Gower Ghosts

Writing for my guidebook on Gower ghost stories has now been completed. As has the book cover design :)

Daughter of Darkness

I have been wanting to reread one of my favourite books for while now. Unfortunately, when I opened my old paperback copy of the novel I realised immediately that it would not survive the task. So now I am now the proud owner of the UK 1st edition hardcover copy of the book. I managed to snag a copy from Abebooks and paid only a few pennies over a fiver for the book. I must admit though, that I do find the American paperback edition has the better cover art:

A Portrait of a Gower Pony

 

Old Gower Ghost Stories: T -30

 

Old Gower Ghost Stories: T - 31 Days

With just 40 days work remaining, I still seem to have one hell of a lot of work to do!

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...

 

Morning Glory (Heavenly Blue)

Look what greeted me on a grim and gloomy morning today :)
