1) WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO
Clovenhoof 2
The second Clovenhoof novel is nearly finished. We're calling it "Pigeonwings". We will soon be looking for beta-readers. If you're interested in helping us out with doing this, then let us know. The beta-reading process is to help us shape up the story. We'd like our beta-readers to read this draft and then let us know what works, what doesn't work, which bits are boring or slow...etc. It's definitely not about proof-reading, that will come later.
If beta readers are interested in a group discussion, we're proposing 10th July, in Birmingham. Feedback by any other means is very gratefully received of course!
Ten To One
The ten writers for the Ten To One novel have been selected. They are William Thirsk-Gaskill, Simon Fairbanks, Livia Vioto, Yasmin Ali, Jason Holloway, Luke Beddow, Danni Bentley, Giselle Thompson, Sue Barsby and Maria Mankin. They are going to begin writing the novel in mid-June. The first chapters will be available to read via Facebook and the Ten To One newsletter soon.
You can subscribe to the Ten To One newsletter on our website (www.pigeonparkpress.com)
You can also see the results of Iain's rain-soaked research trip to Skegness the location for our novel at https://www.facebook.com/#!/TenToOneNovel/posts/456490454445643
