It's 25% competition time!

I've now reached 25% of funding for my new book Constable Colgan's Connectoscope. Yep, I'm a quarter of the way there. It's all very exciting. And so, to mark the occasion, I've decided to offer a very special prize.

I must stress here that the competition is only open to people who have pledged towards my book on the Unbound site.

Of course, if you haven't already pledged, you can do so now and join in the fun if you want to. Levels of funding start at just £10 - that gets you the ebook and the audiobook editions. £20 will get you an ebook, audiobook and a beautifully made hardback book. From there on up, the more you pledge the more you get including invites to the launch party, signed editions, limited edition prints etc. But whatever level you pledge at, you'll get your name listed as a supporter in the back of the ebook and hardback. And you'll get access to my Author's Shed where you can enter the 25% Competition.

The prize is very special. I've got together with award-winning bookbinder Amanda Slope from Great Missenden to create something utterly unique. She's re-covering a hardback copy of my first book Joined-Up Thinking in a beautiful handmade binding. It'll be completely one-of-a-kind and will be signed by me. I can't show you exactly what it will look like yet but here's a taster of some of her work:

So, if you want to take part, pop over to my page at Unbound, log in and have a look at the competition rules in my Author's Shed. There are runner-up prizes too.

Good luck!
