One year ago today, my debut novel was released on Kindle and paperback (and the next day, I used it to propose to my girlfriend). And since then, even though I haven't tried anywhere near as hard as I should have to market it, hundreds of people have read it, and a few have even liked it!

My nan didn't. She told me she had to give up near the beginning. "I don't know," she said, preparing to drop the mic and walk away, "how you come up with such weird ideas!"

But luckily, she hasn't left a Amazon review. 14 people have, and they've all been very kind. Even kinder, @amybucklesbookshelf said it was "truly astounding", and @cherrijaynebooks wrote "mind blowing" in her review. I'll never stop using reviews like that, no matter how sick they get of me quoting them.

So, here we are, a year later, and there's nothing that would make me happier right now than for hundreds MORE people to read it. Especially if one of them had the power to green-light its production as a Hollywood film, bringing me fame and fortune beyond my wildest dreams... but let's not get ahead of ourselves. How do I propose to get YOU to read it today?

For the next 5 days, you can get up to 75% off Gods and Conquerors on Kindle on the Amazon.co.uk and .com stores! The sooner you buy it, the more you save. 

Head over to the Books page today to grab your copy. You can even read the first chapter before you commit, if you're still not sure if you want a copy. Either way, I hope you have a nice day, because I will. It's filled with lovely memories and it's also a Saturday.
