1) WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO
Pigeonwings
We're thrilled to say that the second Clovenhoof novel is available in ebook format on Amazon.
We'll be having two launch events. You can come to either one (or both! or neither!)
There is the virtual launch event on 7th September. This will be on Facebook.
You can join the event by clicking here and then there will be a thread on the night that we will use to play some games and have some fun. Dip in, dip out, it's all good.
Then there is the physical event on 12th October at The Old Royal in Birmingham (details below)
Ten To One
Ten To One is the exciting collaborative writing project from Pigeon Park Press in which ten writers will create a novel together. You can find out more by going to our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TenToOneNovel.
Second Round Results - The second round of chapters for Ten To One were shared 4 weeks ago and the public were asked to vote for their favourite characters/writers. All the authors were critically praised by our judges but someone had to be voted out. The votes from Facebook and e-mail were combined with the judges' scores and Sue Barsby, creator of the character Valerie, was voted out of Ten To One. As part of the process, Sue has now been invited to join the panel of judges.
You can read the first chapters and get involved by following this link:
