Today is International Women's Day and a certain author's birthday (I always like to think there is a connection), so what better excuse for a giveaway!

I'd like you to nominate a woman in your life who is special (for whatever reason) in the comments (you don't need to tell me why, you can just name them), and *they* will go in the draw to win - a signed copy of #thewattlei slandbookclub, a Sandie Docker book mug and some choccies. If they're on socials, tag them so they know you think they're special, if they're not, that's ok, just name them and if they win I'll contact you for their address.

In keeping with the theme of recognising special women in our lives, I'd like to give a shout out to all the women in my writing life, there are soooo many of you, and a special shout out to a few who have supported me above and beyond behind the scenes this past year...
