🗓 In a feat of amazing planning (not) I managed to be away on holiday just before this campaign started, which meant I was kinda scrambling to get everything ready in time, and didn't get everything done that I'd hoped for (see later for what!).

😎 The week before this went live, I visited the Shetland Isles, off the northern tip of Scotland, for the very first time. It's a stunning place, very remote, with more sheep than people!


✍ Then last week I was away on a Writers' Retreat, which was great fun and friendship (plus working on another Lady Persephone story!) but meant I only managed to write one update for the campaign...


🙏 My dodgy planning is why I have been so grateful to my backers for supporting my project, as I've felt like I've been scrambling to keep up 😅 It's just as well the book is already written and ready to go!

Anyway, I've eventually managed to get the designs finalised for the hardback's dustjacket and cover 😄, and here they are:


➡ If you want to check out the hardback, please click the images above or this link.

If you want to change your tier, just select your current tier and click “Edit your pledge.”

⏰ There's less than 48 hours to go, so if you want us to have the colour map in all books, and end papers in the print books, please tell your friends! We're SOooooo close!

👋 First of all, THANKS to all the new backers who've joined us these last couple of days! I've been so amazed at how the campaign is going, I really appreciate each and every one of you 😁

🎁 Everyone who supports the project in this final week (days 15-21), will receive these two bonus novels from 2 of my author friends, as will all previous backers:

⭐ Also, thanks to those who took the time to vote in the poll. The most popular option was to add Colour Maps to the book, so we'll do that if we reach $1,400 raised. We're close! Help us get there by sharing the project with your friends .

⭐⭐ The next most popular option in the poll was Custom End Papers for the print versions, so we'll do those if we reach $1,600 raised. There's still time!

❓ Now, have you backed my partner project, Sherlock Holmes: Crimes for Christmas? You'll get a collection of all new Sherlock Holmes mysteries from an award winning author.

➡ Don't miss out! Back it today!!

➕ PLUS!!! If you back both our projects, you'll get an extra 2 books, one from each of us:


That's it for now! Please keep sharing and help us reach the next goal. 😎

Yay! 🥳

I mentioned before that this is a new platform for me to run a campaign on, and I have to say, you backers are the best! 😍
