Still time to enter this. I'll choose and announce the winners early afternoon tomorrow (Sunday) and post the books and hares on Monday.
The hares work well as bookmarks but you might decide they're a bit too nice for that. They're originals, not "copies". Linocut by my mum, Jo, on v nice paper.

I thought it might be nice to give away my last 2 signed hardbacks of my novel 1983, with two lovely linocut hares by my mum.
All you have to do to enter is repost this (& leave a reply).
The book's been called "Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut and Sue Townsend”.
Extract in the replies.

Is there a reason I ask that the Times are using a picture of asylum seekers in a boat to describe rules for migrants who came on legal routes such as skilled worker visas for doctors?
Tough new conditions to be imposed on migrants who want to settle in the UK will not apply to more than a million people who arrived in the UK under the post-Brexit immigration surge
Labour’s tough new rules will not apply to migrants already in UK

Step 1: Say something racist.
Step 2: Get called racist.
Step 3: Cry victim, shout “cancel culture,” and watch the media apologise to you.

There’s so much detail in every one. And if that wasn’t enough, an extra special, very limited edition was also coloured by Kirsty. Not just coloured in, though, it was hand painted. There will be another edition, soon. Follow us for more updates. We’re cut.fromtheland on Insta.

This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
