MidnightSun will send our first novel off to the printer next week, after some very intense weeks working on both the cover and the internal design with wonderful Jenny Grigg. We cannot recommend her highly enough! Allan Taylor came on board and did an amazing job illustrating the book and drawing maps to help the reader find their way in the Swedish city of Malmö, where The Hum of Concrete takes place. Soon we will be able to reveal the cover here and give you a few samples of the beautiful drawings. Until then, have a fabulous New Year and 2012 full of great reading!
