I will make the draw (and when I say ‘make the draw’ I say ‘run the random number software’, though I have to say it’d be easier if I had a number of entries that matched one of the multi-sided dice in the sitting room) for the free copy of The Maker’s Mask on Friday […]

I’ve found Tony Loton’s Book Publishing DIY very helpful in getting my books into print.
