Gower Ghosts.2

Well, what a cracking start to Spring! Day 1 and I have only gone and completed the update of the Explore Gower book - Gower Ghosts!

Gower Ghosts

 I am still edidting Gower Ghosts at every opportunity I get.

Still working on the second edition of my Gower Ghosts.

Breathing Space

What the hell am I doing? Ineed to take a chill pill. Despite wanting to drastically reduce my workload, I have been ploughing through my year's schedule as through my year's schedule as though the devil himself was chasing me. Having already republished an updated issue of Avalon, plus my latest novel, Familar, this year, I seem to have scedules several more titles to be updated in the last couple of months left to February.

Having spent ridiculous hours over many evenings pouring over the edits and typesetting of the Guy N Smith fanzine update, I have decided to ease my foot off the accelerator a little now. As such, I can only now guarantee that the GNS zine will see a reissue by the close of February. The reissue of Explore Gower's Verry Volk and Gower Ghosts could therefor be delayed, with their republication dates now pushed back to sometime in March? Allowing me some breathing space 🙂

The above said, what did I do within minutes of finishing work this afternoon? Edit Gower Ghosts lol.

Gower Ghosts Published!

I am very happy to announce that my new guidebook Gower Ghosts is published today. 

There is more to explore on the Gower Peninsula than its outstanding natural beauty.

This is my second in my series of Gower guide books, the first being my most popular book to date - The Verry Volk - the Faery Folklore of the Gower Peninsula.

There will be a third, as yet untitled, book in these series of Gower guidebooks - look out for that sometime in 2023 (fingers crossed)...

On I plough...

Sometimes navigating a pen across a piece of paper feels like dragging an anchor through a rainforest. But, with just 94 days left to put this beast to bed, on I plough...
