My dog went crazy when the delivery van pulled up ouside our home. The delivery man walked up the path, eyeing our loving but excitable little dog warily. He handed me a box - a big box. Guess what was inside......YES!They've arrived. Crisp and fresh from the printers, the actual paperback copies of Starquest! It's impossible to express how I felt holding the actual BOOK in my hands! My very first novel, in print! Yes I was absolutely thrilled to get the print copies of the Muse series, and they're wonderful, but this is just me, mine, my novel! It was fantastic being e-published, but there's something so special about holding your first solo book - the actual feel of it, the glossy cover, the beautiful starry background that's on the back cover as well...amazing!
I have to admit I hadn't expected them to arrive so quickly. The offiicial print date isn't until the 5th December - but I'm taking advance email orders at Hywelalyn@hywelalyn.co.uk and I'm throwing in a matching bookmark - and for the first five - a special Starquest pen. I only had a few made, so they're kind of a collectable item! :)
Just wanted to share. I'm busy with edits for the sequel at the moment, but I wanted to take a little time out and post my news because time goes so quickly. I feel like a 'proper' auithor now!
I now find that they're also available on Amazon now -
