I was sorry just now to see my book, `Blood River’ vanish from this list. Apologies to the 50 or so members who voted for it. I am trying to work out where those votes went. We authors are rightly not allowed to put our own books on lists like this, nor can we vote for them. So, to the kind supporter who first put the book on this list, a particular apology. And to anyone who might help me better understand why the book was removed, please message me, privately if you prefer. I would love to avoid similar mistakes in the future and to learn if I have done anything wrong. With best wishes to all who make GoodReads an important hub for readers, writers and bibliophiles, author Tim Butcher
