Book Giveaway – The Black Mausoleum (21/1/2013)
Here’s a thing not to do: Write 80% of the first draft of something, go and do a stack of other things for three months, then come back and try to write the last 20% imagining you still know everything that was going on and understand the characters. . . Anyway, the first draft of The Black Mausoleum III: The Splintered God is almost done now. The Black Mausoleum II: Dragon Queen is apparently coming out in August now (Not My Fault this time!), and it’s been a while since I put up a precious original Black Mausoleum title, so here goes. There probably won’t be another copy going up for quite some time.
The Black Mausoleum was a deliberate change of approach over the previous dragon books. Gone are the political machinations and the wheels within wheels – this is much more about survival and a rag-tag band of characters who really can’t stand each other. Probably the best cover in the series too. Signed and lined to the luck winner, of course.
Usual rules apply – comment here to be entered and I’ll pick a winner at random on Friday evening. Competition (as usual) is open worldwide. Outside Europe I ship by surface mail to keep the costs down so please be patient.

I like rag-tag bands of characters. I sometimes think I am one. Please send me the book so I can find out if I’m right. Yrs, Free Book Slut.

I’d love a copy – it’d make up for the utter lack of snow we have here in the Highlands.

This is my favourite dragon book so far. The change of approach is very welcome.
Don’t send me a copy, as I already have one.

What a fantastic cover! I don’t want to drag-on about it
(see what I did there?) Needless to say I’m really interested to see the group of characters evolve, adapt, and survive against an onslaught of furious dragons! Things are seriously hotting up, fantastic stuff.

Great! The dragons rule now.
January 23rd, 2013 at 6: 53 pm
Don’t have that one yet! Good luck to me…

You’re right the cover looks awesome! I’d love to read it.

This one was suggested to me on Goodreads, so I already got it as an e-book!
Loved it and would be great to have it on paper!

There be dragons! Can never have too many…

There is a distinctly dragon shaped hole in my life…
