With hundreds of thousands (slight exaggeration) of entries the draw for this amazing competition to win the wonderful Renovator was postponed twice, but for those trapped in the limbo of anticipation, I have an annoucement to make.
Congratulations to Stephen Semenchuk! You are the winner. You can read the reviews of other satisfied Loathe Your Neighbor readers, right here http://dacairns.weebly.com
In other news, the awarding of this great prize marks the end of the initial marketing push for Loathe Your Neighbor. It's time for this writer to ditch the marketers cap and get back to what he loves and does best...writing. Read more about this decision at http://dacairns.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/the-last-hard-sell.html
For those who missed out, and for future readers of Loathe Your Neighbor, I offer this last chance. Read LYN, review it and e-mail me to let me know devolution_dacairns@hotmail.com and I will place you in the draw to win one of five digital copies of my debut novel, Devolution http://dacairnsdevolution.blogspot.com.au/ and one Laser e-book reader/MP4 player. Competiton closes with the release of my next novel, later in 2013.
David Lavender is a man with a talent for making bad decisions. In his fortieth year on planet earth, a dangerous restlessness overwhelms him, and, as his marriage crumbles, and a dispute with his neighbor escalates, he responds to these crises in his life with characteristic folly. Frozen out by his mysteriously indifferent wife, Lilijana. Baited by his cantankerous stepson, Tomo, and alternatively supported and rebuked by his two best mates, Matt and Chalky, will David successfully negotiate the minefield which his own discontent constructed, or will he destroy himself and everyone around him?

Your chance to win a Renovator

Purchase Loathe Your Neighbor. Read it and answer this question: What is the significance of lemons in Loathe Your Neighbor?
E-mail your answer, together with your name and purchase details to me, the author, at devolution_dacairns@hotmail.com . If you buy Devolution I will give you an extra two entries in the draw. Purchase details means place of purchase, version, (e-book or hard copy) and a receipt number. It's as easy as that.
The draw will take place on May 5, 2013 and the winner will be notified by e-mail and congratulated publicly, (unless they prefer anonymity - I sure don't!)

his arms and granite to his jaw. The battle would have been
brutal."
