New cover design
Well, I have to say I am THRILLED about this. I was very happy with the cover we launched with last year, but this new cover is just gorgeous. The publishers have obviously done a bit of focus-grouping/opinion polling and decided The Seventh Season would benefit from being slightly rebranded, and I just love everything … Continue reading

The temple of Hera

But what with careers and kids, I have probably only ever met Amy four times, but because I know her family and … Continue reading
