So, it was a year ago today my short story collection emerged into the world, a giddy, breathless time of launches and readings and libations. I'm still overwhelmed by how well it's been received (great reviews, a couple of prizes) - and my Best Man even quoted from it in his speech at my wedding last week, though he was taking the piss.
And it's been a wonderful twelve months since, crowned with a two-book deal, the first of which inspired this blog as I began the journey writing it.
And so to celebrate today, I'm giving away a signed copy of The Method. Just leave a comment below and I'll draw a name at random next week.

Hey, Happy Birthday to The Method :) *hands over slice of book-shaped cake*.
What a fabulous year for you Tom. Congratulations :)
Am already a proud owner of The Method, so I'll just chime in with a happy birthday to your book! Looking forward to owning and celebrating the arrival of the next one.
Hi, I was struggling to find the motivation to start writing today and reading about your success gave me the spur I needed to get going. Happy Birthday to your book and well done.
Congratulations, although I too already have a copy. I just hope I'm in your position one day... :-)
I was looking at buying The Method and here you are giving me a chance to win a signed copy. What more could one ask for, to motivate me to keep on writing.
Thank you Tom

Hi Tom. Nice blog -- I'm following. Good to see another writer from SW England plying his wares.
Happy Birthday 'The method' & congratulations :)
Oh, have a 'normal' copy but would love a signed copy for my special shelf. Do enter me x
i've been waiting for the chance to get a freebie copy TV maybe this is my chance :)
Ah...a developmental milestone...The Method walks, talks and gives it attitude. I do already have one but I would love to have another....I would of course have it adopted into a good family, who can cope with its darkness.
The Method; what a great title! Hope I win a copy but I've put it on my Wish List in case I don't.

Hey found this blog through a link on Facebook from Creative Writing at EHU. I'm taking my Masters at the minute and currently living my dream of being a writer. :)
Happy Birthday to a very good book! Drinks!

Congratulations and happy book birthday Tom.
Congrats on your deal & a serious libation or two to celebrate The Method Man, if you send me a copy I promise to share a whisky with it.
What an amazing achievment! I hope to one day do the same!
