The sequel to my first children’s fantasy book is with my publisher (Troubador) and the process is underway. The final text file has been formatted, typeset, with illustrations added which were created by an artist Troubador sourced for me. I feel that a few good illustrations add a little something extra to the book. Now that’s done, proofreading has begun, a dull but essential part of the process.
I now have the front face of the cover (but the whole cover will be influenced by the themes and look of this front). The whole cover can only be completed when proofreading is complete as final page count must be ascertained before cover size is known. Here’s a preview of the cover.
I’ll relate the progress of the book’s production, with updates here and extra detail in my https://mytalesforkids.uk/things-to-come/ page.
My first kids’ fantasy novel (see below) is still available. The eBook is now £1.99 – a bargain: https://tinyurl.com/ywjar4vc

As well as promoting my books, this site will have articles/reviews on children’s stories, authors and notes on writing from time to time. I’ll also keep live the sections on the the book’s production which may be of interest to anyone thinking of writing their own stories.
