Wooohoooo!
From today, if you order the ebook of The Book of Snow & Silence it will arrive instantly on your Kindle, laptop, tablet or other device, AND you can order the absolutely GORGEOUS paperback version of the book too. Look at this, guys, just look:
I've had some really amazing covers - as well as some duds, I'll be honest - over the years, but I think this one is my favourite since the original cover of my very first book, The Swan Kingdom, back in 2007. It's just so damn pretty. These sorts of deep, jewel-toned bluey-greens are actually my favourite colours in the world, and I could honestly sit and stare at them, and all the lovely details in this artwork, for hours at a time. So pretty, my precccciousssss... *Strokes cover gently*
If feeling this way about cover art is wrong, baby, I don't wanna be right.
Ahem. Where were we? Oh, right. To celebrate the release of my TENTH NOVEL FOR YOUNG ADULTS (omg omg, breathe, Zolah) I've got some lovely treats in store for readers.
First, to encourage everyone who possibly can to review the book - because reviews are life, Dear Readers - I'll be doing a special giveaway when The Book of Snow & Silence reaches ten reviews on Amazon. The reviews don't have to be long, or extensive, and they should be completely honest, don't worry! Once we get to ten, I'll pick one lucky winner from the entrants to recieve:
- One proof paperback copy of The Book of Snow & Silence, signed and personalised
- One paperback copy of my last book The Hand, the Eye & the Heart, signed and personalised
- Two signed and personalised bookplates
- The Book of Snow & Silence full-colour postcard
- The Hand, the Eye & the Heart full-colour postcard
- Other assorted swag
If you would like to be entered into this giveaway, you don't have to do anything fancy - literally just tell me in the comments below. THAT'S IT. Just leave me a comment. When we reach ten reviews, I'll use a random number generator to pick a winner. Of course, sharing this giveaway on Facebook, Twitter or other social media will speed things up - because hopefully that will encourage people to read and review the book - as would posting a review of your own on Amazon, but all you *have* to do is leave a comment below this post.
Secondly... I made another book for you?
I made this one all myself! Do you like the cover? It's pretty good, right? I honestly impressed myself with this - I wasn't sure I could figure out how to get it all done, but I really wanted to offer readers something special for release day. This is ebook only - it's novella length - BUT it will be FREE for you to download for the next five days. Unfortunately Amazon won't let me make it permanently free. After that it will only be 99p, though.
SEA FOAM has an exclusive prequel story for The Book of Snow & Silence. It also has poetry, deleted scenes, and fragments from my writer's notebooks, some of it related to published works, some from things that never saw the light of day at all. There's an epilogue to Shadows on the Moon, scenes that I wished I had included in The Name of the Blade Trilogy, and the start of a Twilight spoof that I was never able to take further. Hopefully you'll enjoy it and find it interesting, so if you want it FREE, then get over there and download it ASAP.
To sum up: if you want to enter the giveaway, comment below (and cross your fingers that we get to ten reviews fast). If you want a free novella-length book which includes a Snow & Silence prequel short story, get over to Amazon now.
Have a lovely Book Birthday, muffins!

Ah this is all so exciting!!
Lotty: I agree! :)
Hooray, thank you! I have posted a review and (after some fiddling) acquired a new short book! My review will show under the name 'A Helpful Stranger' when it posts up. Thanks Zoe!
Thank you, B&J (Personally, I think the 'B' stands for 'Batman' at this point, you mysterious lady, you)!
I can’t wait to read this 💜
Thank you, Zoe! I really hope you enjoy it :)

If it did, would I tell you? :D
This is so exciting!! I love seeing behind the scenes!
Me too, Alex :)
Congratulations on your release. A feminist fantasy inspired by The Little Mermaid. Yes please.
Well, that's what I thought, Sophilozophy!
My review on US Amazon was published yesterday! Just wanted to say congrats here for the amazing book. It's my favourite from you alongside Shadows on the Moon and Barefoot on the Wind for sure, *and* it got me out of a reading slump. (Seriously, I'm 20+ books behind my yearly goal progression but since I finished yours within two days, I've been tearing through other books as well.)
Oh, lovely Eafiu - thank you so much. I really appreciate it! It's actually my own favourite of my books since Shadows, too - my favourite to write, and one that feels as if I accomplished what I set out to do the way I wanted to - so I'm really glad that you, a very discerning reader, agree :) x
