Did my editor like the artwork I finished for Walker – the boy who can talk to dogs?
She did, but she didn’t like the character in the image on the left. It reminded her of someone when she was young who she thought was a werewolf.
My immediate reaction was to think, “Oh yes! There the plot for book 4 in the series!”
A little though and I realised that wasn’t going to happen, so I made Mr Bonus, the Latvian village shop keeper and Walkers business inspiration, look a little softer around the eyebrows. I think it make him look a bit like Lemmy from Motorhead!

I’ve since changed a few other illustrations as I noticed inconsistencies with the text as I went through the final edit with illustrations in place. Of course I should have noticed before I did the artwork!
Walker is out on the 14th of March and you can preorder the book at Amazon with the link below, so you can be the first to read it!
