\"\"<\/a>You came from all over AU\/NZ—with a few from as far afield as the US, Italy and Denmark, just for good measure—over 475 of you in fact, which is “some party” where I come from! All that virtual chocolate cake that Mary Victoria brought with her last night is definitely gone. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And you posted with enthusiasm as well, all to help me celebrate the launch of The Heir of Night <\/em><\/strong>into AU\/NZ—put simply, you rock and I think we can agree that Heir<\/em><\/strong> is now well launched.<\/p>\n

But it’s not all over yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Firstly, I now have to draw the winners of the giveaways <\/strong><\/em>and that will happen later today—given this is a big draw I thought it was important to have scrutineers on hand, both to ensure that every eligible name really does go into the “Sorting Hat” and that there is no foul interference (by Slytherin, of course) as the names are drawn out. So do check back because that list will<\/span> go up today.<\/p>\n

Secondly<\/strong><\/em>, the FSF Author Guest Series<\/strong> is about to commence with a guest post by Alan Baxter<\/strong><\/a>, an Australian writer whom I met at Worldcon—we shared a reading, in fact. I think you will very much enjoy his guest post today and I hope you will show your support by commenting here and\/or by clicking through to vist his website and find out more about Alan and his writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
