When its author first sees how a forthcoming book will look, there’s a frisson of pleasure.
So I’m very happy to share this preview of the cover of my soon-to-be-released fourth novel, A Thousand Tongues.
The design by Steve Barwick captures the story’s mood well, incorporating a landscape scene that figures importantly in the action. The row of stones, stark, uncanny, tongue-like, has stood in this part of Dartmoor since prehistoric times.
The title? It alludes to a speech by one of Shakespeare’s characters, quoted in an epigraph to the text.
More on this before long, as the release date draws nearer.
Intriguing! Congratulations, Ian 🙂
Thank you, Amanda. You know what this kind of anticipation feels like.
Is it coincident that the rock is tongue-shaped?
Good luck with it Ian.
Cheers, Glenn
Look forward to reading your book when it’s released Ian… The cover made me think about the big stones in ‘a road less traveled’. Gina
Not a coincidence, Glenn – at least in my perception; I don’t know what the prehistoric architects thought about it.
Thanks, Gina. Stones and roads both figure significantly in the story. Best wishes.
