Hannu - voice of the future

I'm very happy to inform you that yet another member of the East Coast Writers Group (to which I belong) has made it big.  Hannu Ranjaniemi has just had a major three book pre-empt offer made on the first chapter of his SF novel by Gollancz. That's a three book deal on just 24 pages, folks. Something tells me this is going to be an outstanding trilogy! Go Hannu!
