9th November
Less than a week to go to the launch of Strand of Faith and I'm getting really excited. I hope you are, too.
The proof copy of the paperback arrived a few days ago and just holding it in my hands made everything seem very real. You can pre-order the ebook on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Strand-Faith... and other ebook retailers http://www.books2read.com/strandoffaith. The paperback will be available on Amazon soon, but you can also order it directly from the company (Blurb) that's printing it at http://www.blurb.co.uk/b/9042831-stra.... It looks absolutely gorgeous. Or go into your local bookshop or library and ask them to get hold of it for you!
The launch blog tour starts on 15th November, organised by the amazing Rachel's Random Resources and you can see the details on my Extras page http://www.racheljbonner.co.uk/extras.... The tour also includes extracts, guest blogs from me, and Q and A sessions, so do join us on it. Follow me on twitter (@racheljbonner1) to keep up with all that's going on. There'll be a giveaway too, including a signed copy of the paperback, bookmarks and a canvas print of the original cover art.
We've been very busy since my last blog as we've had eight days on a group tour in Italy. That was an amazing experience, visiting Rome, Assisi, Perugia, Florence and Pisa. I did my first book reading in Assisi, to members of our group. I was pretty nervous but they loved the description and extracts and several have pre-ordered copies.
As soon as Strand of Faith is launched I'll be working on the rewrite of book two in the series, Thread of Hope, due out on 2nd May 2019. Sign up for my newsletter at http://www.racheljbonner.co.uk/newsle... to keep up to date with all that is going on.
Thank you for reading.

22nd October
Just over three weeks until the publication of Strand of Faith and I'm trying to think what I've forgotten to do. The blog tour (starts 15th November for eight days) is all in place and the Kindle and other e-Reader versions are complete and uploaded ready for pre-order. The paperback proof will be with me by the end of the week. I can't wait to hold the actual book in my hands.
You can pre-order at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Strand-Faith... and at https://www.books2read.com/b/strandof... .
One review on Strand of Faith called the book magical, full of adventure with enjoyable characters, a must read for the genre which worked out wonderfully with depth and an all around unique synopsis. That made me very happy indeed!
And despite the fact that Strand of Faith isn't even published yet, I'm working on Thread of Hope, book 2 in the series. It will be released on 2nd May 2019, and needs to be with my editor by the beginning of December. Ollie, my cover artist, is already working on the cover for it, which I hope to reveal around the end of February next year.
Just to keep me busy, I also have a new contract in my day job - I'm a financial modeller and business planning consultant - which will take me into next year too.
I've been taking part in some of the #hashtag writer games on Twitter, including #sensationalWIP, #WriterlyWIPChat, #authorconfession and #TheMerryWriter. Each day there's a question about your work or writing habits which you can answer. I don't play every day, but if you follow me on Twitter you'll get insights into some of the characters and the world of Strand of Faith.
And if you subscribe to my newsletter at http://www.racheljbonner.co.uk/newsle... you’ll get early notification of sneak peeks and other extras. While you’re there subscribing, head over to http://www.racheljbonner.co.uk/prolog... for a quick look at the prologue to whet your appetite.
