There was a lovely article in my local newspaper, THE LIMERICK LEADER, yesterday, in which myself and Eva Byrne were interviewed about our forthcoming picture book, The Terrified Troll. The article hasn't yet been uploaded to their website, but here are some photos of the piece that I took. (The only thing I didn't like about it was that photo of the top of my head that made it look like Lord Loss had been ripping out chunks of my hair just prior to the photo shoot!!!!)

As you hopefully know by now, Eva and I are running a FUNDRAISER to produce a limited edition of the book, before we hopefully have it published by a traditional publishing further down the line. You can pre-order the book, and/or purchase some VERY cool PERKS that we've put together especially for this campaign.

Some of those perks involve beautiful limited edition PRINTS that Eva has created for the campaign -- you can see one of them in the photos, which was actually the very first trial page of the book that she ever drew. To see this in more detail, and the other two prints (all three are available either in A4 or A3 size), search for INDIEGOGO and then, on their site, search for DARREN SHAN.

The prints are great value -- Eva normally charges €60 for an A4 prints, but these are just €45 each. And if you buy more than one print, there are additional savings to be made, as we will refund you €10 per additional print, as we will be able to ship them together and save on shipping costs. So, if you buy 2 prints, we'll refund you €10, and if you buy 3 prints, we'll refund you €20, etc. We will do this by contacting you directly after you have paid and the funds have fully cleared with Indiegogo, and pay you either by bank transfer or by Paypal. This is a GREAT deal -- as I said, Eva's A4 prints normally sell for €60 each, but here, if you buy the full set, you can get all three of the A4 size prints for €115. That's 3 for less than the price of 2 of her regular prints!!!!!

As Delboy Trotter would no doubt have remarked, "You know it makes sense!!!!"
