THE MINOTAUR'S SON

"I cannot gush about this one enough."

"I laughed so loud that my dog growled at me!"

"It has the charm and naughty rhythm of Saki and Cheever."

Bookmark auction for charity!

Hello, peeps!

I have been asked to contribute to a charity auction that showcases unique bookmarks created by authors, illustrators, actors and celebrities.

Money raised goes to the Katiyo Sacred Heart Primary School in rural Zimbabwe.
https://1stburleybrownies.wordpress.c...

The auction doesn't take place until next May and is only open to UK bidders (I shall prepare another post nearer the time).

In the meantime, here is my hand-drawn effort contribution... : )

IN THE SHADOW OF TIME

(A La Sombra del Tiempo)

>>> https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... <<<




.
“I was in Mexico City for three months, and yet returned to England on the same day that I left…”

Through her time-travel research, physicist Dr Sofia Ustinova has attracted the interest of higher beings from a distant galaxy…

Luna, a porcelain-skinned teenager, lives alone in a Danish forest where she guards an astonishing secret…
Pablo, an optimistic shoeshine boy, struggles to earn a living on the sweltering streets of Mexico City…

Meanwhile, Hugo Wilde, a British secret agent, embarks on a mission to kill a Russian assassin, unaware that his life is about to change in ways he could never have imagined…

‘Few authors possess Ansbro’s vivid imagination and lust for language. Few authors create worlds in which we can truly immerse ourselves. This is magical realism at its best.’
—Karen Holmes
