To help promote the release for The Sons of Thestian and Blood of the Delphi I will be running a colouring competition from today (Friday the 28th of October) until Sunday, the 18th of December, 2016, 17:00 GMT.

To enter the competition:

  • Download the image you want to colour, from the selection on this page below. (PLEASE NOTE – These images are see-through PNG’s, so when you click on them, it will appear to send you to an entirely black media file. Simply right-click on the black page and save the picture to your computer. It will appear in your files.)
  • Colour the image in whatever way you see fit! (You can print it out and colour with pencil, or use your computer!)
  • Send your entry to HarmatiaCycleCompetition@yahoo.com by the 18th of December, 17:00 GMT. Please set the subject line as ‘Colouring Competition’ and include  your name and where you are from* in the body of the email.
  • There is no limit to submissions – you may colour one image, or all of them, or do the same one several times. Only one prize will be awarded per participant (eg. You may not take 1st, 2nd, 3rd place all together). Your best entry will be judged.
  • Please feel free to share your amazing work online. If you do, I would love for you to tag me or send it my way, so I can see and like it on Instagram (@m.e.vaughan), Twitter (@M_E_Vaughan), Facebook (@M. E. Vaughan) and Tumblr (@mevaughan). Also be sure to use the #HarmatiaCycle #TheSonsofThestian and #BloodoftheDelphi tags, so that other fans can see your work too!
