Because there are so many of you lovely people who can't make it to Gippsland tonight for the launch of Mountain Ash, it's only fair that I share the joy around a little bit - so I'm giving away a signed copy of the book to anybody who would care to claim it.

We have a winner for the 'Surrender to Summer' competition. But first I'd like to thank all the lovely people who took the time to enter. It was such a hard choice with so many different things to do with 'the brick' once you'd managed to read all 1200 pages! I loved all the entries so it was a very diificult decision.
