I SWORE to myself I wouldn't bother you lot anymore until I had some actual news to share and NOW I DO.

After weeks of poring over designs, throwing wine in each others' faces and trashing meeting rooms to resolve creative differences, Unbound's Art Director, my editor and myself have finally settled on the final look for The Second Death of Daedalus Mole, and you get to see it first! Apart from my mum, I showed my mum first.

Are you ready? ARE YOU READY? I WASN'T

It was designed by the brilliant Mark Ecob, with illustration by the inimitable Chel Traynor, who was also the first artist to bring Daedalus to life many many years ago. I'm in love with it and I'm currently trying to find out if I can get it printed on a bedspread.

Release date Thursday 30th August. Thank you all for your support. This couldn't have happened without you. I hope you like the book - and if you don't, please lie and tell everyone you know that you did.
