It should also be on Kindle in the next couple of days (even tomorrow - the file is currently processing). Hi Candice - oh, bless her! It will be released next Tuesday 8th March in print on Amazon, and should become available to order in print from other stores a couple of weeks later due a slight delay at the other printer. I don’t email often, and you can unsubsribe at any time. If you’re not on my mailing list but would like to be notified when Return to the Secret Lake is available to order, please sign up to my occasional newsletter here. Sign up to my occasional newsletter to be notified… Do let me know what you/your children/pupils think of the cover if you get a moment? And I’ll post again once the book is available to order. More on this in a later blog post, or sign up to my email list. Teachers/home schoolers - As previously mentioned, I shall be creating some interesting lesson plans to go with the book. 😊 With thanks to Anne Swift for the magical mole! Lesson plans In the meantime, below is a quick look at the opening page of Chapter 1.

Look out for another post in the next couple of weeks with links to pre-order pages. The book is now having its final print copy proofread and I aim to make it available for pre-order in the next week or so, with a likely release date not very long after that in early March once the final files are uploaded to all printing platforms. This image is exactly as I had hoped it would be, and more…Ī quick flick through the final proof copy – you may see see a few mark-ups! Launch date I hope you’ll agree that my cover designer, Stuart Bache, has done a brilliant job - in the many years I have been mulling over a sequel, I always knew that the story would involve a young child from the past coming to find Stella and Tom at night. You’ll also find a couple of ‘sneak peeks’ inside the book further down. Please do comment below or email me to let me know what you think? - and feel free to share with friends, family or pupils. (There are no real surprises in its title! - Return to the Secret Lake.) I shall be sharing the full cover and blurb seen below more widely in the coming week, but wanted my newsletter and blog subscribers to see it first. This is a quick update to say that I signed off the final cover for the sequel to The Secret Lake on Friday, and the book is having final checks.
