Amber Rose is out there.

Hi all

Amber Rose is launched. I'm doing a little happy dance.

Next week, I'm off to NZ for about 12 days. I'll be at the Ages of Pages signing event in Hamilton on the 26th. Meanwhile I have a cake to bake for a birthday dinner tomorrow. Then there's packing to do and tidying up for visitors.

In recent days, most of my focus is on organising my 65th birthday bash. It is my first time organising such a thing, with a venue, catering and such. It's sort of like a wedding without the groom. However, I want to great 65 years with a blast. And I won't be doing anything near this flash again.

This is my new launch day hair!

And here is a print copy in hand.

Here is the blurb for Amber Rose

A book of manners, magic and mayhem…and, perhaps, a tad too many scones

All Ambrose Fulton wants is to enjoy his idyllic life at Hatfield, helping his wife Milly raise their little son, tolerating Aunt Prudence and entertaining their friends.

What he gets is a ferocious assault from a violet-eyed automaton that devastates the estate and makes off with his enchanted clockwork arm, brutally ripped from his shoulder. To the rescue, barely in time to save his life, come friends Edward Huntington, gentleman magician, and his wife, the monster-slayer Jemima.

Whoever sent the machine can only have wanted one thing: to glean the secrets of Huntington’s magical mechanical designs for purposes clearly nefarious. Now as well as wrangling an anxious innkeeper, a fake heir, interfering magistrates, odd magicians and some thoroughly unexpected visitors, they must uncover their mysterious enemy’s identity and stop them or who knows what evil ends Huntington’s inventions will be put to?

The fantastic cover is by Frauke at Croco Designs.
