And the prize on offer is a publishing contract for a new work for the author chosen as having produced our favourite second half!
So, if you haven't already, and whether for yourself or for anyone you know who likes to write, see details and make sure you order your copy now.

The blog is written in the form of letters, to read a taster below:
From: Jane Turley
To: Gary Davison
Subject: A Tale of Two Halves
Dear Gary
I’ve been reading your novel A Tale of Two Halves. I’ve found it fascinating to read about Jay and his teenage gang. It is such a gritty story line. Of course there weren’t any children like that at my school but I often saw them from the Bentley.
Anyway, I was totally gripped and wondering what D’s vicious dad does next and then I reached page 72 and it was blank. In fact, the rest of the entire book was blank!
I suggest you contact your publisher and tell them there is a major printing error. Also, I’d like a replacement copy.
Kindest Regards
Jane
Ps: Unless you want my copy back, I’ll use the blank pages for my recipes.
