Sword’ is ready to send to the publishers (news on progress will be forthcoming, just as soon as I find out what’s happening), and I’m currently working on a third ( maybe even a third and fourth) novel.

Above all, I’ve had the good fortune to meet a bunch of lovely readers who have been really supportive of both the book itself and my work in general. As any writer will tell you, this makes all the difference when you’re engaged in such an isolated and solitary vocation as writing.

Anyway, to celebrate this milestone, I’m giving away six copies of ‘Fire & Sword’ in e-book format.  To be in with a chance of winning, just leave an appropriate comment on this blog entry before the 12th October 2014, when I’ll pick six random names from the list to receive a copy.

To those of you who have read the book/bought the book/reviewed the book so far – thank you!  Your enthusiasm and encouragement has been much appreciated!!  Here’s to the next year – if it’s half as exciting as the last one has proved to be, I’ll be more than happy.
