One of the best books that I’ve read this year is City Of Stairs by Rob J. Bennett, its UK publishers Jo Fletcher Books are running a tremendous competition to give away five copies of the book, plus one lucky winner will receive a £100 Red Letter Day experience.

Here’s what you would have to do for the chance to win is let Jo Fletcher Book folks know on their blog, Facebook page or Twitter – with the hashtag "CityOfStairs" – “What tangible miraculous object would you create if you were a god of Bulikov? A door which takes you to the past? A knotted cord that brings rain when untied? These are just some of the miracles the gods brought to Bulikov, but what would you add?

Let them know by October 30th for your chance to win.

There’s also good news from Luke Scull, who announced at the start of this month that the sequel to his debut The Grim Company, is at the copy editing stage. It sits currently at 154K and is expected to release in March in the UK and May in the US. Also the author recently posted the first two chapters to Sword Of The North. So head over and find out all about Brodar Kayne’s past. 

Lastly there’s another kickstarter you all might consider supporting. Kerry Schafer, the author of Between and Wakeworld is running one for the publication of The Nothing. The series was unfortunately dropped by ACE books, so checkout the kickstarter page and take a look at all the rewards up for offer.

The event is already 45% funded at the halfway mark. So do check it out and kindly considering donation to this exciting series which mixes urban and high fantasy.
