Another gold star!

Oh this is too wonderful!

The Autumn Palace (Ondine book #2) scored a gold star at The Book Designer ebook cover awards for January.

That's two gold stars for two covers, in two months!


A gold star is for "covers that were considered for the award or which stood out in some exemplary way: ★"

Judge Joel Friedlander's comments for The Autumn Palace cover were short and to the point: 

"Delightful. Expertly evokes anticipation to get into the story. ★"

Obviously I now MUST enter Ondine book #3, The Winter of Magic and see if I can make it a hat trick.

Three book covers in three months - can my designer earn one more gold star?

Or maybe go one step better and take out the big prize?

Nearly There!

Excellent news.  Good things are about to happen for The Autumn Palace.
I approved the proof copy of the USA/Russia/Japan/China/Moldova/Ukraine edition of The Autumn Palace today, and the the files have already arrived at ibookstore and Gardners. The rest will follow in quick succession.

The Autumn Palace Cover Reveal

It's here!

I thought I was going to die from impatience.

Instead, I can die happy.

Here is the cover for the second Ondine novel, The Autumn Palace.

It will be out in September in all digital formats, in all kinds of happy places like the USA, Russia, China, Japan and Moldova.


And one more thing. See that tornado heading Ondine's way? Have a closer look at the debris.


Those things in the sky are ....

wait, hang on. I want you to tell me what the things are in the sky. (No, not the flying leaves and dust, the OTHER things.)

Best answers will get gift ebooks from me, because I'm so excited I'm giving my book away to celebrate.

Should I have put that at the top?
