Just a subtle, but perhaps nonetheless powerful, update to the project page today. I have changed the short description. This has come about after re-running a plot analysis and review. The story is still the same and the chief pro- and an-tagonists have remained. I have ’retarget’ things a little. The new short description now reads:
’It always causes enough trouble when any son rebels against the family business, but when Mummy is a supreme deity things are going to get real ugly.’
I feel this is a more powerful ’elevator pitch’ and avoids the trap of people thinking it is ’Just another generic story’. Also, as soon as I’ve worked out how to do it I shall be including some more graphical stuff in the about section too.
As always, I am very interested in everyone’s thoughts and suggestions.
Just a quick note about the preview text on the Traakenholt project page.
I have tidied up the chapter structure a bit. It is now in the order it shall appear in the book. Chapter 2 is missing. This is intentional for the moment. Most of the text has remained the same except for a few typos and grammar hiccups that have now been fixed. Exceptions are:
Chapter 1 (previously know as prologue). I have introduced a section about the birth of Trivian and Wallic.
Chapter 3 (previously chapter 1) I have put a bit more content into the first boat trip to the island.
Otherwise, I have made the decision to remove the chapter titles. I may reverse this at a later date but for now they are only going to be number.
I am always open to feedback so do, please, give me your thoughts.

Just a quick note to let you know I have updated the book cover illustration on the Traakenholt project page.
Let me know what you think.
