The Legion marches...
Well, it’s only 2 days to go until the launch of DestinyQuest: The Legion of Shadow, so to raise your geek excitement to unprecedented levels (well, I can try...), I thought I’d show you a sneak peek of the books! I’ve literally only just received them and, I'll admit, there was a little bit of trepidation mixed in with the excitement as I hastily tore away the packaging to reveal the books.
Competition closed
Just a mini update to confirm that the bookmark competition is officially closed. A big thank you to all those who took part – I was surprised and overwhelmed by the response. Speedy heroes who submitted their entries before the closing date (9 April) won their chosen bookmarks. These should be with you by now or, at least, on their way. Entries made after the 9 April sadly missed out, but there will be more opportunities to get hold of bookmarks in the future. Sorry for some of the confusion with the closing date - my fault for not making it clearer! You live and learn.
Decide your destiny - and win DQ goodies!
Calling all valiant champions (and nefarious villains!) – to celebrate the imminent launch of The Legion of Shadow, myself and Gollancz are offering the first in a number of exciting giveaway competitions. And there’s loot – oh yes, epic loot my treasure-seeking friends. So read on, for your chance to grab some of these rare items to aid your future adventures.
Fan the flames
It’s a worrying moment when you click on the ‘send’ button, aware that your email is speeding through the ether and carrying with it nearly nine months of hair-tearing, teeth-gnashing hard work. There is always that instant when you think ‘should I have double-checked that ability… changed that sentence… oh that darned apostrophe on entry 15…’. Well, The Heart of Fire manuscript is sent - and as Doris Day once crooned, ‘Que Sera, Sera...’
Winter is coming...
Or so the forecasters would have us believe, with dire warnings of heavy snow, sub-zero temperatures and hazardous conditions. It feels like something from a George R.R. Martin novel. I just hope the Others aren’t on their way as well or there’s going to be serious panic buying down the local supermarket. <turns to partner> "Mary, check we have enough milk, yeah?"
