The Invisible College Trilogy Front Covers

Thank you to everyone who entered my competition to win one of five free signed copies of They Do Things Differently Here, Book 1 in The Invisible College Trilogy, an apocalyptic dystopian conspiracy mystery, equally enjoyable for young adults and adults.

The winners’ names, selected using a random number generator, are listed at the foot of this page.

You Can Still Order The Books

For those who did not win, the books can be ordered from Amazon UK here, or from Waterstones here, Blackwell’s here and Barnes & Noble.

They can also be ordered from good independent booksellers, including The Book Inn, Leigh-on-Sea and Red Lion Books, Colchester. Waterstones branches in Chelmsford and Cambridge, and Foyles in Chelmsford have copies in stock.

About The Invisible College Trilogy

Emily and Peter discover their arrival in Templewood is no accident. The village is home to a mysterious Sect that believes Peter holds the key to unlocking an ancient prophecy that will provide them with the information they seek to enable them to carry out their plan. Emily and Peter find themselves in a race to solve the mystery and defeat the Sect.

The storyline contains many elements to engage and excite the reader: a secret location, the mysterious Sect, a conspiracy, a prophecy based on real ancient myths and legends, a book of arcane knowledge (of which one key volume is missing), the quest for hidden knowledge and treasure, an apocalyptic event and hints of the supernatural.

The Winners

The winners are:

Joanne Smith

Sarah Austin

Ruth Harwood

Harline Parkin

Iain Maciver.

All have been notified by email and the books have been posted second class (Tuesday  21st February 2017).

    Well you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but I am, and these covers are gorgeous!

    It’s good for both an adult and a child to read the same book then discuss it afterwards to help the child with literature skills.

    My daughter is a bit of a bookworm and recently got told in school that she had read more words this year than any one else in the entire school. She is always looking to discover new authors.
