All over for another year.

By

Yes, it’s all over. Two full days sitting behind this table chatting to people from all over and signing books. Three nights camping in the freezing cold, thank goodness for eletric blankets!  And most of all thank goodness for mum who came along to help. Bringing regular hot cuppa’s and watching the stall while I ducked off for a look-see. (Thanks mum!) It also helped sharing our stall space with two lovely people,George and Gabby.  I didn’t get to see too many people I knew but the lovely Rachael Blair (Rach Johns) and her three gorgeous boys, stopped by for a quick hello.

I ran a competition for those who wanted to enter for a chance to win both my books and I drew it yesterday.

The winner of both books is :

Liz Marcus from Greenmount. Books will be posted at the start of next week Liz.

And I also did a runner up draw and this went to:

Veronica Donegan from Toodyay.

Congrats to you both.

Everyone packed up and gone.

I had lots of people asking when the next book is due out. I can tell you all it will be about April next year. Cover design is getting underway at the moment, I believe. And I’m off to get some more of the edits done. Up to page 232 of 310! I can see the last page coming closer….

Cover photo

By

My next book is at the editing stage…not long after that comes the cover design and looking for a great picture.  I thought I would put the call out, as some of you may have a great photo that you have taken yourself and it would be great to see your own photo on a book.

As the book may be called The Road Home we are thinking of a photo of a road, like the one above.  But maybe with a clear blue sky or sunsets. It could be a straight or bent road…whatever you think looks great.  So if you would like to share your photos with me, please email them to fiona_palmer.com and I will put them up on my website for all to see. 

Now I can’t guarantee that one of them will be used as the cover, all I can do is pass them on to Penguin for the graphics department to have a look.  But you never know, they just might love one of the photos!  (Just make sure that your original photo is high quality res, at least 2mb)

I’d love to have my own photo on my books, but it never works out that way. So maybe you guys will have more luck! x

Winners

By

Okay, competition has closed for the signed pre-release copy of Heart of Gold.  I had my very special mum pick a number and the lucky winner was:

Katrina Simpson!!!!  YAY Katrina.

Because so many people entered, (personally I thought you ALL deserved to win, but i’m no millionare, not even a thousandare)…but none the less, I have done two more draws for a copy of Heart of Gold.  (It will be signed, but it just won’t be a pre-release. Therefore the next winners wont get it until the start of March.)

So the lucky other winners were:

Karin Bridle and Emma Lynch!  

Congrats to you all…I just hope you enjoy it…when it arrives.  So could the winners please email me their addresses and who you want it signed to.

Stay tuned for more comps, as no doubt I will give everyone another chance closer to the release date. xx 

Please know you are all winners in my mind for taking the time to enter!!

Competition

By

Okay, so us authors usually get a few copies of our books after they are printed, and usually well before the release date.  So i’m running a competition where the winner will get a pre-released signed copy of Heart of Gold.  If you would like to be in it, all you have to do is email me at fiona_palmer@bigpond.com  and tell me why you would like a pre-release signed copy of Heart of Gold!  We will be drawing a winner on Friday 21st January. 

Good luck! x

Okay all, I have fixed the email address…yes Karin..I think I did have a ‘moment’ lol. Thanks for your help x

Now I think I have “really” fixed it.  Thank God for fans like Karin to keep me on track.  (Totally understood what you meant Karin…i’m only half techno savy lol)

Win win win!

By

For your chance to win a signed copy of my book, along with some bookmarks, fridge magnets and a Gum Tree Tavern stubby holder just answer the following question to me by email fiona_palmer@bigpond.com

(Those who have read The Family Farm will be familiar with the ‘Tree’ as I wrote about it in the book – now is your chance to have your slice of the Tree, be it in the very important form of a stubby holder and magnet)

The question is – Who was your favourite character in The Family Farm and why?  And for those who haven’t read it yet…just answer why you would like to read it instead.

I will be drawing a winner at random from the emailed entries on Wed 28th July.

Goodluck!
