Delighted to announce The Lost Folk is coming in paperback on 23rd April published by @faberbooks
The cover has had a little switch up for this new era in its life and I just love it. Iām so excited for it to hit the shelves. Paperbacks are miles more affordable than hardbacks and I see this as the books true form - available to all. Folk for everyone! Please also remember you can request your library to buy in a copy.
People said very nice things about it, which honestly make my heart soar each time I read them. ā¤ļøš thank you to everyone who has picked up a copy and sent me lovely feedback!
Thanks to @tabby.booth.artist for bringing such magic to the bookās cover and chapter headings with her exceptional illustrations.
And of course to @hanaiskno for expertly guiding the process, @faberbooks for publishing it and my magnificent agent @lewinsohnliterary
I Dreamed Anotherās Dream is on @field.system until May 23rd
I have dreamed many dreams and within them many otherās dreams, out of these have come stories which I work to interrupt in words and images. My work for āI dreamed anotherās dreamā focuses on one particular dream sequence which includes three entities that have walked into my dreamscape: the fish woman, Hector Nit and stone head. These characters wander through ancient landscapes immersing themselves in the land and all that comes with it. Sea. Field. Woodland. River. Earth. They interact with one another but only in passing ways, they speak different languages, and conkers are their only form of commonality. It sounds strange but that is what dreams are for me; strange, mystical places were odd things make perfect sense and mundane things make no sense at all.
Includes new works from @matthew___shaw@penny_macbeth and me!
