Clemency Slaughter and the Legacy of D'Eath - Competition Time!

Thursday, 21 March 2013

A while ago I threatened to run some sort of competition or other if (or more accurately when) I ended up with both 1,000 followers on Twitter and 1,000 friends on Facebook.

Well that magic number was exceeded a while ago now (as of writing I have 1,018 followers on Twitter and 1,030 Facebook friends) so I thought it was about time I made good on my promise.


Your Part of the Bargain

I want you to do all you can to promote the Kickstarter project I am currently running with the artist Tom Brown and publisher Ian Whates, Clemency Slaughter and the Legacy of D'Eath. I don't care how you do it - blog posts, social media campaigns, YouTube videos, get in mentioned in the press, on the radio, on TV! - just do whatever you can to get word out to the masses about this exciting adventure in publishing!

You have until the end of the month (11:59pm on Sunday 31 March) to enter - in other words ten days - and email me a link to whatever it is you've produced at info@jonathangreenauthor.com.

Be imaginative, be creative, be prolific, be persistent! But whatever you do, to be eligible for the big prize, you must let me know about it.

Our Part of the Bargain

The three of us (Jon, Tom and Ian) will decide who has mounted the most effective campaign and, as long as the project funds on 13 April, you will be invited to the grand London launch as our guest, with all that that entails (book, goodie bag, drinks reception, etc.) but without having to stump up £100 for the privilege yourself. (You must arrange and pay for your travel to London.)

And that's it!

So check out the Clemency Slaughter Kickstarter page, Facebook page, and blog, get thinking, and good luck!

Have yourself a very Regency period Christmas

Thursday, 16 December 2010


Did you know that today is Jane Austen's 235th birthday? Of course Jane Austen has a strong connection to Bath, having lived there for many years. I too have a strong connection to Bath, having grown up just outside it and having gone to school there for a whole decade (from 1980 to 1990, if you're interested). Anyway, back to the point of this post...

In her book Emma, Jane Austen wrote the following:

"At Christmas everybody invites their friends about them, and people think little of even the worst weather..."


At the Jane Austen Centre in Bath, the month leading up to Christmas is being marked with seasonal additions to the exhibition, illustrating how the festive time of year was celebrated in the early 1800s.

With specially chosen gifts in the shop and Regency style decorations throughout the house the Jane Austen Centre invites all its friends to be about them and get out of the worst weather!

This event runs from 20 November - 31 December 2010 and you can find out more about it here.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen!
