Now, here’s the thing about living on one side of the world while your books are published on the other: a great deal of the exicting stuff happens “while you are sleeping.” The flip side of that coin, is that sometimes you get up in the morning to read some very<\/span> exciting emails.<\/p>\n

As a writer, there’s not much that’s more exciting than getting the email that says an author whose work you have loved since their<\/em> very first novel hit the shelves, also likes your<\/em> book.<\/p>\n

So as you can imagine, there were a few handsprings and cartwheels when I opened my editor, Kate Nintzel’s, email titled “Robin Hobb on The Heir of Night<\/em><\/strong>” and read the following:<\/p>\n

\n

“THE HEIR OF NIGHT by Helen Lowe is a richly told tale of strange magic, dark treachery and conflicting loyalties, set in a well realized world.”<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

— Robin Hobb<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

A very special moment.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Robin Hobb<\/a>. I feel very honoured.<\/p>\n

And although it’s only midway, this is already shaping up to be a week of special moments:<\/p>\n

On Monday, I wrote about The Heir of Night<\/em> AREs (Advance Reader Editions) arriving <\/a>and how exciting and special that was.<\/p>\n

And today, my US publisher, Eos, are featuring an intro from me on their Out of this Eos<\/strong><\/em><\/a> blog and giving away 5 AREs of Heir<\/em> to readers. Sadly, this is only for US\/Canada readers, since Eos is only publishing into that market\u2014but I do have one, personally signed ARE right here to give away to a reader from “anywhere else” who comments on this post today: the winning name to be ceremonially drawn out of a hat before the next post goes up tomorrow!<\/p>\n

So comment away\u2014and do check out the Out of this Eos post<\/a>. I am sure Kate would love for you to leave a comment there as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
