My June COMPETITION closes at 11:59pm UK time TONIGHT. Up for grabs are four ultra-limited collector's editions Archibald Lox and the Pick of Loxes, the eighth book in the series. Each is signed and numbered (out of 5), dated 28/6/22 (28th June 2022, the day the book was released). I also scribbled in publication day!! for extra emphasis, and I even included the TIME, so each winner can pin down the very minute of the day that their copy was signed! To be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is answer a simple question and email it to me, along with your name and address. After that, keep your fingers crossed and hope YOUR name pops out of the electronic hat when I make the draw!!

1) Answer this question: "What is the name of the eighth Archibald Lox book?"

2) Send your entry to: [email protected]

3) Put your NAME in the SUBJECT BOX when you send your e-mail. Make sure you INCLUDE YOUR FULL POSTAL ADDRESS in the body of the e-mail, as well as the answer, so that I can easily send your prize to you if you win

(4) Closing date is 11.59pm UK time, Monday, June 12th, 2023.

(5) This competition is open to fans everywhere in the world, unless you work for one of my publishers or are one of my relations.

(6) You can only enter the competition ONCE. If you try to enter more than once, ALL of your entries will be disqualified.

(8) The draw for the winners will be made on or after Tuesday, June 13th, 2023.
