I grew up celebrating two Christmases, one on the 25th December then Russian Orthodox Christmas on 7th January.
If you didn't manage to order Upheaval in time for 25th December, you still have time to put your order in for 7th January, through @downingfield.bsky.social

A great last-minute Christmas gift idea!
Do you know someone who is fascinated with Imperial Russia?
Upheaval would be the perfect present for them!

Please NEVER pay a publisher to publish your work. The publisher PAYS you. If they’re asking for money, something is not right.
