Happy Thanksgiving to all those who are celebrating it today! We're back for another set of Black Friday deals on British books - ebooks first, then traditional paper books and a separate section for some Barnes & Noble sales.
Before we get into the sales, though...We know that many avid readers are also writers. If that's you, you might enjoy a new writing podcast by British authors James Blatch and Cara Clare. They primarily discuss issues of craft, self-publishing, and marketing - so if that interests you, you can check it out HERE. This is not a sponsored mention, I just thought it might be useful for some readers.
