Delighted to share the news that my American publishers are doing a giveaway of advance reading copies of The Masked City. Check it out here:

https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/195433-the-masked-city

It’s US-only, I’m afraid, and the giveaway dates are Jul 18 – Aug 01, 2016. Increase your personal libraries! Fill your shelves! Get more books!

(In other news, I now have a new fridge/freezer and am extremely grateful for it.)

Currently having issues with my fridge/freezer. This is unlikely to get into my writing, as “Irene has to wrestle with a malfunctioning fridge and ends up defrosting it” lacks narrative interest. Even for the bit where Kai complains that she’s thrown out all the carefully made pure springwater ice cubes which he likes to drop in his drinks.

I have (and here I’m going to tease) been proofreading a special little easter egg for the American edition of The Masked City. I won’t be too specific about it yet, but I think people will like it.

And speaking of proofreading, look what turned up in the post today: The Burning Page, ready for proofreading.

No rest for the wicked…
