I'm back!

And despite the fact that both my wife and I managed to get ill in Egypt it still turned out to be one of the best holidays we've ever had (that really says something about our other holidays doesn't it...?) In a complete break from tradition, the camping trip to Dorset wasn't bad either. All I have to do now is go back to work tomorrow... :o(

Thanks for sticking around over the last couple of weeks, things will get back to normal (starting from tomorrow) with plenty of reviews of all the stuff I was reading either while I was in a tent or on the beach. Which reminds me...

All competitions are now closed!

Thanks to everyone who entered and made my email inbox look like I'm really popular :o) I'll be announcing winners on Thursday but not informing people beforehand so be sure to stop by and see if you were one of the lucky ones...

In the meantime, here's details of Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson's signing tour for 'The Winds of Dune' and Kat Richardson's tour for 'Vanished' if you're in the US and are interested...

There doesn't appear to be a time for the last signing so, if you're interested, then you may want to contact the store first... (There were earlier dates as well but the emails came through while I was away and I'm guessing that you not too bothered about finding out about signings that have already happened!)
