Has anyone read any books by Chris Cleave? :D

 

My sister and I have both read Incendiary and it quickly became her favourite book, so as it was her 21st birthday this week I dropped him an email to ask about personal book signings....

 

I really couldn't believe it when he replied to my email! I had asked him if I could post him a copy of Incendiary down to London or a cheque for a new book and postage costs etc, but he replied saying that he had a spare first edition lying around and that he would sign it for her with a birthday message and post it to me for free. All he asked was that I bought my sister a 21st birthday drink on him!! I had left it a bit late as it was her birthday in a few days so he sent it to me special delivery so that it came on her birthday - and not only that but he also included a copy of his new book, The Other Hand, signed for me and saying congrats on being such a great sister and that he hopes I enjoy his new book.

 

I just thought I would let everyone know what a nice man he is (I didn't even expect a reply really) as we are both really happy with our new books! ;):D:006:

Just think if you had asked JK Rowling.

 

Most authors are very kind.

 

I went to a Pratchett signing once and had copied one of his book covers and printed it on my T shirt.

 

He said "Thats not a legal design"

"No" i said I copied one of your book covers and printed it on my T shirt. it will never be worth anything.

 

He reached over and signed it and said "it is now!"
