getting a cover for a book
This is a strange way of going about things, but I’ve just chosen a cover for a book that I haven’t finished writing yet. We’ve been running a competition over at Arachne Press for the covers of the next two books, and I got down to three gorgeous, wonderful designs for the reprint of Mosaic…

Nostalgia for christmas past
There’s nothing like being ill just before Christmas. We dragged round to get the tree, and left it in the hall long enough for Julian to spray it in protest at the Burnham wood aspects of the yule branch. I washed the cat pee off, cut the bottom off to get it in the stand,…

Blackheath Cendrillon: A slipper and a ring
L.C. here. This is my last post on behalf of Cherry. She says I’ve behaved very irresponsibly and I am lucky not to have been had up in front of the Leveson Enquiry. Anyway, I’m feeling a bit crest-fallen because I didn’t find out who the mystery woman was first after all. But I was…
