Overdose Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Just thought I'd post this up for anyone that may be interested, this is also an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the largest number of book signings in one sitting: ABOUT THE BOOK When fifteen year old apprentice conservator, Wally Gobbett ,unearths a forgotten medieval manuscript, the Secret Chronicle of the Isle of Mist, hidden in the basement of the British Library in London, little does he realise that the secrets contained within its pages will draw him into a magical world that will change his life forever. Pursued by the agents of a sinister organisation known as ‘The Order’, who want the Secret Chronicle for themselves, Wally is forced to flee to the mysterious Isle of Mist, where he discovers a secret community of witches and wizards, ruled by the powerful sorcerer—Manannan Mac Lir. With the help of an unlikely group of friends, Wally battles dragons, vicious hobgoblins and the agents of The Order as he tries to solve the riddle of the Secret Chronicle and aid the sorcerer Manannan in his quest to vanquish the evil that threatens to destroy the place where the power of magic comes from—the Otherworld. Fast paced and full of wonder, Otherworld: The Isle of Mist announces Adrian Bailey as a great new voice in the world of fantasy.
mal48 Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 It would be helpful if you could give some information, such as age group the book is aimed at and price, as it may serve as a suitable Christmas present.
Overdose Posted November 17, 2011 Author Posted November 17, 2011 Oops, apologies. I've got the press release on my work email so I'll grab the details off that when I get in tomorrow morning. I knew there was bound to be something glaringly obvious that I'd forgotten....
Overdose Posted November 17, 2011 Author Posted November 17, 2011 Right, the book is aimed at the 12+ age range and prices are £11.99 for hardback and £7.99 for the paper back. Copy and paste of the the press release posted below: Local author, Adrian Bailey, has written this thrilling new novel in order to raise money for our children’s hospice – Rebecca House. Rebecca House is only partially funded by the Isle of Man Government and relies on the generosity of people like you to provide such a valuable service. The costs of printing the books have already been covered so that all the money paid will be donated to Rebecca House The book is on sale at £11.99 for a very collectable and reasonably priced hardback, which would make an ideal Christmas present, and £7.99 for the paperback. Both versions are exclusively printed for the Isle of Man, and available weeks before the book is launched in the UK and USA. We would be delighted if you would join us at the Villa Marina in the downstairs suite, where Adrian will also be attempting the Guinness World Record for the largest book signing. Don’t forget the editions on sale at the launch are exclusive and of a limited number so don’t miss out. So may we thank you in advance for supporting the Isle of Man Children’s Hospice and hope to see you on launch day (fancy dress not essential but it sure is fun!)
mal48 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 How did the book launch go and the record attempt with the book signing.There was not many there when I called in.
Overdose Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 I'm not surprised, it doesn't happen until this coming Sunday so I'd say you were probably a week too early!
mal48 Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 That explains it ,I thought I had the time wrong.
