You sound disappointed! I have one unused copy left if you'd like me to post it to you.Fine. A tad far from Durban but then anywhere in the northern hemisphere is.
What is the book about? Is it a standalone or part of a series? How much to post it here?
Postage is £9.40, I'm afraid! (S. Africa)
The book follow our heroine Halfie, as her childhood certainties begin to unravel... It's a standalone book. However, I might be tempted to write a sequel in a couple of years, as reports back indicate people are liking it!
That's R200. A bit stiff for me. If ever you decide to publish it as an ebook I'd be interested.
A novel way to do local publicity...

Stephen, what am I looking at in the lower half of the picture? Is this a sort of pouch with two compartments, with publicity sheets that may be taken by passersby?
I honestly don't understand what I'm seeing.

WAIT! Shropshire is a real place? I thought Ellis Peters made it up.
Are you off to Narnia after that?
Congratulations on another great event!

The book cover illustration was a linocut made by my partner Nicci's mum, Wendy. Nicci is a bookbinder working in Ludlow, and she created a set of cards from the same linocut. They're for sale in the bookbindery shop. The left hand image is a linocut of the Broad Street gate, Ludlow's only remaining original mediaeval gate.
Thanks! The book is receiving a lot of praise from readers. Alas, Shropshire is being "discovered" at the moment by rich folk from down south, so it's not as mysterious as it used to be.

They're really exceptionally attractive. So in the photo I'm looking at a display inside the shop?
Yes. The owner bought her own signed copy!
First batch almost sold out. Phew! Financial loss averted.
Opening this up now to all-comers. Just two copies left, and a single copy of TGW2S. First come, first served! UK postage small parcel rate is £3.49.

I'll be doing a Winter Signing of Halfie at the Castle Bookshop (i.e. wearing a scarf and with some tinsel) about half way through December. Shropshire locals... come along! Details to follow.
@Stephen Palmer, will try to make it this time! Don't forget to let us know the date.
Two weeks today, folks!
Sorry about this @Stephen Palmer but my daughter needs a replacement radiator fitting in her new home and Saturday the 16th, for various reasons, is the only day that's possible.
There's a new bookshop opened here in Bridgnorth*. What's the chance of you doing a book signing there in the new year?

*Finally we have a bookshop in competition with that so-called bookshop W.H. Smith. The place is packed probably because they don't sell rubbish and aren't understaffed.
