1) WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO
Clovenhoof
Amazon put Clovenhoof on promotion during March. Sales have rocketed, and sent it right up the charts. It has spent most of the month as Amazon's #1 contemporary fantasy book in the UK. Happy days!
Clovenhoof 2
We're somewhere between a third and a half of the way through the writing of the second Clovenhoof novel. Having unleashed our old friends (and introduced some new ones), they continue to horrify and amuse us with their bad behaviour...
Ten To One
Our ten-person collaborative writing project is currently recruiting. We are looking for ten writers from far and wide to work on a novel together. If you'd like to work with other writers to create the most original novel of 2013, go to www.pigeonparkpress.com and click on the Ten To One link. Quickly though, as the deadline is 31st March 2013.
We also have a Ten To One 'meet and greet' on Wednesday 27th March (6:30pm onwards) in the Briar Rose Hotel in Central Birmingham for all people interested in getting involved in the project.
