WIN A COPY OF ALIX BOSCO'S CUT & RUN!!
It's been a while since I've run a Crime Watch giveaway, so I thought since today is the start of a new month, now seemed like a good time. Since my first ever competition had a Kiwi crime theme (I gave away books by Paul Cleave, Vanda Symon, and Andrea Jutson), and the second an international theme (tickets to Lee Child), I thought that, turn-about, the third Crime Watch giveaway should go back to a Kiwi crime thriller focus.
As such, I've decided to giveaway a brand new copy of Alix Bosco's debut crime thriller CUT & RUN. I've spoken about this book a fair bit on this blog, but given the giveaway question, I won't say anymore about it right now. This Crime Watch giveaway is available to anyone around the world, no matter where you live (I will ship the prize internationally).
You may enter the draw by making a comment on this post, noting your full name and answering the giveaway question. The draw for the brand new copy of CUT & RUN will be made at 5pm on Monday 7 June (NZT), so you have just under a week to enter.
Giveaway Question:
What is one fact or piece of information about Alix Bosco or CUT & RUN?
Hint: if you use the search function on the sidebar, you will be able to find plenty of Crime Watch posts containing facts about the author and/or the book - you just need to note one in your entry.
Oh, and if for any reason you are having difficulty placing a comment on this blog, you can instead email me your entry, directly (name and answer to one of the above questions). Please email to craigsisterson@hotmail.com
Good luck! I look forward to receiving your entries.
Craig - Thanks so much for hosting a giveaway : ). I don't know if you accept entries from as far away as the U.S., but if you do.....
ReplyDeleteAlix Bosco is actually a pseudonym for the author of this story, which features the murder of a rugby star, and legal researcher Anna Markunas' investigation of the murder.
I'd love to win a copy : ).
Craig - Alix Bosco second book in her series, SLAUGHTER FALLS, featuring legal researcher Anna Markunas will be released in Australia and New Zealand this coming August. Hope I've copied your previous post correctly. Have fun.
ReplyDelete"Alix Bosco" writes other genres under her real name.

"This bleak, topical novel is a substantial achievement and a welcome addition to the slim canon of New Zealand crime fiction" Paul Thomas, of the NZ Herald stated this. I think he is dissing NZ and doesn't know about your blog.

Alix Bosco is a pseudonym for someone who wants to keep their real life secret...I can now reveal that person is former New Zeland Prime Minister Helen Clarke!
ReplyDeleteOK OK OK if you want an actual fact rather than an internet one....Cut & Run got to #5 on the bestseller lists for NZ Adult Fiction last year.

ReplyDeleteAlix Bosco's crime novel Cut and Run is published by The Penguin Group (New Zealand).
ReplyDeleteThe novel is the first in a planned series set in Auckland and starring legal researcher Anna Markunas.
ReplyDeleteAlix Bosco has a page on Wikipedia (perhaps created by kiwicrime??)
ReplyDeleteHer publisher, Penguin Books also tells us rather tantalisingly that she "is a successful writer in other media."
She also has a new novel SLAUGHTER FALLS due out in August 2010.
Alix Bosco (a pseudonym) lives in Auckland, New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Michael
The novel is about the murder of a rugby star
ReplyDeleteThanks for the contest. This is the first in a projected series . Involves the murder of a rugby star. jackfro@hotmail.com
ReplyDelete'Robyn Malcolm' is quoted on the cover of Alix Bosco's "Cut and Run". Amazon only lists one of Alix's books. Amazon also thinks "Alix's" name is misspelled.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity,
Darby
There’s a sense that some of the high-profile characters, including celebrities and QCs, may be amalgams of real-life New Zealanders.

Alix Bosco is a pseudonym. Does anyone know who she really is, apart from being Helen Clark
