Happy New Year everybody!

I hope you all had a great one - I certainly did - and I'm still suffering!

However, I'm pleased to say that A Murder Of Crows has got off to a great start this year with three more pledges! So thank you to the following:

Tracey McMillan

Nikki Anderson

Greg Herren

Nikki and Tracey are old friends of mine from my student days and Greg is a professional and very prolific writer himself so thank you guys!

So, as far as I can see in order for me to get to my target I need to gain about 1% each day. This is Day 16 and I'm at 16% - so I'm on track - and there's more pledges waiting to go in that haven't been accounted for yet!

However, in order to keep up the momentum I need you, dear readers, to help me - so please spread the word about my book as far and wide as you can - you never know who might be interested!

In the meantime, I hope you all have a happy, healthy and prosperous year ahead of you.

Best Wishes,

Ian.
