I am incredibly proud to finally be able to let you all know about the project that’s kept me occupied, and fairly quiet on social media since the start of the year: 48,000 words; many , many new illustrations; a lot of re-writing, and a few headaches and my magnum opus is now with my publishers( how posh does that sound?). The design and layout process has started, and I expect to have the page proofs to check (carefully) by mid August and an index to create, then it’ll go to print.
Publication is excepted to be early next year, and you can bet I’ll be letting everyone know just where and when it can be bought. My publishers are The Crowood Press, who will be selling it directly from their site initially, and I’ll also have copies to sell (which I can sign, personalise and dedicate ) -again, I’ll let everyone know as and when these are available.
Here’s the proof of the front and back covers: I actually wrote the blurb for the back cover, so it’s quite surreal to see what professional writers have done with my text!
