It’s officially BARKING’s launch month! I’m so excited to get the beautiful @averyhillpublishing edition into the world. To mark this milestone here is the very 1st spread I designed when creating the book & finally (after a long process) knew I’d found the style I had been seeking.

I've decided that I'm going to keep a stack of notebooks under my table at book signings.
The next person who says "I could write a book", I'm going to throw one at them and scream "WRITE IT THEN".
I could be more helpful but that's not my vibe 🤣

I'm grateful that I'm not the protagonist.
I've begrudgingly accepted that I'm not the antagonist.
But I'll be damned if anyone will take away my role as the antagonist's minor inconvenience in an early chapter.
I'm gonna go nick some jumped up little Chosen One's Jaffa Cakes.

I just want to be a Jack-o'-lantern headed cryptid that dances in the night as a warning to unwary travellers.
What's the career trajectory for that?
