Hello gentle readers.

The number one Inari related news item for this week is that I have uploaded a holding cover for A Day in the Lies of Inari Meiwaku to Inkshares. This is based on a photo of a shrine to the real Inari in Kyoto, Japan taken by me so no copyright issues to worry about. Perhaps Inarie Meiwaku could have posed for this very statue! I’m expecting to replace this cover with a picture of Inari in, mostly, human form done by an artist friend of mine that will give the book a more Urban Fantasy feel than the current cover. 

In the meantime I think it looks quite pretty. Let me know your thoughts!

In writing news I’m onto Chapter 4 which gives a little more information about Inari’s life in London and explains how she was recruited by the organisation she calls MI13. 

I’m also trying to answer a couple more questions in order to get the narrative right. 

First, what could you buy in a supermarket that owls would like to eat? 

Second, what spirits would you meet in a court populated by the ghosts of dead places and structures from British history? So far I have previous incarnations of London Bridge, the ghost of the Great Exhibition and the ghost of old Sarum.

Let me know your thoughts and as ever please have a look at the chapters and post your thoughts and reviews.

Thanks everyone for your support.

Richard.
