Original artwork description:

02 / 10 / 2023 I signed a book contract for Egg Island; it will now go through the publishing process and will be in print next year.

I was overwhelmed by the editorial board's feedback that my work was “a most thrilling, absorbing and attractive read that was well-written and will certainly captivate a wide audience. The board was very pleased with the intriguing plot, which was well-conceived and developed alongside a fascinating cast of characters”.

“Your work is very well-structured, allowing the story to build progressively and weave together the underlying messages included in your work, including the importance of engaging with new cultures and the centrality of home that are sure to resonate with many contemporary readers. The Board was keen to comment on the ambitious scope of the work and the engaging quality of the prose, which successfully delivered the reader into the strange and wonderful world of Egg Island and its inhabitants”.

I am very excited, and all my Eggs hanging on walls worldwide will now have a new story to tell, and I’m already working on the next volume.
