Peter Nimble and Sir Tode are a major part of the story. ![]() Sophie Quire is technically a companion to my first novel, Peter Nimble & his Fantastic Eyes - but it is also a standalone story with a different hero set in a different world. The combined books are in many ways an examination of what it means to live in a world that has lost its sense of enchantment. But every time I got to that point, I thought of Sophie - mending books in a city that no longer read stories - and I knew I had to finish. Two years is a lot of time for most writers, but for me it was a sprint that very nearly broke me. More than a few times, I considered abandoning the book altogether. This book has been without question the most difficult challenge of my career. ![]() I am delighted to announce that after more than 4,000 hours of writing, Sophie Quire & the Last Storyguardis finished! ![]()
