THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR - COVER

This is the cover of my IDB novella The Other Side of the Mirror.



Designed by Iseult Murphy. Looks good, doesn't it?

Currently being proofed, my story should be available in the near future. I'll keep you posted!

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF BOOKS

Yesterday was the International Day of Books, and also the 11th anniversary of the Disresponisble Nodpots. How did you spend it?

The proof copy of 'The Other Side of the Mirror' has not yet arrived from the printers. It has been shipped and it would have been nice to have read it at least on the big day but it was not to be.

Instead a new arrival joined the family, a cute 9 week old Cavalier King Charles ruby pup called Honey. It was great fun meeting this cheeky little thing, and it didn't take her long to feel at home.

THE BIG DAY DRAWS NEAR

Yes, indeed, July 27th approaches!

I got the final edit done to my chapbook (although it is quite long and may really be classified as a novella), approved the brilliant cover design, and am now waiting for the printers to ship me a copy.

I have to say that I'm really looking forward to seeing it. I hope people will enjoy the story - it's always difficult to judge your own work, so I have no idea whether the tale will bore, bemuse or exasperate people! Naturally I hope it will entertain and amuse them - amuse as in an engaging story, rather than humorous laugh-out-loud, because it's actually meant to be a horror story.

Anyway it's called 'The Other Side of the Mirror', and it will be available soon to the general public. I will also be launching my own website in the near future, which will have all the details about my book and the other IDB chapbooks.
