YOU ARE THE HERO at Christmas

One of the joys that Christmas brought this time was people posting pictures of the copies of YOU ARE THE HERO they received for Christmas on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, along with kind words in many cases. Here are just a few of them...

"Christmas just got better! Many thanks to Jonathan Green, Steve Jackson & Ian Livingstone!"

"Guy Francis Haley and Jonathan Green - Santa brought me some fine reading. Happy Christmas everyone!"

"Thank you Father Christmas! @jonathangreen - I think I have the best bookmark too courtesy of @ian_livingstone!"

"How did Santa know?! #dungeonsanddragons #starwars #fightingfantasy #DnD5 #books #xmas"

"Now this is what I call a present!! Great book Jonathan! Thanks!"

Christmas also brought a new 5-star review, bringing the current total to 34.

"I can honestly say this is a magnificent book and will take any fan of the original books on a warm fuzzy trip down memory lane."

In other news, Bloodbones the App is now available to Android users*, and as of writing this blog post, four people have already rated it 5 stars!

* The iOS version is coming soon.

YOU ARE THE HERO Selfie Competition Winner

A while ago now, I ran a competition whereby I asked readers of YOU ARE THE HERO to send me their selfies. After much deliberation I am happy to announce that we have a winner!

Jam Hirons as Akharis the Accursed

Jam will be receiving a copy of Christmas Explained: Robins, Kings and Brussel Sprouts through the post as a prize, and an honourable mention must go to Buddy Love.

Lovin' the manicure!

Merry Christmas and thank you for making 2014 the Year of YOU ARE THE HERO!

Don't forget, it's not too late to purchase a copy of YOU ARE THE HERO - A History of Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks and for it to be delivered in time for Christmas in the UK - which is also true of my new book Christmas Explained: Robins, Kings and Brussel Sprouts.

And if you do happen to find a copy of the book for you under the tree this year, please consider adding a brief review here. ;-)

YOU ARE THE HERO breaks the £10,000 mark!

Fantastic news!

As of about 10.45pm on the evening of Christmas Day, YOUARE THE HERO breached the £10,000 mark on Kickstarter! That means we're two-thirds of the way to funding with more than a third of the fund raising time still to run.

Thank you to all of you who've pledged already, and for those who haven't, there's still time to join the party and help ensure this project happens!

Oh, and Happy Boxing Day!

Happy Christmas from YOU ARE THE HERO!

We're over halfway through the YOU ARE THE HERO Kickstarter now and almost two-thirds funded.

And how's this for a fantastic Christmas present? I've written a guest post for Graham McNeill's blog which you can read here.

Happy Christmas!
