Works in progress

I have a number of works in progress. These are the projects on which I am working at the moment. 

Mr. Summerhaye's horse

Nature: historical fiction novella (illustrated)

Subject: a spin-off of As Winter Came and Went, telling the story of Summer, a Barb racehorse from Morocco (he is the horse of the main character of As Winter Came and Went). It can be read independently from the original novel. It is set in 1815-1820, in Morocco and then England.

Progress: the manuscript is being beta read and proof read. 

Manner of publication: Independant

Provisional release date: 2nd of June 2020 (the date is liable to change depending on the evolution of the current global situation and might be delayed). 

The sequel of As Winter Came and Went

Nature: historical fiction novel

Subject: set in the 1820s, it follows the story of the characters of As Winter Came and Went, four years after the end of the first novel.

Progress: the first draft is finished and is being edited.

Manner of publication: Independant

Provisional release date: unknown (I optimistically hoped I would be able to release it in 2020 but that will not be happening. 2021 is more likely). 

The Orchid Collector

Nature: historical fiction novel

Subject: set in the 1770, it follows the adventures of a French botanist and of a half-Annamese young woman, from England to Cochinchina. Their fates are linked to that of a scientific expedition to the Mekong Delta. 

Progress: has gone through several rounds of editing, queries to agents have been sent.

Manner of publication: unknown

Provisional release date: unknown
