Clovenhoof - Heide and Iain's writing newsletter

Published: Thu, 02/18/16

Hi

Heide and Iain’s writing newsletter - February 2016

Here's an update on all that we've been doing with Clovenhoof Books and other projects.
The next Clovenhoof book, Beelzebelle is now available for pre-order. Details below.


Gears of Madness

You’ll remember Iain’s steampunk book?

Hang on, what’s steampunk? Oh, well steampunk is science fiction set in the golden age of steam. Imagine what it would have been like if Victorian inventiveness had carried British explorers into space. Imagine Sherlock Holmes meets Star Trek and you’ll be wrong, but not far wrong.

Anyway, Iain’s collected steampunk adventures are now available for FREE on kindle!
You’ll need to be quick, but do have a look at the Gears of Madness.

Goody and Grant LiveWrite

The new comedy novel DID get written during the month of November.
It was all part of the Nanowrimo challenge.
Every single part of it is being made available here, for those who like to read along:

If you don’t want to read it online, we’ll let you know soon when it will be published.

NEW RELEASES

The new Clovenhoof book is...
Beelzebelle

Here’s what the book’s about:

To the devil a daughter!

Parenthood can come as a shock to some. It’s especially shocking if you are Satan, the Prince of Hell, and are trying to living a quiet life of semi-retirement in suburban England under the name of Jeremy Clovenhoof.

Clovenhoof quickly finds that being a single parent involves more than lullabies and nappies and has to contend with social disapproval, paternity tests and, possibly, the end of the world.

The fifth novel in the Clovenhoof series, Beelzebelle is an anarchic adventure, featuring a psychotic monkey au pair, runaway coffins,
badly stuffed animals,
strip dominoes,
fire-breathing ferrets,
pimped-up prams,
well-meaning middle-class mums,
apocalyptic floods,
the largest act of public nudity Birmingham has ever seen and way too much homebrew Lambrini.

That's all for now, many thanks for reading
