Salvete readers!
This week, I’m chuffed to be able to reveal
the new cover for Children of Apollo
– Eagles and Dragons Book I.
I’ve been planning this for a while and
thought that it would be a good time to launch this as it’s just ahead of the
Summer release of Book II in the series, Killing
the Hydra.
Many thanks to book cover designer
extraordinaire, Derek Murphy of Creativindie, who did a brilliant job of creating this
cover and including all the elements I wanted. Inside this second edition, you
will also find a new glossary of Greek and Latin words.
To go along with this cover reveal, I’ve
had my first go at video. Check it out to see when I open the proof package and
get my first look at the cover. I might seem sedate, but inside I’m beaming!
I also go over a few Eagles and Dragons
Publishing updates. If I’m sporting that deer-in-the-headlights look, please
excuse me - I’ve never been one for the camera.
However, there is a first time for everything,
right?
There is a lot coming up this year from
Eagles and Dragons Publishing so you’ll want to sign-up for the mailing list on
the top right of the Writing the Past website. No worries. I don’t throw spam
at people. You will only get notifications of new posts one or two times a week.
For those of you who do sign-up for the
mailing list, there will be a bit of a surprise.
If you sign-up
for e-mail updates before Sunday, June 30th, 2013 you will be
entered in a draw to win one of three signed copies of the second edition of Children of Apollo. The first place
winner will also receive a wooden rudus – that’s a gladius! – so that you can
practice your sword moves at home.
I’ll be daring and do another video when I
pick the winners’ names in July. So, don’t waste time. Sign-up now!
To accompany this launch, and if you missed
them before, here are links to a series of blog posts entitled The World of
Children of Apollo. These are a sort of behind-the-scenes look at the history,
people and places of the novel. I’ll be doing a similar thing with Killing the Hydra toward the end of the
summer.
So, I hope you like the new cover and
contents for Children of Apollo. As
usual, it’s available in paperback and e-book.
If you have read it and liked it, reviews
on any site are welcome and helpful.
Thanks for reading, sharing and commenting.
Oh, and here’s the VIDEO.
Cheers!
