Bristol - such a beautiful city with amazing bookshops. A ‘must-do’ walk for book travellers #booksky #writesky @maxminervas.bsky.social @arnolfiniarts.bsky.social @bookhaus.bsky.social

“Never judge a book by its cover” is such an inapt metaphor. As with the rest of my book writing journey, there are rules. This 6th blog on how we got to the cover for Dark Pools. www.alexanderducharme.com/post/the-cover #writesky #booksky #thriller #debutauthor #newbook #indiewriter #bookstoread

The 5th blog on my book writing journey is by Eric Chevalier, Head of Sales in France. With such slim odds of finding an agent, is it actually worth the effort? His full blog is here www.alexanderducharme.com/post/a-brief... #thriller #debutauthor #newbook #indiewriter #writesky #booksky

The 4th blog on my book writing journey is by Jemima Lawrence discussing our mixed feelings about the structural review of Dark Pools.

The third blog on my book writing journey is by Andrea Bartorelli, Head of Asia Sales, discussing the initial critique of my book by the beta readers. His full blog is here www.alexanderducharme.com/post/first-d...

So looking forward to the Reigate Summer Festival and signing my debut book, Dark Pools, a psychological thriller - Friday 29 June, 17.30-19.00 @Waterstones @ReigateWS #writesky #booksky

The second blog on my book writing journey has Muttu Murali, Sri Lankan chef at Villa Traxler, discussing the background to the title of the book, Dark Pools, and the thinking behind writing under a pseudonym. His full blog is here www.alexanderducharme.com/post/why-dar... #writesky #booksky

Why? How? What? Virtually all my conversations at Book Clubs or Author signings centre around the journey from the genesis of an idea to the publication of the book. The most common question is “What inspired you to write Dark Pools?” #Booksky #WritingBlueSky
