Phew! Nothing new to add to add really. I don’t spend much time here because I’m spread way too thin as it is – life is crazy trying to keep a travel business alive during this time and also publicise book one and edit book two and I genuinely struggle with fitting it all in and not burning out.
However – when I do have time and inclination,…[Read more]

Yes, my thoughts exactly @athelstone. I did the same thing – I specifically asked my publisher to brief the designer to NOT include illustrations of the characters, for precisely the reasons you say. I wanted the kids to have ownership of them. Silhouettes are fine, but not drawings. Funny how we all feel the same about this!

I gushed all over this on social media and have only just seen it here – so congratulations on a thing of beauty (autocorrect tried to make that a ‘biting of beauty’, and perhaps I should have let it), which is quite perfect. xx

It is a thing of BEAUTY and I just love it, @raine! It’s so perfect for your prose – it’s mysterious and evocative and moody with an edge of wildness, and fox. It’s perfect! SO exciting isn’t it? xxx

Hi Doug, @raine and @janeshuff have both given you great feedback and I agree with them both (though Jane’s reply keeps vanishing! It’s like a hall of mirrors in here sometimes).
Thought I would jump in and give my ha’penny’s worth – I was lucky enough to be signed up by an agent and get a deal with a trad publisher (Penguin Random House) which…[Read more]

My cover art for When Days Tilt – the first book in my series (which is only two books long atm) – is here and it’s beautiful! So very happy with this – the publisher created it with a designer and I had input at the very beginning, but have been sitting back biting my nails ever since. I was convinced I would be disappointed (my expectations were…[Read more]

It’s SO brilliant @janeshuff and its heartening to see these indie presses opening the field up to interesting, less mainstream and more diverse work. The publishing field could do with some opening up and its good to see it happening here. So happy your work has found a good home! See you out there in 2021! 👏🍾

My lovely, I feel for you and know just what you mean!! It’s real, and it will be permanent, and that is full of daunt. But forget all that. You have to. You probably have an ideal reader when you write? Write for them. Make it good for THEM. And a work of art is never finished, merely abandoned. You will have to walk away at some point, but…[Read more]
