Look out Harry Potter--there's a New Hero in Town!

At long last I'm pleased to announce that Flora Segunda of Crackpot Hall is now available across in the U.K.

Though the novel's text remains the same, Flora Segunda of CH does have some supplemental material, including Nini Mo's Tips for Rangers, a Cast of Characters, a short bio of yours truly and a few other little treats. Plus, the cover is terrific--the image on Amazon really does not do it justice at all. The book's a paperback, so there's no dust-jacket, but it does have a double cover that opens up to a series of portraits by Finnish artist Heli Heita--we've got Flynn, and Mamma, Poppy (looking slightly Uncle Fester-y, alas), Udo and Valefor, and a lovely full portrait of our hero, Flora, looking mighty heroic in her redingote, The Eschatanomicon tucked under her arm. Really really cool.

Woo!

Hooray! We're heading to the Borders in Leeds tomorrow - maybe I'll bring my digital camera along...
