Day 1 of the Big Book Giveaway!

It's here! This is my publication party week, to celebrate the launch of The Hating Game paperback on Wednesday! I'll be giving away 34 books over the week to say thanks for all the wonderful support I've received over the past few months.

A big thank you to JC Martin, who's donated two copies of The Rage of a New Ancestor ebook, and to Sangu Mandanna, who's donated a copy of This Perfect World by Suzanne Bugler.

Today, I'll be kicking this off by giving away six books! All you need to do to be in the draw for the remaining books this week is just follow my blog or comment on Facebook on my blog link.

So here we go!

Without Alice by DJ Kirkby goes to... KAREN GOWEN!

Breakthrough by Stephen Tremp goes to... NAS DEAN!

This Perfect World goes to... PAM READER!

Choice of a Marian Keyes book (courtesy of Jessica Bell) goes to... SUSAN MILLS!

The Leopard (courtesy of Hilary Melton-Butcher) goes to... ANDREW CULTURE!

E2 by Matt goes to... GODDESS OF BLAH!

Yay! If you could all email your address or email (in the case of ebooks) to me (talliroland AT gmail.com), I will make sure your prizes get sent out. Congrats to the winners!

A few people outside of the UK have asked where they can buy my book, since my publisher doesn't have a distributor in Canada or the US (so it won't be in the shops). It will be available on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca eventually, but for now the best place to get it from is The Book Depository, with free worldwide delivery.

Drop by tomorrow when I'll be giving away another crop of books! I'll also be on Catherine Ryan Howard's blog as well as Sangu Mandanna's (where she'll be giving away a signed copy of The Hating Game, too!).

Happy Monday!

The Winners!

Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas! The photo below is me on Thames, on Christmas Day. This time, Mr TR and I biked (yes, biked) from our flat in west London to the South Bank, ducked into St Paul's, hit up a pub for some mulled wine, then biked back home again for a massive turkey dinner.


Now for the two winners of Isabelle Lafleche's book J'Adore New York! The lucky readers are:

Jayne from a Novice Novelist!
Susan Fields!

Congrats, ladies! And if you'd like a little light reading today while your tummy digests, I'm over on Leigh T Moore's blog today! Thank for having me, Leigh.

Enjoy your lazy Monday!

Size Matters

Yes, it's this year's Christmas tree, dragged all the way across the North Sea from Norway and already starting to lose its needles. At almost eight feet, it's a big one -- but with our sky-scraper ceilings, size does matter. It needs to be tall or it looks almost comical.

I'm starting this week off with a few links to get us all in the Monday spirit! First off, I'm over at Len's, talking about my next novel and answering other great questions! I had the pleasure of talking to Len ON THE PHONE last week and I can tell you that she's every bit as nice as she comes across on her blog.

Next, for everyone who's still stumped on what to get me for Christmas, check out Chick Lit Reviews to see what's on my list!

For the writer in your family, why not purchase some editing? Jessica Bell has more info here.

And finally, head over to Facebook where I'm running a little giveaway. All you need to do is send me (talliroland@gmail.com) a photo of The Hating Game loaded onto your device (computer, phone, Kindle, etc) and I will enter you in a giveaway for books and treats! Closing date: this Friday.

Happy Monday!
