News from Rob: "Telnic commissioned me to write a ten episode treasure hunt novella - with each globetrotting chapter providing a riddle that leads the heroes to another destination, and the readers to the next instalment the following week. And at the end of the quest, one reader can unlock a clue to win a rather good prize. I've just finished writing it today, so at least *I* know how it ends... Fun, mayhem, and sword swallowing ensues!"

competition
