JANUARY 2010 - Newsletter

Hello from the Sky Bunker, perched upon a crumbling pile at the crest of a hill overlooking Bristol (UK).

I'm currently listening to an old favourite, the album "Within the Realm of a Dying Sun" by Dead Can Dance.  Haunting and evocative, highly recommend you check them out if you don't know them already.  Sample Dead Can Dance

SFX Magazine Interview
**********************
SFX Magazine is a big name in Euro sci-fi and last September I was approached by them to do an interview. The interview came out in November.  You can read interview here

 


 
*******************************************************
Chance to win a novel or Yellow Dawn (primary rulebook).
********************************************************

After the fun and rivalry that occurred between fans back in July 09, I've decided to run this promotion again.

Recommend a friend and be in with a chance to win a novel or copy of Yellow Dawn (at the end of February 2010)
 
Each friend you get to become a Fan of my Facebook Page will earn you a "ticket" to win.
 
The more of your friends who become Fans, the more tickets you'll score, and more chance you have of winning.

 
 
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO
-----------------------
Send as many friends as you can the link to my Fan Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/David-J-Rodger/10090348898


Tell them to become a fan, and to post a "hello" on my wall stating you recommended them.  That way I’ll know who to give the ticket to! 

Simple as that.

:o)



AND THE WINNER IS...
-----------------------
By the end of February

I’ll select one ticket at random. The name attached to that ticket will be the winner. 
 
The winner can choose to have a paperback copy of one of the following sent to them by courier post (I’ll pick up the cost):

God Seed

******************************************
New novel "Dog Eat Dog" - work in progress
******************************************

The new novel, working title "Dog Eat Dog" is the first to take place in the post-apocalyptic setting of Yellow Dawn, which is based in the same future world as my novels, ten years after it has been devastated by a terrible mutagenic virus.

I started this back in September 2009 and I'm currently about a third of the way through (word count 78,000, now on Chapter 21). My life took a dent in November when my mum died of cancer, but I've found the book a great place to work with the emotional trauma of that experience. Certainly every character in the book has lost people close to them.  So I'm able to draw on this.

I've made the first few chapters available as a PDF, feel free to grab PDF here
