Goodreads Choice Awards

I really wasn't expecting to feature this year - but... The Girl And The Stars in a nominee for the Goodreads Choice Awards!

Holy Sister came dead last (15th) in 2019, just behind Abercrombie's book in 14th. So I clearly need your votes!

Miraculously this is my 11th time on the Goodreads Choice Award lists (12th if you count Celyn's picture book) in 9 years.

The Girl And The Mountain - UK cover reveal !

You can now pre-order the UK edition of the Second Book of the Ice, The Girl And The Mountain. Doing so would demonstrate moral fibre, sartorial elegance, and an abundance of the right stuff all in one fell swoop.

Here's the cover. Another fine piece by Jason Chan!

Book giveaway contest!

Contest Closed

I still have signed copies of The Girl And The Stars and of Road Brothers to give away - so it's contest time again!

I also have a lot of my book 2's and book 3's, so if you win and you have another book in mind as a prize, we can probably do that instead.

Since my next book is The Girl And The Mountain this will be a mountain-based contest.

To enter, just send me a mountain-based entry. The default is a book mountain (not tower).

There will be a prize chosen from the 'best' entries in general. A prize chosen from the 'best' book-mountains. And three prizes chosen randomly from all the entries.

Just send your entry in an email marked 'Book Contest' to me at empire_of_thorns@yahoo.co.uk

All entries will be posted on this page.

Contest closes midnight GMT on Saturday 26th of September.

Winners = 10 (Rafael), 38 (Tracy), 41 (Dorian), 42 (Bryan), 53 (Peter)
