We did it! Thanks so much to all those who voted for me for the People’s Book Prize. Heritage of Secrets came first in the fiction section. It was an incredibly close call; I only won by four votes so every vote counted! I really, really appreciated and was very touched by all the support 
If you haven’t had a chance to read it (and are curious to find out what on earth you voted for 
then you can order the book direct from Flipped Eye Publishing for the discounted price of only four quid -
