Improved eBook of my alternate history novel 'Peterkin and the First Dog' (YA and upwards), average 4.9 stars on 14 Amazon ratings, finally out on 17 March - replacing the user-unfriendly and speedily withdrawn original. 99p deal for the first 30 days, open for preorder shortly ...

An orphan boy befriends a wolf in a sheep-farming peasant world.
The dramatic consequences include a non-fantasy portal to an alien land, captivity at the hands of a ruthless baron, interplay between a holy crone and a demonic bandit. All travel down a great river, which hosts a violent denouement.

Another weekend another craft fair - sold five copies of speculative/alt history novel 'Peterkin and the First Dog', one short of the record and boosting total sales to 85. Slow work but more productive than open mics, my other folly. Find me a booktok influencer with 100,000 followers please.
