Breaking cover

Shhh, I am not really here. I am working very hard. I promise. But I had to post about this super review for The Treachery of Beautiful Things which I came across this morning from Beauty, Books & Ramblings.

In the editing cave

I’ve been very quiet of late which is usually ominous.

Bookplates

One of the niggly things about being in Ireland is that I can’t magically sign books far away. But now I have some lovely little bookplate stickers for The Treachery of Beautiful Things, so I sort of can. There are three designs. Aren’t they pretty? (They are bigger than this.
