Hello everyone, and Happy Saturday!

The Signing:

As we’ve mentioned before, Amanda Hocking (the twenty-something self-publishing phenomenon that has been since picked up by St. Martin’s in the US and Tor in the UK) will be signing copies of Switched at the Forbidden Planet London Megastore next Saturday (January 25) from 1 – 2pm. PLUS, courtesy of Forbidden Planet, anyone that attends the event and mentions The Book Smugglers will receive a free poster (while supplies last).

While the event is great for everyone local to the London area (including Ana), we also want to make sure international readers get in on the action, too! Hence, THE GIVEAWAY!

The Book:


When Wendy Everly was six-years-old, her mother was convinced she was a monster and tried to kill her. It isn’t until eleven years later that Wendy finds out her mother might’ve been telling the truth.

With the help of Finn Holmes, Wendy finds herself in a world she never knew existed – and it’s one she’s not sure if she wants to be a part of.


The Trailer:

The Giveaway:

We are giving away one signed copy of Switched, as well as a voucher for £10 good at ForbiddenPlanet.com. The giveaway is open to ALL and will run until Friday January 20 at 11:59 P.M. (PST). In order to enter, simply leave a comment here! Only one entry per person, please (multiple comments will be disqualified). We will randomly pick and announce the winner on the day of the event, January 21. Good luck!
