It’s that time of year, folks…Christmas is almost upon us. Naturally everyone is offering sales and discounts, and my Etsy shop, Icy Handmade is no different. I’m currently offering 10% off everything until 12 December – simply add the code XMAS10 during checkout to receive your discount. Don’t forget I have a couple of pieces related to The Necromancer’s Apprentice in the ‘merchandise’ section.
However this is very much a fundraising endeavour for me. As most of you know, I’m working on a PhD thesis in Film Studies, with heavy emphasis on the Gothic. The Gothic has enjoyed a slight revival of interest of late, possibly due to the Terror and Wonder exhibition at the British Library, and my supervisor wants to me present a paper at the International Gothic Association conference in July 2015. I’d love to go, but it’s in Vancouver! It’ll cost me a pretty penny, but I would love to go, and I don’t doubt that such a stimulating environment will also help with my fiction, as well as my academic work. So all proceeds from Icy Handmade will go towards my intended Vancouver trip!
If you would like to take advantage of my offer and would like items for Christmas, please note the posting deadlines for me to mail from the UK;
