And being a far minded person (at least most of the time) that makes sense to me!

So once again here are the rules; review Weather Child on itunes, podiobooks or podcast pickle – or indeed blog about it (multiple entries are indeed allowed) then email me pip at pjballantine dot com to let me know. This is so I have that all important contact address.

I will draw three entries. The first prize is a hamper of kiwi goodies, including a signed copy of Chasing the Bard and Digital Magic. And there will be two runner up prizes of a signed copy of either of those two novels.

The final episode will drop on the final day of July. This has been a blast, so hang onto something (perhaps a handkerchief) and prepare for the end of Weather Child.

So here is the map of the locations from Weather Child, including links to historical images of what they looked like. As the story proceeds I will add new locations and images. (No spoilers here)
