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.

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.
