Maybe this can be a coloring story book about a fire sneezing dragon called Mari! What do you think?

I am extremely nervous to announce that my first novel will be published in the UK on 28th March. I have zero reach on social media so any help promoting it would be most gratefully received. Thank you.

Read about it, and pre-order a copy here.

Front cover of novel Slings and Arrows by Nick McLoughlin. A dart sticks in the letter O of Arrows. Beneath it are 3 pints of beer and a bottle of milk in a row. The words a novel are written on the milk bottle.

Here’s how I explain it to my students:

“First time I saw these local eggs (generic carton + hand-dated sticker) I thought about rebranding them, but there’s nothing I could do that would be more authentic. Design is not about making things look nice—it’s about making things look like themselves.”

Generic egg carton with a hand written label.
