Coming soon!

Just been doing the final checks of the manuscript before sending it off to the printer. The next stage will be to get a proof PDF and to go through that again. If that's OK, then go through a paper proof and approve it. And then it's all systems go for the release on December 1. Ebook is also under way. Here's what the paperback will contain:

This is from my FB page about my forthcoming book, On the Other Side of the Sky. I intend to give a little bit of background to the book – clearly in the hope that you will buy a copy when it comes out on December 1.

There's another piece of art in the cover of the book. It's the troll-like creature squatting malevolently in the sky, facing "Jane" (Jane Machin is the major protagonist in this story). Maybe this thing doesn't look familiar to you, but that's because he's out of context.
His original (I'm assuming it's a "he") is to be found in a version of "The Nightmare" – one of Henry Fuseli's most famous works. Henry Fuseli was born in Switzerland, and came to England, where he pursued a successful career as a painter of Shakespearean scenes and supernatural subjects.
The Nightmare has a psycho-sexual horror element to it, and therefore appealed greatly to the new "sensibility" of the Rousseau-ian age. Think of "Monk" Lewis, The Castle of Otranto, and all of Mrs Radcliffe's Gothic tales. I lifted this creature out of the painting, and modified him a little.
Fuseli appears (twice) in the book as an off-stage character, and the painting itself gets a mention. Zürich (Fuseli's town of origin) is also the setting for several scenes in the book.
