Next week I will be launching my new monthly email newsletter. It’s basically for people who like my books and want to know more about them. I’m also going to be writing and illustrating new poems and serialised stories exclusively for newsletter subscribers.

I don’t want to give too much away, but the first edition will feature this handsome chap (his name is Archie).

And a grumpy crab (his name is Crab).

At the moment I’m planning to publish the newsletter monthly, though I’m fairly open-minded about frequency, format, and pretty much everything else about it.

If you would like to receive my email newsletter, please email ‘newsletter please’ to petarainford@gmail.com.

Many thanks – I hope you enjoy it!
