In happier news...
...Stockholm Syndrome is the 4th best-seller on Lulu this week!
The top three are "Astrology At The Speed of Light", "Fitness Blender’s 8 Week Fat Loss Program to Lose Weight & Tone Up Fast", and "Accounting For Everyone", which all look BORING AS FUCK. I'm glad there's some ridiculous soap opera in the top 5 as well to balance them out :P

20% sale on Lulu, and a potential new book release...
Use the code SILVERUK until 2th July to get 20% off your purchase at Lulu!
(I'm assuming by the "UK" part of the code that it's a UK-only discount, but not sure.)
My books are here: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/richard... (paperback and pdf - I'm still planning to get them in other e-formats as soon as possible, but it's taking way longer than I expected because I lost the original word files when my computer died and copy/pasting from the pdf just means I have to manually reformat all the screwed-up line breaks!) and my friend John's are here: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/John_T_...
I've been talking to John over the last few days about our really old writing and how crap it was in comparison to now, but I dug out some ancient stories to laugh at them and ended up just going all nostalgic! I found the first m/m romance I ever wrote back when I was about 17, and even though it's daft and unrealistic and clearly written by some kid still trying to find "a voice" I still remember how stupidly fond I was of those characters. It's more of a novella length than a full novel, but would anybody still want to read it if I tidied it up a bit and put it on Lulu? It's not as full-on dirty as Stockholm Syndrome, it's mostly just clumsy and sweet... I realise that isn't nearly as intriguing as the smut :P

Birthday discount!
I'm 28 tomorrow! And, in the same kind of way that you're supposed to bring cakes into the office on your birthday, I've put a discount on the pdf versions of all three Stockholm Syndrome books. They're available at £2.80 each from Lulu.com from now until... I'm not sure. Until whenever I roll home from the pub tomorrow night with garlands round my neck and a pointy cardboard cone hat :P
Lulu sale: 20% off
I hope nobody ever actually buys anything at full price from Lulu! They have sales so regularly, it's always worth just waiting a few days until you can get stuff for cheap :P and it's great because it's the site that gives the discount, not the author, so nobody's losing out.
You can get 20% off any order until Friday 7th September by entering the code CITHARA20 at the checkout. Stockholm Syndrome lives here in paperback and pdf (I am working on reformatting the ebooks properly, I swear!), and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND John's book When the Music Stops which you can get in pdf, epub and paperback here. Spread the love!
