My next book for Robert Hale, THE GHOSTS OF NEDDINGFIELD HALL, is due out at the end of December but here is the finished cover. As always the artist has produced a cover I like.
I'm pleased to be able to tell you that I've just sold my sixth My Weekly Pocket Novel to D C Thomson, called, LORD ATHERTON'S WARD. no doubt, like all the others, it will appear in about 15 months from now.
Last week I heard another quote I was told was made by the Duke of Wellington - everyone knows the one made about his troops before Waterloo "an infamous army, very weak and ill-equipped, and a very inexperienced staff". I wonder how many of you have heard this one - about making love. "The pleasure mementory, the postion ludicrous, the cost exorbitant." Priceless - and how true. (Jan Jones has now corrected me - it was Lord Chesterfield who said this.)
Best wishes

Lovely atmospheric cover, Fenella. And congratulations on the MWPN sale.
I think that quote properly comes from Lord Chesterfield who is reported to have said:
"The expense is damnable, the pleasure momentary and the position ludicrous."
Well- I shall tell my brother he's wrong!! Whoever said it - I love it.
How do you know it's Lord Chesterfield? I'm very impressed!!

I think it's one of those quotes I just know, Fenella. And I remember it being Lord Chesterfield because my slightly twisted mind immediately associated it with the Chesterfield sofa...
Lovely cover, Fenella.Wendy
