TODAY'S TALE takes us into the mind of a young girl who is not like the others, into forests and derelict mental asylums, into a village plagued by Strange Goings On and
a murder of crows,
a caucus of crows,
an alibi of crows,
a hover of crows,
a congress of crows,
a storytelling of crows,
a horde of crows,
a muster of crows,
a parcel of crows,
a cowardice of crows,
a cauldron of crows *
arriving in ever growing numbers to take roost on the roofs.
I am very pleased to announce that I was happened upon this winter by Danny Rhodes, a Kent author whose new book Naomi & The Devil of Darkling Green is to be published by Scott Pack of The Friday Project in spring 2009. I have been set the task of bringing Darkling Green and all its inhabitants to life with my pencil and paintbrush and I am very excited indeed...
*some collective nouns for crows ... aren't they wonderful!

How super. You'll do the book proud, I'm sure.
How wonderful! You must be thrilled. I'm happy for you.
"....into forests and derelict mental asylums"
I am intrigued.

Sounds like a terrific project.
I am currently listening to Susan Cooper's "The Dark is Rising" on tape and the crows and/or rooks are currently circling en masse!
Congratulations on the book project! I rather like "caucus of crows" but would spell it "cawcus of crows" :) best of luck with it all, will be keeping an eye on your / the books progress. You are a great choice for illustrating such a book ; )
Well done! I'm exiting too - I hope we get to see your pictures here soon if you're allowed to :)
Thanks all for your nice words :) Yes.. an exciting project, and my first proper foray into the world of publishing!
Wonderful, it sounds just wonderful, and perfect for you! You just can't beat a good derelict mental asylum! :)
Sounds like a great project - well done, can't wait to see the results - what you written in your post is just so intriguing ;)
I'm curious. I've not been able to find this book. Did it ever publish or was it published under a different title?
Yes indeed Grace... it was not to be. The publisher dissolved and so as far as I know the author is still searching for a publisher...
