Children’s Book Week 2016 – with giveaways!

childrens-book-week-2016-1How quickly Children’s Book Week comes around each year!  Thanks to Bookhounds, we have a great giveaway hop for you.

This year I’m offering a paperback copy of The Princelings of the East (book 1 in the series of the same name) OR the first three ebooks in the series to one winner of the Giveaway Hop.  This closes on 8th May, 11.59pm Pacific Time, and is open worldwide.

Just complete the rafflecopter with as many entries as you like.

If you enjoy colouring, why not download one or more of the pictures to colour in of Fred and George, my Princelings heros, and Mariusz of Castle Hattan, here.  My favourite is the one of Fred and George in the plane. Save them to your device and print out on A4 or letter paper.

More planes (George starts inventing them after he gets introduced to them in book 3). A flying boat turns up in book 6, Bravo Victor.  Victor is charged to go looking for George in the Rhinelands, and help foil a dastardly plot in the process.  It’s a great read for the budding inventor, business guru, smuggler or entrepreneur in your family!

That is the prize in a Goodreads Giveaway, open to Goodreads members worldwide and open throughout May.  Closes 31st May, midnight Pacific Time.

The winner of the Goodreads Giveaway for The Traveler in Black and White was…..

Traci in Hugo, USA

How superbly appropriate that Hugo’s book has gone to Hugo, OK!!

This month, instead of continuing our romp through the POTE paperbacks, Jemima is launching her new series, scifi for grownups, The Perihelix.

So the plan is to offer The Talent Seekers in March and Bravo Victor in April.  That will take us to the second anniversary of Victor’s book release, so it seems to round off nicely.

If you can’t wait, you can always buy the books – see the links here.

Jemima is hoping to write most of Book 7 during April, but she might not finish it until July, since she wants to at least outline Book 8 as well.

News update for July

I’m busy working on my other series this month as my project for Camp NaNoWriMo, but I will find time to set up the new paperback of The Traveler in Black and White, now that we have the final cover.  I’ve driven Danielle crazy, but that’s the problem of replacing a cover you really like.

The other books are all ready in paperback and I’ve just updated Pirates and Lost City to get rid of spurious printer marks (blocks replacing special characters in the wordprocessing file).

You may remember I entered Bravo Victor in the Kindle Book Awards… it didn’t get through to the semi-final.  I like it, though; it’s just not your prize-winning type of book.

Comments on the new Traveler cover welcome!

Talent Seekers and Bravo Victor paperbacks

The paperback versions of The Talent Seekers and Bravo Victor are nearly ready.  I’m just waiting to see them in my hand before releasing them to the world 🙂  I was trying to keep the price below £6 / $9 but it looks like they’ll have to go out at £6.25 or £6.50.

I’m now working on Lost City, after which I’ll be finalising the three trilogy paperbacks, which will have a slightly lower retail price (well, at least the first two will).  I’m just waiting for the new cover for Traveler, which has caused Dani and I much angst (well, me angst and Dani frustration, I expect) before setting that up too.  That’s the trouble when you love the original cover so much you don’t want to change it, yet taking the guinea pig off the front seems to be a good idea.

I’ll be releasing them all together, and I think they’ll be available in stores worldwide from late June, but you may have to order them by ISBN.  Watch here for links when they come out.
