Last Friday I went into the new HarperCollins offices on Liverpool St in Sydney to meet the sales staff, as well as marketing and publicity, my editor Kate Burnitt and the retiring, incomparable Stephanie Smith.
I am delighted to announce that HC are now just as excited as I am about the release of Bridge Of Swords in August 2012!
You may remember my 50 Stores In 30 Days tour of four States and the ACT to support the release of The Radiant Child, the final book in The Dragon Sword Histories.
Well, because I do enjoy it, because it works and because I am a little crazy, I'll be touring all over again this August (with a little July and September thrown in).
HarperCollins will be getting back to me with a list of bookstores who would like me to come in and sell a big stack of books and, once I've sorted that out, I'll be posting all the details here and on Facebook.
At this stage, it'll be Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra and of course Sydney.
Sydney will see an extended tour ... I anticipate visiting stores around Sydney deeper into September and possibly even October as well.
Naturally I'll also be putting details up on Twitter about what I'm doing over those key five weeks of the tour - and any dates to follow!
My name is Duncan Lay and I'm the author of the Australian best-selling fantasy trilogies, The Dragon Sword Histories and the Empire Of Bones. I am now with Momentum Books (Pan Macmillan) and my new series, The Last Quarrel is out in eBook and print. Book 2, The Bloody Quarrel, is coming out in December 2015/Jan 2016 in eBook and will be in print later in 2016. Head over to my website, www.duncanlay.com for more!
I'm glad I stumbled back onto your blog because this is excellent news. Definitely will catch you in Sydney!
