January Clear Your Shelf Giveaway!

Here’s a great idea for January – a little clear-out of books for young people (mainly older MG) I’ve read and reviewed, plus a few copies of the first edition of The Princelings Trilogy.  It’s all thanks to I Am A Reader Not A Writer (although, of course, I do both)

As this hop is biased toward US entries, I’m keeping mine to EUROPE only.  If you have a physical address in any European country you can enter and may win.  If your address isn’t in Europe, I won’t be sending the books.  It’s a no-ebooks event.  Of course, if you’re very keen you can enter anyway, but I’m just giving you due warning.

What am I giving away?

  • The Princelings of the East – The Trilogy, edition 1 which does not have the latest edition of the first book, nor the Lists of Characters (which you can see on this website)
  • The Time Travel Storm by J C Booth
  • The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm by Norman Hunter
  • For an adult, either John Le Carre’s The Constant Gardener or Kate Atkinson’s Started Early, Took My Dog
  • or that last one might change to whatever I’ve read by the time the Giveaway has finished.

So enter the rafflecopter, then go and hop to some of the other entries on the linky list.

Trilogy revised and updated

I’ve been working on the Princelings of the East – The Trilogy, enlarging the font one size so that it is now 468 pages long –  15% thicker but still manageable!  I’ve taken out the page on Victor’s Story and updated the teasers for Traveler and Talent Seekers.  And – in response to some comments – I’ve added some pictures of Fred, George, Victor and Hugo at the back, just before the Biography page.

One problem I had was the pricing.  I wanted to put this into wider circulation, but to do so I would have had to raise the selling price to $16.15 from $13.99.  I felt that was too much.  What do you think?  I have been considering making each of the books available in paperback, and maybe that would be more worthwhile, as they would be cheaper to produce, being thinner.  I don’t know how much you are prepared to pay for a paperback for a 10-14 year old, even one with three stories in it.   Any feedback would be welcome.

The Princelings of the East – The Trilogy is available at Amazon or our estore.  The three books are included in the one volume with their illustrations and covers (in greyscale) to give a 468 page paperback.  It looks lovely!
