Book Competition


Hello from Scotland,

Disclosure is released on the 23rd of this month. It is full of fun and the usual mayhem as I get ready for the new release.

To celebrate the release, I have a fantastic competition for you. Books and Scottish treats... when I say treats... I can confirm there is Tablet. If you're not familiar with Tablet, imagine mixing a full bag of sugar with condensed milk and then a stick of butter... yip, it's exactly as sweet and unhealthy as you imagine, but it's heaven in a cube.

Good luck, everyone.

Louise

Hello from Scotland, Wowzah, you guys are just the best. It's been a few weeks since the launch of the new book. I am over the moon. Thank you to you all. Discovery, the first book in the series, reached #1 in British contemporary literature and humourous fantasy Disclosure: my new release reached #10 in British contemporary literature. Wow wow wow. For a series about Cassie a wee Glasgwegian office worker who gets caught up in a mad world with semi-retired gods and witches, I'm just...

Hello from Scotland, Wowzah, it's been hot. Well, when I say hot, I mean hot for Scotland. One of my readers reached out and told me about the heat they had in America; crikey, I would be a Scottish hot mess if I was exposed to anything more than 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit). Given that it was 35 degrees in the last few weeks in Scotland, you can imagine how productive I was ... not very. Big news: even though it's been hotter than Hades' hot tub, I have eventually stopped...

Hello from Scotland, Summer is upon us, the big bad burny thing was in the sky fleetingly. I was out in it for a whole 2 hours, and I look like a red-and-white candy cane (one half burnt, the other translucent Scottish white).
