My latest novel, *LIRA*, began during a walk and a conversation about *Highlander*. What would living forever actually feel like? That question became the story of an immortal woman, a bookshop in York, and a man who gives her a reason to risk loving again.

1,043 Thank-Yous: The Lira Giveaway Is Closed

The Lira giveaway closed last night, and I'm still a little stunned by the final number. 1,043 of you asked for a copy.
