Yesterday, I advised that today, March 3, was launch day for The Heir of Night in the United Kingdom. A big day for the Heir, if necessarily somewhat muted because of the earthquake situation here.

But because the UK is 13 hours behind New Zealand and I would like to synchronize with the actual launch day there, I won’t be posting the official “Helen Lowe on Anything, Really launch day post” until 8 pm, NZ time. (This will be 7 am UK time, when I also have a guest post going live on the Orbit blog.)

And remember, as well as giving away away three signed booksets of the UK first edition of The Heir of Night and Thornspell–-to be drawn from those who comment on the official launch post, here on “… Anything, Really”, that is going up at 8 pm*—I’ll also be donating a dollar for every person who comments on the official launch post (or in fact any of my March 3 posts)  to the NZ Red Cross 2011 Earthquake Appeal, up to a maximum of $500.

So tell everyone you know to come and comment to support my “The Heir of Night UK launch and earthquake appeal” launch-a-thon. 🙂

* Note: The official launch day post will stay in place until 8 pm, Friday 4, New Zealand time (7 am, Friday 4, UK time) so you’ll have plenty of time to get your comment in.
