Did I say my new book was being published in October? Yes, I did and I hear you say, it’s October and WHERE’S YOUR NEW BOOK?
Here it is, I tell you! It just came back from the printers. “The book is back from the printers” – some of the sweetest words in the world to an author’s ears!
I received the books and it was a fantastic moment to see all those Septopuses in the box – real, actual books I could touch and feel, and lift out. The Septopus is truly out into the real world everyone!
My book is published under the imprint Owltitude Press which is my new publishing venture and so we’re very busy – it’s not just “now the book’s published, let’s sit back”. It’s even more work from here as we get the books out to those who’ve pre-ordered (thank you to those who are supporting us – and for those who’d like to order mail owltitude@outlook.com – it’s free postage within Australia if you order before the 26 October 2024, and you can order Princess Hayley’s Comet from us too (same deal, free postage before 26 October 2024!). All books will also be signed.
Look at all the books stacked up ready to be shipped out! (That owl is just guarding the packages – we’re Owltitude Press and we keep the owl, thanks!)
Of course, you could also come to the book launch which is on at Book Face St Ives (Berkelouw), 166 Mona Vale Rd St Ives at 11am on Saturday 26 October 2024. There’ll be free refreshments, and a free shark pen for anyone who buys a book.
Stanley the Septopus is feeling particularly joyous today!
