For nine long years I pitched the first of the Harriet Gordon Mystery to publishers and agents. I believed passionately in the story that had been with me since I first met "Harriet" in the microfiche room of the Singapore National Library (see introducing-harriet-gordon.html) but it seemed I would never find a home for her...
And now the day has come! SINGAPORE SAPPHIRE goes live across the United States and, I hope in as many other places as it can possibly be! As well as print and digital, most excitingly for this long term audio book fan, it is also available as an audio book. The narrator is wonderful... and I am sure you will love it!
Because I live in Australia, I am not able to walk into the nearest Barnes and Noble and take a #shelfie which is why I am hoping that my friends across the USA can help me by taking a photo of SINGAPORE SAPPHIRE on the shelf of your favourite bookseller and enter it in the #SingSaphShelfie contest (details below!). There is a $50 Amazon gift card on offer and if you happen to see it on an airport bookshelf - there will be a mystery bonus prize! Don't forget to add where SINGAPORE SAPPHIRE was sighted! Friends in other countries are also welcome to send me #shelfies and will be in the running to win the gift card.
Here's to Harriet and her friends... and if you can't wait for Book 2, THE COLONEL'S LADY will be out this time next year (at least that's the plan!)
