Dear Readers,

Sealed parchment scroll with the words Shopping List on it on a vintage wooden desk.

What a journey! A long one for the book, of Amanda Cadabra and The Twilight Toxin, the 9th standalone British humorous urban fantasy mystery. A short but highly significant one for the cover.

The Beginning

Tim, cover-illustrator and best-selling author, TJ Brown, was ahead of the game, asking for the synopsis of Amanda Cadabra and The Twilight Toxin even before I had finished my usual editing passes! As soon as Tim announced a window in his busy schedule, I sent it over and awaited The Shopping List.

The Mysterious List

No trip to the market was involved, for this was a list of images, selected ones of which would contribute to the banquet of the cover.

Now, I could tell you more, but today, those would just be spoilers. Today, what I CAN share is a glimpse at the cover, and see what you can glean from this!

Here It Is …

Book wrapped in gold gift wrap with pale green ribbon on a vintage wooden desk with a cup of black coffee on the lower right. Near the bottom of the book the wrapping is burnt away reveal the silhouete of a cat on a lime green lit parh with wild grass growing either side in deep teal and blue. The light is dim with deep shadows. The silhouette of a woman's legs can just be seen further up the path and another pair of feet a little further.

Launch Date and Free Book

As promised in the title of this Letter, here is the release date for Amanda Cadabra and The Twilight Toxin: Sunday, 3rd May. On that date also there will be a book in the series that will be free to download. It is planned to be on offer on Amazon, Kobo, Apple Books, Google Play, Barnes & Noble and others. For how long? Just 72 hours.

Back in a couple of days with the full cover reveal and the full story, that is, with only a couple of mystery bits to come in the approaching weeks and months.

See you soon.

Happy deducing!

Holly
