I’ve not been able to do very much during the Lockdown, but here’s a thing!
One of the hottest new titles just published is the SF novel Goldilocks, by Laura Lam – and I’ll have some signed copies available soon.
I’ll have signed copies of the UK hardcover for £19.00 plus only £1.00 postage
I can also offer the US edition but that will be £23.00 plus £1.00 postage.
Books can be personalised with date, location (Edinburgh) or brief greeting (to Micah, to Carina, best wishes, etc) but in the present circumstances I can only offer this option for a few days and then I’ll only be able to provide plain signatures.
e-mail me at enquiries@transreal.co.uk if you’re interested and I’ll issue a Paypal Invoice.
For the moment this offer is restricted to the UK.
