Well suddenly it’s all happening.
On Thursday I received the cover artwork for my debut novel, Advice for Strays, from Jonathan Cape/Random House, my UK and Commonwealth publisher. I didn’t even know they’d commissioned any and had no idea what to expect but was bowled over with what I’ve got. I mean, look at it:
Seriously, I love it and it perfectly captures the strange, slightly menacing but humourous atmosphere of the book. It was created by the wonderful Italian illustrator and designer Valerio Vidali.
It’s on my Flickr, where you can see it much larger and in all its glory. You can even leave a comment there, should you be so inclined. Go on. You know you want to.
At the same time, I discovered that the book is already available for pre-order on Amazon. I know, right!
You can read more about the novel on the Conville & Walsh website.
And, yes, if you want to pre-order (!) you can, at Amazon.

well done!
i shall buy this book on the literary merits of your body of work on twitter.
Thanks!
And my novel also only runs to 140 characters, so it should take you no time at all to read.
