The Princess and the Fog release date

I am pleased to announce that The Princess And The Fog, my children's book about depression, will be released in June 2015 in the UK and the US, and July 2015 in Australia and Canada to Jessica Kingsley Publishing. More dates may be to follow as they have distribution offices in other countries as well. This will be a very important book to a lot of young people in a very difficult situation and their parents who may need a bit of help, as this will be one of the first books written specifically for children who are living with depression ever published. There will be a special guide for parents in there written by child psychologists Dr Melinda Nettleton and Dr Linda Bayliss, on how best to support a depressed child and to use the story in the best possible way.

Obviously I am WICKED-STOKED ABOUT THIS.

Most of the illustrations you have seen so far on this blog are in the book, but some have since been redone or updated or removed as some revisions to the story have taken place in the last couple of months but I assure you the book will be just as beautiful and awesome as it has ever been.

I'll post more dev pics soon. Spread the word!
