1. Gillan Polack’s Women’s History Month Series: A Guest Post by Mary Victoria<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Mary Victoria<\/p><\/div>\n

Firstly, my friend and fellow author, Mary Victoria<\/a>, sent me a link, accompanied by this cryptic note:<\/p>\n

“I hope you enjoy! NOT an April fools! \ud83d\ude42 “<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

On clicking on the link, I found an article that began as follows:<\/p>\n

“She writes with aplomb; with heart; with grace. She is a New Zealander, a Christchurch earthquake veteran and a lover of trees. To those of you in the know, these few words will immediately evoke the name \u2018Helen Lowe\u2019. But perhaps there aren\u2019t as many of you in the know as I should like, so I will introduce my chosen writer for Women\u2019s History Month with a quote from one of her books. This is how she begins the tale of Lady Mouse, or Myr, one of the main protagonists of<\/span> Daughter of Blood<\/a> and easily my favourite Lowe character to date …”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

UK\/AU\/NZ<\/p><\/div>\n

Did I enjoy this introduction and all that followed? Being human, dear readers, of course I did! I also may have blushed a little and certainly felt both honoured and humbled.<\/p>\n

To read everything Mary had to say click on the following link:<\/p>\n

2. Waterstones Swansea (UK) Features A “Best Of” Display<\/h3>\n

And guess what’s on it? Yep, you guessed it, it’s The Heir of Night<\/em><\/strong>! (Check out the bottom row, left-most book. \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n

So here’s the pictorial evidence — a screenshot of the tweet.<\/p>\n

And another screenshot providing a closeup of the pic:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And as I tweeted when I saw it: so very nice to see The Heir of Night<\/em> enjoying the crown of very good company.<\/p>\n

Thank you, too, to Mary Victoria and Waterstones Swansea for adding a touch of starshine to my week. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
