A Heart Bent Out of Shape
Today is a VERY special day as we are celebrating the launch of my wife's fantastic second novel, A Heart Bent Out of Shape.
Emylia Hall is the real deal, folks, and she writes superb novels. Her follow up to last year's The Book of Summers (a Richard and Judy Book Club winner) takes place in the city of Lausanne, a captivating spot on the Swiss Riviera, perched at the edge of Lac Leman and surrounded by mountains. Here, while studying abroad, a young English student, Hadley Dunn, meets Kristina, a beautiful but elusive Danish girl. The two form a near inseparable friendship until one November night when, as the weather closes in around them, tragedy strikes ... and nothing in Hadley's life will ever be the same again.
A Heart Bent Out of Shape is a joy. But don't take my obviously biased word for it! Let's hear from folks who know what's what...
The Big Issue: "Hall confirms her talent for romantic but original prose."
Sunday Express: "Highly evocative and a joy to read."
Marie Claire: "Wintertime love and chilly revelations ... it's a novel that glints with passion."
Susan Fletcher (barn-stormingly talented writer of Eve Green): "...as tender and insightful as it is gripping."
And if you're in or around Bristol tonight you can see Emylia reading live at the Bird Cage on Clare Street @ Book Slam. All the details can be found HERE, the show kicks off at 8pm, and tickets are available on the door.
Come alone and say hi - it should be a great evening!

Clone Wars comic celebrates 50 issues with a VERY special story!
This is pretty cool. I've been wanting to share this for ages, and as the comic's now on the shelves it seems like an appropriate moment.
Issue 50 (or volume 6.50, if you like your details) of the monthly Clone Wars comic features a very special Etherington-penned strip.
In a special competition early in the year, readers in the UK were asked to design a brand new Star Wars vehicle, while readers in the US were asked to design a new Bounty Hunter. I was then given the challenge of writing an original story featuring both winners' creations for artist Bob Molesworth to bring to comic life! And he did a cracking job. The result is the action-packed Runaway Ride.
This much fun should be illegal. If you're one of the lucky pair who won the competition, I really hope we did you proud. Your entries were world class.
And everyone can pick up a copy at any self-respecting newsagent, supermarket or comic store, or you can subscribe HERE, and never miss another issue.
