I am currently doing a give-away of a UK ARC for SISTERS RED by Jackson Pearce. The book isn't out in the UK or USA until 3rd June, so this is a chance to get it ... at least a few days early. Depending on the post. And whether the volcano shuts down the UK airports again.

Anyway, if that hasn't put you off then check it out here.

Just wanted to say that the Random Generator for the SISTERS RED ARC give-away competition selected Dot from here at AW to receive the copy. Unfortunately, today is the last day on which Dot to get in touch with me to provide his/her postal details. If I don't hear anything by 23:59 British Summer Time tonight, then I'll re-do the draw.

Just to say that my YA horror ARC give-away ends today for anyone thinking of entering but who hasn't done so already.

I have however, just started a new ARC give-away for a trio of YA/MG fantasy books:

- THE RETURNERS by Gemma Malley - a YA fantasy set in the near future about a teenage boy who discovers that he's lived past lives.

- THE BLACKHOPE ENIGMA by Teresa Flavin - a MG fantasy about three children who discover a way to access a fantasy world in an old painting.

- THE THIN EXECUTIONER by Darren Shan - billed as the first fantasy story from the master of YA horror, it's about a young man who embarks on a quest to obtain the powers necessary for him to win a competition for his father's job as head executioner.

Full details of the competition are here.
