Progress on The Wormton Lamb

There's been a hive of activity here recently at Anarchadia Publishing. Over the Christmas and New Year period, I worked up The Wormton Lamb into a state where it can at last be sent to Caroline Petherick (Magic Words), my editor.


And now I've got it back! It seems that having collaborated on The Horsepower Whisperer we know how each other works and the whole process has been reduced, in terms of time, by a factor of at least ten.

Now I have to go through and approve or discard her recommended changes. This is actually very enjoyable work and I'm looking forward to it but first I need to do some more publicity work. Most of this is for The Horsepower Whisperer. This book needs its chance first.

But that's no problem because I can barely contain my excitement about what I've been up to recently! I'm not sure if it can be done but if not I can use the drawings for something else.

Meanwhile the book cover has been developed with Red Snapper (Rebecca Morton). She only lives up the road but e-mails have been whizzing back and forth with my drawings, her layouts, my choice of colours, her much better suggestions and while we were about it a couple of tweaks to The Horsepower Whisperer. That's got to have its chance, too, remember?

I get the feeling we have made the most of the weather.
