The Wild Colouring Book release date announced!

Super excited. Today, the proof copy of The Wild Colouring Book arrived!

Suffice to say, I got rather giddy! Today I've spent some time testing it with felt tip pens, artist markers and various colouring crayons. It's performing really well!

The paper is not bleeding at all for the felt tips, which is brilliant, and the colouring pencils are laying down a fantastic, vibrant layer of colour. It's really easy to shade. Happy days! I so hope that people enjoy colouring it. :D

I'm happy to announce that it will be published on Thursday 28th May 2015!

 

Int he meantime, you can grab some FREE colouring pages from the book exclusively from my website at illustration.megcowley.co.uk!

 

Happy colouring!

Fancy a free eBook AND a free autograph?

Did you know that there's a really cool way to get not only a free eBook copy of The Tainted Crown: The First Book of Caledan, but a free autograph too?
The Tainted Crown print edition is proud to be a part of the Kindle Matchbook program, which means that if you buy the print edition of thebook through the Amazon store, you can get a kindle copy absolutely free.
What's even better, I also use authorgraph.com to offer digital autographs, so, if you have any eBook version of The Tainted Crown, you can request a personalised autograph directly from me at no cost! These can be viewed online, downloaded as PDFs and downloaded directly onto your eReader.
I hope that you'll give Kindle matchbook and Authorgraph a try!
