Exciting release of book trailer on YouTube!

I have just heard that The Stumpwork Robe is available in the new espresso book machine format.  For those wishing to purchase that way.  Please see 'Where to purchase.' 

Both books are now 'out there' now and readers have been enthusiastic and supportive and have become entrenched in the world of Eirie.  I'm enjoying talking with them all, right across the globe.  Especially the miniature book artists from the USA who appear to have taken my books to their hearts and are creating a superb collection of Eirie-based miniatures (books, maps, globes in magnificent minikin boxes) and which will be for sale through www.bopressminiaturebooks.com

Amazon now has a 'Look Inside' facility for both books.

A five star review had been placed on Borders.UK but sadly the retailers are now in receivership.  However the reviewer has placed his critique on his website, http://www.sjaturney.co.uk  Go to Blog, then to Prue Batten where Mr.Turney has kindly included his words.

For those interested, an article on my POD experience has been published in WRITAS, the Tasmanian writers’ journal, and also in the South Australian journal and in the April edition of Australian Author.

Two of the four books comprising The Eirie Chronicles have now beenpublished.  The third is called The Millefiore Paperweights and is a stand-alone novel but relates to characters that readers may have met before.  It is currently under assessment with Cornerstones Literary Consultancy UK.  The fourth and concluding book of The Eirie Chronicles is entitled The Shifu Cloth and is currently well underway.
