Book Giveaway – Cantata 104 (7/5/2013)
News this week? The short story I was working on for World Fantasycon is a pile of poo and is getting thrown away, junked for a restart. Why are short stories so damn difficult? I’ve been noodling with some SF idea and have been told I have to watch Heat. Heat In Space anyone? Mostly I’ve been working on a historical detective novel set in the English Civil War, which has been far more fun than expected. Oh, and The Adamantine Palace is apparently going to Bulgaria. Yay Bulgaria. I’m crossing my fingers for a different cover, but I suspect everyone like Stephen Youll’s dragons too much.
This week’s giveaway is an old classic. Not one I’ve read but presumably it messes with your head since it’s Dick.
Usual deal – comment on this post before May 11th and I’ll randomly select a lucky victim for a free copy of the book. Since it’s one of mine, I’ll sign and line it of you like.No challenge this week, although you’re welcome to keep going with the last one.
Although, though no one has yet complained about how long it takes me to get to the post office and post things, it can take a while and if you live abroad then it can take even longer. Sorry about that, but they do get there eventually. Well, so far.

I don’t believe I have had the pleasure of reading this particular novel by the wonderful Philip K. Dick it looks rather exciting.

Love to get my hands on it – can’t find it in the library catalog!

I’ve never read a PKD book I didn’t like. Haven’t read this though, so I hope I win.
-Do I get points for resisting posting Dick-jokes?

Actually, I’ve never read a Philip K. Dick book, just seen some of the movie adaptations of his work. I would love to read this one.
