Yes Doug, well done. It was a good write up in the Keighley News. I hope that it is selling well for you. Cheers, Bill.

Re: A story for Christmas

I hope I am not the only one who has read Doug’s book. It is a fascinating take on the star-followers from the East who chance to meet in search of some deliverance from their successful but unfulfilled lives: one young, one middle aged and one old; a king, a minister and a priest; none sure what to make of the powerful presence but seeming banality of the mother and child they find when the star stops.
And Trevor’s brilliant cover captures exactly the mirage-like uncertainty of the journey’s meaning to them.

Re: A story for Christmas

Thanks Gareth,
I should point out that the actual painting used on the cover is by author/artist Doug. I simply arranged the elements and the typography.
