We’re halfway through January. It’s cold and wet, the excess of Xmas seems a lifetime ago, going to the gym and keeping off the booze has already lost its allure, and it’s next to impossible to believe that summer will ever really arrive.
What you need is something to boost your morale. And we can help.
First of all – in case you hadn’t heard – today the comedian Al Murray brightened all our lives* by putting himself forward as a candidate in the General Election. In South Thanet. Against Nigel Farage. A quick poll of the electorate here in Ignite Villas reveals that a) we don’t think anything has ever made us happier, and b) from now on, whenever we look at Farage on TV… we’ll see the Pub Landlord. Al Murray, you’re a genius. Any of you interested in Al’s policies – which are equally inspired – will find them here. And if that hasn’t kick-started a national mood of celebration, we don’t know what will.
Greedy for still more good news? Here it is. The Ignite book sale starts tomorrow.
It’ll run to the end of the month, and it’s going to see all of our books at special low prices. Most of them will be at half-price or less, and for the next two weeks even our best-seller City Baby will be cheaper than ever. So don’t miss out. This will be your last chance to get your hands on a copy of Dave Barbarossa’s novel Mud Sharks, and it’s going to be an unprecedented opportunity to pick up some great writing from wonderfully talented writers, at great discounts. If you’re after passionate, comic political poetry, dark tales of richly imagined lives in Bradford, or simply true stories of life riding the punk rock roller-coaster, now’s your chance.
Treat yourself, or your family, or tell your friends. Or any combination of the three. From February, everything will be back to full-price. And by then we’ll have news of our next publication, too.
And we’ll be that little bit nearer summer.
*In the UK, anyway. To our friends in Europe and North America we can only say that he’s doing this for all of us. Trust us on that.
