Bouncing into the week like… Hope you’re all staying safe in the storm. We recommend staying inside with a good book (ideally ones of ours, obvs). Unless you’re a maniac like Moonflower HQ’s mascot, Busby. 🐾 ❄️
Wishing all of our wonderful readers the happiest of holidays! We'll be spending Christmas devouring our new reads... how about you? Did you unwrap any new books this year? What's your favourite?
Look out, a storm is coming... We're so happy to reveal the incredible cover for Greg Mosse's thrilling second instalment in his critically-acclaimed cli-fi cult classic series. THE COMING STORM picks up where THE COMING DARKNESS left off with even more twists, turns and thrills along the way. Pre-order now: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Coming-Storm-Darkness/dp/1916678009
We are delighted to reveal the cover for the debut novel from ultimate 60s It Girl, #PenelopeTree. It features a previously unseen photo of Penelope herself, taken by none other than the magnificent David Bailey.
Piece Of My Heart follows Ari, a girl who is trapped between the suffocation of English boarding school and a chaotic homelife dominated by her eccentric mother. She longs for a different kind of life – one lived in the glamour of London, with the pop stars and fashion icons she adores. It seems impossible until she is discovered by Bill Ramsey – the notorious bad boy photographer of the Swinging Sixties set.
Suddenly, Ari’s life is transformed into a dizzying whirlwind of drugs, photoshoots, and parties, all with the famous Ramsey by her side. The young couple are the darlings of the media. But in the fickle world of fashion, nothing lasts forever – and Ari’s addiction, her eating disorder and her increasingly dysfunctional relationship with Ramsey send her life spinning out of control.
A Vogue cover shoot in Nepal offers Ari a make-or-break chance – not just to revive her ailing career, but to win back Ramsey’s love, the only thing that matters to her. But in the captivating surroundings, Ari finds herself wondering how much more of herself she must lose to keep the things she always thought she wanted.
An honest and strikingly moving exploration of what we will sacrifice for love, amid a richly-detailed setting of London’s fashion scene in the 1960s, Piece Of My Heart is a coming-of-age story with a difference and we know you're going to love it.
We had THE BEST TIME at The Bookseller's #BritishBookAwards. Look how glam it was! We may not have triumphed this year but it was such an honour to be nominated and has made us even more determined to come back next year... #Nibbies

Good morning from our resident MoonflowerHQ weather expert, #BusbyThePuggle 🐾. His verdict? Cold, wet, and DELIGHTFUL. Happy snow day! ❄️
Remember how we said that the gradient spredges special edition of Greg Mosse's #TheComingDarkness was sold out? Over the weekend we spotted this one in the wild (looking utterly GORGEOUS, it has to be said) so there still are some out there if you look hard enough... Good luck!
The ever-erudite (yes, we're pretty impressed with ourselves for using that word, too) Greg Mosse appeared on BBC Radio 4's Front Row to talk climate fiction and #TheComingDarkness – you can listen back here or on your podcast player of choice: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001f53f
On this day three years ago our lovely founders came up with a plan to create a different kind of publishing house – one that went for the slightly different books, the quirky ones that don't quite neatly fit into a genre, that make you sit up and go "huh, I've never read anything like that before". And so Moonflower Books was born: a place where we embrace the individual, and put our wonderful authors at the centre of everything. It's not our official birthday, but we kind of count it as one anyway. So here's to our fabulous authors, the amazing organisations that support us, and to our hard-working, dedicated team: we are small but mighty! Thanks for coming along with us for the ride. 🎂🎉
IT'S FINALLY HERE. Yes, #TheComingDarkness by Greg Mosse is OUT NOW. Available to buy in special limited edition with these amazing graduated spredges, it's the thrilling story of French special agent Alexandre Lamarque who identifies an ominous sequence of events: a theft from a Norwegian genetics lab; a string of gory child murders; a chaotic coup in a breakaway North African republic and the extraction under fire of its charismatic leader – and uncovers signs of a new terror group, operating at the highest levels. Can he uncover the truth in time? Buy now to find out: https://www.moonflowerbooks.co.uk/the-coming-darkness
