Swimming Lessons, my second novel is published in the UK today in hardback, ebook (Fig Tree / Penguin) and audio (Audible). As you can imagine I’m a bit over-excited.
There have already been some lovely reviews, with The Sunday Times saying my stories are “thrilling, transporting, delicately realised and held together by a sophisticated sense of suspense.
Wendy at Little Bookness Lane, a UK book blogger is giving away a copy of Swimming Lessons. The competition is available worldwide, and closes at midnight (GMT) on Friday 27th January. Click here to see how to enter.
Or if you don’t trust your luck, Swimming Lessons is available to buy in most independent bookshops, in most branches of Waterstones, and online. The audio version is available from Audible.
My order is placed.
Thanks so much, Bill!
Swimming Lessons arrived today.
Is the setting Studland?
It is indeed!
I’m so looking forward to reading “Swimming Lessons”
Huge congratulations and the happiest of publication days to you! Thank you so much for including a link to the giveaway post 😀
Thanks Wendy!
Fantastic–love the cover, too! Still yet to look for your work at Powell’s in Oregon but wanted to congratulate you on the second book.
Thanks Cynthia. It should be in Powell’s on 7th Feb.
Congratulations! 😀
Wonderful ! I love the cover, ordering now. Congrats from Austrralia!
Thanks so much delia! I hope you enjoy it.
I’ve ordered the hardback, because I LOVE the cover (I’ll probably love the contents too). My ‘friend’ has still not returned my original copy of Our Endless Numbered Days – Grrr!
Thanks so much Hilary!
Dear Claire,
Watching you on your journey is an inspiration and a delight on many levels. Congratulations on the publication of Swimming Lessons. I’ve been reading your interviews with various members of the publishing industry and find them informative and fascinating. Thanks for taking the time to conduct and post them.
Your life fits you well.
Yours,
Doug
Thanks so much Doug. The only down side is that I haven’t managed to keep up with any Friday Fictioneers or flash writing. Hopefully I will again in a little while. Claire
Dear Claire,
You have your priorities right. I’ve written only one story since moving to New Zealand last year. Building a small house in the forest and recreating myself. When it’s done and there are bookshelves again in my life, I’ll have two (and probably more by then) of your novels to grace them.
Stay strong and write well.
Yours,
Doug
