Goodreads has approved my giveaway of 10 signed copies of Driven to Distraction (goes live at midnight on 19th June and runs until 19th July).
I've just had a check of how the ad will look. To the right of the screen it has my photo and says "Giveaway by Stuart - 207 books & 4 friends." That doesn't make me sound sad and lonely at all, does it! Why not add insult to injury and add a quote saying, "I consider my books my friends."
In all seriousness most of my friends don't have a Goodreads login. Before I published my book, neither did I. I don't really know why that is as I've found it a great website to use to see what others are reading and what they thought of books I've already read.
Perhaps it's because in my previous career as an accountant I was looking at a computer screen all day everyday and wanted a break when I finally got home of an evening.
As a writer I guess I still do spend a lot of time in front of the computer but it's a job I absolutely love doing. And working for myself I can just login to Goodreads and Amazon when I want, not just when the boss is away from her desk.
Mind you I need to start rationing the time I spend on this site, checking to see if anyone has liked my page, as I still have a first draft of book 3 to finish before starting final edits of book 2.
So, back to it then. Think of something funny...

Well that's the giveaway finished. Congratulations to the ten winners. I have been sent your details and will be getting the books into the post either this week or early next week. The majority of them are being sent overseas so will probably take about 5 working days to arrive once I have posted them. I really hope you enjoy the story and would appreciate a review/rating once you have read it.

I would like to thank all 1,369 people that entered the giveaway. I hope you will still get yourselves a copy of Driven to Distraction to read as, let's face it; I could really use the sales. ☺

My second novel, Nothing Ventured, is coming along and should be available by November 2016. I will certainly run another giveaway when that comes out.

Thank you all again.

Just to let you know, I'm running a giveaway for one of 5 signed copies of my second novel, Nothing Ventured.
