Ulva Buyout

Dylan and the Lights of UlvaWe’re also raising money for the Ulva Buyout Campaign with the book launch.

The attempt to raise enough funding to buy the island of Ulva, Mull, by the community was confirmed after a 64% vote in favour of the project by the community of NW Mull, so it’s full steam ahead to raise enough money and put the final paperwork in order by the deadline which is now in June.

To help this project, which is close to the fictional Castle Haunn, the setting for the Princelings of the North, Jemima has written a novella starring Dylan and Dougall, as a reward for anyone contributing to the fund on her JustGiving page. If you don’t want to go to JustGiving, you can also buy the novella on Smashwords and Jemima will donate at least $4 to the fund.

POTN Launch plans include a JustGiving appeal

The Princelings of the North is on schedule for its launch on 30th January 2018.

You probably know that Dylan and Dougall’s Princelings home is on the Isle of Mull.  I spent many happy holidays there. My drawings of D&D’s castle use pictures of the cliffs and rock formations of the area.  A few miles further south there’s an island, Ulva, accessible by ferry, where I went for walks each year.  I even did some bird surveys – on one special day I saw a peregrine, a buzzard, a golden eagle and a hen harrier in quick succession!

Castle HaunnBut the tiny Ulva community is in trouble.  The island is for sale, and rather than have some rich absentee landlord take control, they have worked with the North West Mull Community Woodland Company to get permission to put in a community buyout for the island.  Now they have until May 2018 to raise the cash.

This is where you come in.  I’m writing a new short story featuring Dylan and Dougall, and everybody who donates on my JustGiving page can claim a free copy, downloadable from Smashwords. It’s called Dylan and the Lights of Ulva.

To learn more about the appeal click the picture to go to my JustGiving page, which is also linked to the charity’s JustGiving page which expands on their objectives and targets.

The new story is now ready.  If you donate on my page, your money will go direct to the Ulva buyout fund (not via me). In return you’ll receive a message with the code to claim your free ebook Dylan and the Lights of Ulva.

I’m also considering bundling this new story with the previous two D&D stories. Dylan’s Yuletide Journey is already available on Smashwords, as well as in the BookElves Anthology Volume 1, while Dougall’s Reindeer Adventure is only available in the BookElves Anthology Volume 2.  I think it would be nice to have the three of them together in one ebook.  Maybe there will be more, who knows?
