The amazing and beautiful cover for The Way of the Island is here!
Ahhh! Watch as I swoon in the corner over how PRETTY it is. When I saw it, I was just bowled over. Huge thanks to Andy, my long-suffering husband, for just capturing the characters so perfectly. My favourite is Alice (top left), and this story is mainly from her perspective. Here’s the blurb:
I hate feeling so helpless, and having nowhere to call my own.
I clench my fists at my sides. I imagine tying up a ribbon inside my stomach, and pulling it taut. No use getting upset; that won’t achieve anything. What I need is a plan.
Alice’s plans have all failed. She withdrew from being cast to Phillip Stead, and moved out of her father’s house, but she’s tired of getting in the way. She wants her own life and her own adventure. After all, living in a town of a hundred people is quite a limited existence.
When Alice gets the chance to sail off to the island of Cape, it’s the opportunity she’s been looking for. But as she learns the way of the island, and to fall in love, she also realises that she’s left something behind in Whitecroft.
The Way of the Island is the second book in the Unity series, following on from The Day of the Dice, and explores finding your own path and overcoming pain and rejection.
If you’re new to this series, let me give you an intro. It’s the future, but it feels like the past. Whitecroft is a community of around 100 people, farming the land, with one boat for fishing purposes only. But in this story, Alice gets the opportunity to sail to an island called Cape. What she sees there changes everything.
The Way of the Island is out on 8th November and is available to preorder now. I am opening up my ARC team so if you’d like to sign up, the link is here. If you’re able to support me on social media, I would massively appreciate likes, comments and shares! Thank you so much.
