May 31, 2007 | Asda, Spirit Willing Flesh Weak, The Sun, free book
Okay, so my lovely editor has returned from her holidays and I’ve found out what happened with The Sun. Apparently there was some warehousing mix-up.
ANYWAY it’s going ahead this weekend, which I think means this Saturday 2 June there will be a free copy of Spirit Willing, Flesh Weak for every reader of The Sun!
Thank you everyone who bought The Sun, especially if you normally don’t. I hope you enjoyed it so much that you’ll rush right out and buy another one this weekend!

Dangit! I’m guessing The Sun is a UK thing, so I’m missing out. It’s not the first or the last time.
This book sounds so fun!
Question–You have a link to “take the first page challenge” but it dates back to October 2006. Do you think you might do it again, or something like it? Sounds very fun and educational.
Miss you in the Cave.
Julie says:
Thank you Grace!
Wow, has it been that long since the first page challenge thing? It was a lot of fun, and if you follow the links in the post you can see what other people did. I’ve done a couple of first pages since then and if you will join in I’ll do it again just for a laugh!
I miss the Cave too…there aren’t enough hours in the day. Of course I think once you’ve been in the Cave you always carry a little piece of it with you wherever you go…in my case it’s a particularly smelly piece.
Julie says:
(Oh and yes, The Sun is a UK newspaper, one of the biggest-selling in the country, apparently 3 million copies a day or something. If a fraction of that read my book for free, I will be extraordinarily happy.)
Phillipa says:
Yay! The Sun news is fantastic Julie - I shall buy it again. And I see you were up at 4.43am (I slept from 3am-5.30am I was so hyper). Lovely to meet you, Biddy and Anna yesterday…
Grace Tyler says:
Congrats, Phillipa! That is outstanding! I may not make it over to your blog, despite my intentions.
My piece of the Cave smelleth too.
Let me look through my DIPs (Dreck in Progress) and see what first page is worthy of sharing. Ha.
Jude says:
Can’t wait to get my freebie copy! Then if someone ’steals/borrows’ (as frequently happens from my keeper shelf) I won’t mind so much! Cos I’ll have a backup. jx
Chris says:
That’s exciting news - I shall be out to get a copy of The Sun tomorrow then! Will you be posing with it on page 3 ??!

Natalie Anderson says:
you know, its the circulation that’s around 3 million - the actual readership is much higher - along the lines of 7 mill or something (cos usually more than one person reads the same paper - duh!) - now how cool is that? Even if only 1/10 purchasers take up the offer that’s a hang of a lot of readers…
WTG you!
