Apollo Quartet 2

[iansales]

I've just released the cover art to the second book of the Apollo Quartet, The Eye With Which The Universe Beholds Itself. Publication of the book is expected in about a month or so.

See here for the cover.

Looks like a nice cover.

Is the first book available in paperback at all? Simply that I can only find it as Kindle edition on Amazon.

It's better to buy the books from my online shop - I get more money then

Strange - I thought you had a traditional publisher, not self-published?? Simply that I thought I saw you on John Jarrold's signed-up list?

 

[Gary Compton]

I think Ian does both as well as being an editor as well.

Sighes - why can't I be as talented

 

[iansales]

Thanks, Gary. That really cheered me up

Brian, yes, I'm one of John Jarrold's clients, but I chose to self-publish the Apollo Quartet for several reasons. For a start, it's a novella, which none of the major imprints will touch.

 

[Gary Compton]

Thanks, Gary. That really cheered me up

Cheers Ian. I've been getting a bollicking from the ball and chain for not tidying up the kitchen after a cheese toasty, so it's nice to know I've put her smile on someone's face.

Leonardo Da Vinci couldn't put one on her indoors face. It would be a masterpiece.

I love her though

I love the cover image Ian - did you produce it yourself?

I love the cover image Ian - did you produce it yourself?

No, it's by my sister, who is looking for commissions

Your sister should have every chance of finding them, Ian: that's a very striking cover.

If anyone's looking for any art, here's her website: http://kaysales.wordpress.com/ I don't know what she plans to charge, but I'm sure it would be reasonable.

I like those Ockham's Razor covers.

Brian, did you buy a copy of Adrift on the Sea of Rains?

 

[Brian G Turner]

Not yet - give me a couple of weeks before my next book buying spree.
