What do you want for Christmas?

With only two months to go till we the end of November, I’m starting to think about Christmas on the blog and website.

Last year I did a series of guest posts from characters talking about the Yuletide celebrations at their castles.  That was on the blog.  On here you had an exclusive three-part story about the Princelings of the North, Dylan and Dougall.

This year I’m thinking of doing just Christmas themed posts through December on the blog.  Haikus, Christmas stories, making the flash fiction wintry enough, that sort of thing.  Here… well, what would you like?  A new story?  Character interviews? Something else?  Maybe a giveaway?

Just let me know in the comments below!

Exciting news – a new paperback!

Traveler - original cover

I’m bringing out a new paperback book in October!  The Traveler in Black and White has been set up for paperback distribution via Createspace, and I’m waiting for the proof copy to arrive from the USA.  Sometimes they can get held up in Customs.  I had a batch of Trilogies go missing last winter; eventually turned up three months later.  I think just one book shouldn’t have a problem though.

It came in at 190 pages, set in a slightly larger typeface than the Trilogy.  I think if I went larger with that it would be both unwieldy and very costly.  Traveler will probably retail at about $8 in the USA and £5 in UK.  Something like that, anyway.

I’ll be working on a paperback of Talent Seekers in due course. I don’t know whether that or the editing of Victor’s story will take priority, since I’m also working on my Dad’s biography.  Watch this space!

A new website

logo

The Princelings books are independently published, and there is now a website for the publisher, mainly for book promotions and the like.  You can find it at PrincelingsPublications.blogspot.com

I was wondering whether this made this website, the Princelings Official website, redundant, but I don’t think so.  Not for the foreseeable future, at any rate.  This is specifically about the Princelings series, and includes background and extra information. It aims to give Princelings fans a special place with inside information.

The Princelings Publications website aims to focus on all Jemima Pett’s books, not just the Princelings series.  Some promotions on Jemima’s blog and here may be duplicated on the Publishing website, to help promote the books.  It also links back to here and Jemima’s blog, showing the latest posts in a sidebar.

The publisher site is brand new and will be growing rapidly over the next few weeks.  But if you’re a regular here, or on Jemima’s blog, you won’t miss anything!
