Hello! Guess what? For anyone who is still bothered, yes, I am still working on my book, Ruby and Oliver. It turns out that I wildly underestimated how long these things take, but I really am almost there now. I was looking at an old dummy from a few months ago and the change the whole thing has undergone is really immense. It has taken me quite a long time to find my visual language for this project, and to strengthen my skills, but hopefully it means I have lain some framework for the next book and it might not take quite as long.
I don't want to post any more final artwork, but I will post a cropped image which introduces a new silent character who has an important (albeit background) role in the story. I must think up a name for him...

I had some good news last week, Walker Books had a publishing meeting with Candlewick Press, its US counterpart and they are officially going to publish Ruby and Oliver in America. There were rumblings before but now it is definitely happening for sure, which is wonderful news for the book.
