The publishing of book 2 in The Kingdom of Gems trilogy, The Silver Well, is getting closer.

It has taken longer than I thought at first but I’m sure that you will find that when you do have it in your hands the wait will have been worthwhile. I have been working very hard on it and enjoying every minute.

The story for the whole trilogy was completed some time ago, but I wanted to add some new ideas and characters. I have done this and it just needs a little more work to have it ready to go.

I have just begun illustrations. There will more maps, Wizard Elzaphan’s coat of arms and over thirty illustrations. I will keep you up to date with the progress.

It’s all very exciting and I can’t wait to get the new book out there!

    It is great to hear that you are keen to read The Silver Well. I am very keen to get it into print, especially as it is all ready!

    I am still waiting for the publishing side of things to be sorted out. It is very important that I get a good publisher to take on the trilogy and this is the job my New York agent is doing at the moment.

    So, I do not have a date yet, but will keep you informed on this blog.
