It’s the first week of December, so what does that mean? Yup, it’s panic-buying time for everyone who hasn’t got gifts sorted out for their friends, family and themselves!
So, by way of some blatant Yuletide self promotion, here’s a few suggestions for some things by me that make great gift choices presented in a Twelve Days of Christmas-style countdown (and yeah, some of the numbers don’t exactly match up, but whatever…)
An eBook to download free…!
Of course the best Christmas present is the one you give yourself, right? And even better when it doesn’t cost you a penny! So why not start off with my gift to you, a digital download of Rough Air, an original novella featuring Marc Dane, the hero of my bestselling action thrillers?
