It might just be me…but doesn’t my book cover just scream ‘Fall’?

Blessed be the farm this morning.

Dawn comes later this time of the year and the weathered board building is barely visible as another fine October day begins. May your path be blessed by calm today dear friends.

COVER REAVEAL

MEET VAMPURR
Her fur shines blacker than a raven’s feathers.
Her eyes glow greener than a witch’s brew.
But most unusual of all are her long, needle-sharp fangs.
This is her story...

In bookstores on 7/6/26
Written by me, illustrated by the incredible
@lennywendraws.bsky.social

The cover of an upcoming picture book, VAMPURR.
The title apperas over a full, flourescent green/yellow full moon in the top center of the square book image. Beneath it is a vampire kitten. She has long pointy, pinkish ears, green eyes, black fur, and long fangs. She wears a purple cape. She is surrounded by ethereal fog that moves through a cemetery filled with tombstones all around her. In back of her is a cemetery entrance gate with a Latino boy entering the cemetery through it. Purple, twisting trees border the entire image. It's purples, blues, pinks, and greens/yellows.

A year ago.
I was in loads of exhibitions last year.
This year's been a weird one so I've not been in any but sold more work.
I go with the flow.

Made my first tiered cake for a 70th birthday celebration for a friend who’s the choir director at our church. This monster must weigh 25 pounds in chocolate, butter, and sugar!

It'll soon be time to start making your sticky parkin (an essential treat on Guy Fawkes Night), which improves with keeping. I've got a recipe for sticky fig and pear parkin.

Culture: Parkin the memories by Nicola Miller

It may have its origins in Yorkshire but for our food writer Nicola Miller, parkin brings back memories of festival time in Mexico
