Winter Solstice – Win a Signed Book
It’s Winter Solstice today, so happy solstice to those who celebrate it. I wrote a post on my other blog about the solstice and the part it plays in one of my novels. A quick look at my Amazon page and the blurbs for my books there will make it obvious which one. I mention that because all this month I have been running a competition on my other author Facebook page, giving quotes from my novels and inviting people to guess or say which book that quote is from. There is a prize on offer, a signed paperback copy of ‘Banyak & Fecks’ my historical novel about life in the East End in the 1880s. Every correct answer to the 23-day quiz will go into a virtual hat and one drawn at random will win the book and be announced on Christmas Eve. Anyone can enter, and today’s quote is drawn from one of my James Collins books. I know that many Symi Dream readers have read some of these books, for which I am internally grateful, and so you might recognise today’s quote from the description on Amazon. If you do, head to my Facebook page and comment with your answer. Feel free to like and share the page too if you would.
So, from what novel (or its description) does this quote come?
“…finds himself the unwitting hero in a struggle between superstition and sense, denial and love, with no escape from either.”
There, that done, I can now return you to our regular programming and show you some of Neil’s recent photos of Symi.
