Win a copy of Cowboys & Aliens!

  1873. Arizona. An era when all a man could count on was his horse and his six-gun, and Indians fought a losing battle with European settlers. Until somebody else entered the fight—an invader who saw all humans as slaves, and was determined to conquer our world.   Thanks to the lovely folks at Harper Collins I have two copies to giveaway of the graphic novel Cowboys & Aliens (you may have heard of a movie of the novel that’s out right now)! And because I’m nice I’m going to give them away to you, lovely readers. Well, two of you. Because I only have two copies. Clear as mud, right? All you have to do is enter using the form below and I will randomly pick two entries. I can only send to NZ addresses, sorry. Competition closes on 1 September at 6pm. Enter away!   This competition is [...read more...]

Competition: Know Someone Who Deserves a New Book?

Well, it’s New Zealand Book Month and I promised you some competitions. And I have them! Here’s the first, and I thought I’d do something a little different. We all know that February was not a fantastic month for many NZers. With the awful earthquake in Christchurch lots of people out there have had, quite frankly, a crap time. And it affects everyone, kids, adults, teens… so here’s my idea for this competition.
