The full cover of #TheAmbergrisTrail in all its majesty! Many thanks to #Norfolk artist Gavin Gould for his hard work. I asked him to capture the feeling of a #mentalbreakdown whilst living on the coast, and I think he absolutely smashed it. #illustrator #author #selfpublished #mentalhealth #book

A full cover image of The Ambergris Trail. The background is a dark blue sky. There is a pink-coloured beach at low tide on the bottom half of the cover. On the right-hand side of the cover are the iconic West Norfolk chalk and carrstone cliffs. There is a drawing of a blue-coloured sperm whale that vomits yellow liquid from its mouth on the centre of the cover. Below it, a blue wave crests. The title "The Ambergris Trail" is written in yellow at the top, and the author name "Dax Cornwell" is written in yellow at the bottom. The cover is illustrated by local Norfolk artist Gavin Gould.

I am so excited to have physical copies of my debut novel, The Ambergris Trail. I am very grateful to my illustrator Gav for designing such an evocative cover. I believe it really captures the feeling of an #existentialcrisis! #mentalhealth #selfpublished #theambergristrail #localauthor #localartist

5 copies of the novel The Ambergris Trail, displayed in a spiral staircase pattern. The cover is a dark blue sky and pink beach. A drawing of a whale vomits yellow liquid from its mouth. A wave crests below it. The texts reads "The Ambergris Trail" in yellow at the tip, and "Dax Cornwell" is written in yellow at the bottom.

What's The Ambergris Trail about, you ask? It's about a man having a mental breakdown in a caravan on the Norfolk coast. Partially based on true experiences. You'll have to deduce which parts are true... 🐋🌊📘
