Well, it’s been exactly a year since Dark Heart was released into the wild so I thought it at least
deserved a mention. I should also thank
Snowbooks for publishing it, and thank each of you who bought a copy, and thank
all the bloggers who took the time to read it.
Reviews have been unanimously good, going on excellent, and it’s
wonderful to see that even a year later Dark
Heart is still garnering great reviews.
Zoe over at Fantasy Bytes recently said some very generous things about
it:
‘…a complete gem of an
original… the Bond aspect is utter
genius and the retrospectives are great, perfectly timed and beautifully
written. A fantastic read.’
You can read the full review here.
All in all, I must have done something right, and Leo Stamp
must have touched a few hearts, even with his being a shade on the dark
side. We thank you.
So anyway, to commemorate Dark Heart’s first
birthday I thought I’d run a little competition, and put up three signed copies
as bait… I mean prizes. All you have to
do is email me the correct answer to this question (you can find my email address on the right):
Many years ago I used to play a certain sport professionally
– a little Google detective work should give you the answer, but if your digital
deerstalker no longer fits, here’s a cryptic clue: Spiders rest beneath the table while the hurricane
blows above. What's the sport?
I'll choose the winners using the technical system of closing my eyes with my tongue poking out of the corner of my mouth and pointing at the screen – and
no, if you know me you can’t enter. Closing
date is Friday 25th and I’ll announce the winners on the following Saturday.
And please don’t forget, if you haven’t read Dark Heart yet,
it’s still available to buy at your local Waterstones, and if you really must,
you can pick up a copy online. I’d love
to hear what you think about it.
