Happy release day to @valinoratroy.bsky.social and ‘Lianna and the Hombit’. A wonderful middle grade fantasy with a magical bird - and lots of illustrations by me! 😁 📢📚 #Booksky

Cover image by Laura Tolton. Showed a young girl with dark skin and hair in a white dress and green cape standing on a moonlight shore. Menacing sea stacks loom in the background. Around the girls neck hangs a glowing Ruby ring. Perched on her right hand is a beautiful bird that looks made out of glass. Lianna and the Hombit by Valinora Troy.”A rich compelling mystery… full of heart.” Cover quote from H.S Norup.

The Moonstone is one of my favourite books. When I was a child I saw a b&w movie of The Woman in White (with Sidney Greenstreet) that absolutely terrified me! Not sure why now...😀

I love your mood board! I'm working on a MG dark fantasy!😀

Valinora Troy *Middle Grade Fantasy Author* @valinoratroy.bsky.social · 16/12/2023

I will persevere for quite a while on the tiniest hope of something... but I don't how many readers do, especially younger ones, so I would say yes!

Looks great (and the story has lots of elements I love!)! Hope the right editor comes looking for it soon!🙂
