New Competition!

I’m celebrating my Facebook page achieving 100 followers AND Blackhope‘s publication in the USA by launching a little competition.

You can win a signed paperback copy of both The Blackhope Enigma and The Crimson Shard (which will be published on 1 October in the UK), plus a hand-cut raven silhouette (made by me) and a leather-bound notebook with an original sketch on the first page (also by me). The deadline is 5 September at midnight UK time (that’s 7pm US time).

It’s easy to enter. Go to my Contact page, type in your name and email address (so I can contact you if you win) and answer this question in the message box below:

What bird is on The Blackhope Enigma cover?

If you are under 16, please fill out the Children’s Contact form here.

I won’t keep any of your information after the competition ends. If you are the winner, I’ll email you to ask for your mailing address and who you’d like the books to be dedicated to.

Looking forward to getting your entries! And if you’d like to follow me on Facebook, click here.

Friday Freebies

Two new downloads for kids (and grown-up kids,too).

It’s been too long since I added downloadables to the Fun page on my website, so I’m fixing that today. I just put up a new Mermaid Bookplate that you can print out and then cut out and paste into a good-sized book or notebook or even sketchpad.

And it’s time for a new maze, so I made a Sun Maze in honour of the summer solstice on Sunday. It’s a pretty tricky one and you’ll need a super sharp pencil because the paths are quite narrow. It might take you a minute to find where you are supposed to come out. Here’s a hint: it’s just to the right of the sun drawing in the middle.

To find both these downloads, visit my Fun page and scroll down to Bookplates and Mazes. I promise to add more soon!
