Book giveaway -- spot the difference!

To mark the publication of Dan and the Dead I’m giving away a signed copy. But since it’s no fun just handing books out willy nilly, you’re going to have to work for this one. So here, for your coffee-break amusement, is a pair of identical pictures of our hero, Dan. Identical, that is, except for one small but notable difference.


When you have found it, send an e-mail to danandthedead@gmail.com and I’ll put your name into the Hat of Fate. On Saturday the 16th of June, I’ll pull out a name at random. And may Dame Fortune (who sort of appears in the book) smile upon you. 

Click for a closer look at the pictures, if your browser supports that. The difference is subtle, but should be visible even at crappy blogger resolutions. And if you really get stuck, ask a friendly child to do it for you!

  7. Thomas, I've been terrible and not congratulated you on your Haunters book launch. Such brilliant news, a big congrats from all of us. I'm so pleased it was a great success in Cambridge. Well done you! OK, now I'm off to spot the difference or I may just get a certain 11 year old to help these aging eyes !!! Oh and another congrats for Dan and the Dead, there seems to be no stopping you..... Penny
