Nicest thing that happened to me today was the arrival of this damnably good-looking book by Litopian Leonora Nattrass

BLACK DROP is published by Viper, an imprint of Serpent’s Tail, which is part of the highly-regarded Profile Books here in London, it is a sumptuous production… as you can see


There are pages of fabulous endorsements, I'll just quote two:

‘A thrilling slice of pitch-dark historical fiction, led by a hugely engaging narrator’ - EMMA STONEX

‘A gripping, intricate story of Georgian high politics and low life’ - W.C. RYAN
​

I'm so happy that Litopia played a part in the birth of this wonderful book... and in the launch of an exciting new writing voice BLACK DROP is coming on holiday with me Buy BLACK DROP here...

[Leonora]

Thanks for all your good wishes. Litopia was really key for me in finding out what was wrong with the book and putting it right. For instance, @AgentPete told me to delete the first two chapters which turned out to be brilliant advice and also very satisfying!!!
