Happy Publication Day, Essie. Here's to loads of sales. It's a great read and gripped from start to finish.
ReplyDeleteI've never been so exciting about a publication day and would love a signed copy of this fantastic book! Good luck Essie. It's a fantastic cover too. The painting in Elijah's Mermaid is 'A Mermaid' by John William Waterhouse.
ReplyDeletewithout giving too much away it's A Mermaid by Waterhouse ( or Warehouse as we like to call him ;) )
ReplyDeleteloved the Somnambulist Essie, can't wait to read the new one
Oh do enter me, please, I'd love a signed copy. Is it A Mermaid by J W Waterhouse? And I've just seen the link to Mengin's Sappho on the right (thank you!). It's been an obsession of mine for years.
ReplyDeleteI should love to win this. I believe the painting used is J. W. Waterhouse's 'A Mermaid'. I love Victoriana, the Gothic & mermaids - I could wish for little more.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'd love to enter the competition. I think it is A Mermaid, by John William Waterhouse :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on publication of your new book. I would love a signed copy. I think the answer is A Mermaid by Waterhouse.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! How exciting. Congrats, Essie. What a beautiful cover. Water Baby by Herbert James Draper is my guess. What an exciting description. I cannot wait to pick up a copy of it! Good luck everyone!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful beautiful cover. One that completely draws you in. No one could fail to pick it up off a shelf.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on publication day Essie. Wishing you much success with it.
I don't know the above answer, but I'm putting A Mermaid, by John William Waterhouse
Like everyone else is saying: A Mermaid by Warehouse, err I mean Waterhouse (Damn You copy and paste!)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new book!
I can't go against the flow, so I tossed and tossed around in dreams A Mermaid by John William Waterhouse and stunning too.
ReplyDeleteLike the cover of the Somnabulist and this one too. So similar, yet so different. I have to say I love this one. Good luck, Essie.
Looking forward to reading this and I love the cover.Waterhouse- the Mermaid.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on publication — wishing you heaps of sales and good reviews! I can't wait to read it and have already downloaded the Kindle version. Perfect for seaside train rides into the city. Would love a physical copy, though. The painting is Waterhouse's haunting 'A Mermaid,' yes?
