Hi there,

If you haven't already bought a copy of The Charm of Revenge, I am running a promo for this week only on Amazon (ending Friday).

You'll also see the new cover on the KDP version, which will be on the paperback, and hardback versions in the next ten days.

Just been reading all the posts about this book - terrific! Anyone ever had a fight with a woman in a Karate or Kung-Fu dojo or seen them nearly kill each other at martial arts competitions?

I have! If you're a guy reading this, I can tell you, don't go there! Women can be tough, merciless and fast! My Lord, I mean super-fast. Which is of course why Wing Chun is such an effective style and was developed by a woman.

I'm sure the debates over The Butterfly Garden will continue - hugely successful book that it is, but as for underestimating women, I wouldn't and anyone that has read The Charm of Revenge, knows why.

Happy reading.

Hi, just a quick post to let you know that the Collector's edition cover of The Charm of Revenge (the one with the knife), will no longer be available in print or digital format after 31st December.

To mark the occasion, the final print copy giveaway starts on 28th October and will be the ONLY copy to have ever been autographed.

If you want your friends to share the chance to win a collector's piece, be sure to let them know.

Good luck.

Tom

I would like to say how incredible the FBI have been in cracking a child trafficking ring today. One of the major factors that motivated me to write The Charm of Revenge, was meeting people that had been abused by the Church when they were in foster care as children. These people, who have become friends, are now in their fifties and sixties yet still carry the scars.

The animals that prey on the innocent are a disgrace to humanity and in these moments when organizations such as the FBI break these trafficking rings, it gives a glimmer of hope that such atrocities will not continue undetected. These men and women of the FBI and other anti-crime networks are heroes, sadly, often unsung heroes, but heroes nonetheless.

Hello there,

Thank you for entering to win a copy of The Charm of Revenge and of course, congratulations if you have just won.

I put up a post a short while ago about delivery issues outside of the US, Canada and the UK because we have experienced some frustration getting books delivered to India, Peru, Russia etc. In several cases having to order 3 just to get one of them through.

Fortunately, the Goodreads support staff are fantastic once they have been notified that a book has not arrived, so we have been able to jump on it and get it resolved.

As a policy now, all prizes are ordered on the day the winner is selected. If you are in the US or UK, that means you should receive it within a week - normally within a few days. If you are in India, Russia, Australia etc, it will take a few weeks. However, please, please contact Goodreads support if it has not arrived in the time expected.

Best wishes
Tom
