Thanks to everyone

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway for my novel, Sour. The response was fantastic, far greater than I could have imagined. The winners have been selected and I'll be contacting each one in person to let them know when they'll get their signed copy of the book.

All the best,
Alan
