Stuart Aken: The 12 Days of Launch Countdown: Day 1

Can it really be the day before the launch of A Seared Sky: Joinings.

Excited? I can’t wait!

In the spirit of that well-loved seasonal song, I offer you the 12 days of countdown.

In reverse order.

And, on the final day of countdown, I give to you

One ominous omen:

The Skyfire – searing the sky to burn the underserving?

Who will burn? Will the omen lead the way to resolution or disaster? Find out when you read A Seared Sky: Joinings, launched in print and ebook formats, by Fantastic Books Publishing, tomorrow.

There’s a great party full of fun, giveaways and more. And it’s virtual, so you can join in from anywhere in the world. One click here, and you can be one of the first to get the paperback or ebook; or both!

We want as many of you as possible to be involved, so we’ve decided to start at 11:00 GMT, that’s 12:00 noon BST, and I intend to be on hand for at least 12 hours, and, if I can keep awake, longer.
