It was my 49th birthday earlier this month (I know -- I don't look it!!!!). To celebrate, I decided to run a competition with a specially dedicated and signed copy of Archibald Lox: The Missing Princess (the Volume 1 omnibus of my new series, which collects the first three books into a nice-and-weighty single edition). It features a Happy Birthday message to myself, and the date (I signed it on July 2nd, which was the day of my birthday). Many of your Shan friends might have signed and dedicated books by me in their collection, but none of them will have a dedication quite the same as this one!!

The competition closes at 11:59pm tonight (Thursday 15th July). If you'd like to enter, all you have to do is answer a very simple question and email it to me. You can find that question and email address in the July issue of my Shanville Monthly newsletter, by clicking here: https://darrenshan.com/news/shanville-monthly

Good luck!!!!!
