All good things …
Yes, you know the rest, but we slipped in the anapodoton heading, anyway. Rhetorical devices are such fun, but enough of that hogwash.
After stopping and starting, our newsletter, if life permits, launches on 1 March. A welcome email and Mr Q’s Mewsletter, in salute to resident ginger puss, Mr Quince, should land in a user’s inbox when subscribing. Also included, a free copy of A Mind Romance, the story of how sparring protagonists, Jon Windup and Wendy May, first met and became unlikely friends.
Purrfect.

AULD LANG SYNE
The words to Auld Lang Syne, a favourite for New Year revellers, is an anthem sung on New Year’s Eve/Hogmanay, to bid farewell to the old year when midnight strikes. When old friends have a drink and recall adventures of long ago. The text, a poem written by Scotland’s National Treasure Robert Burns in 1788, is based on an older Scottish folk song and has stood the test of time.
For Wenark Green, 2025 will be a busy year with doable goals and visions. That only leaves us to say thank you for your support throughout 2024. Warm wishes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2025.

Happy Holidays!
It’s that time of year again when everything twinkles, kids’ faces beam, and people buy enough food and drink to re-sink the Titanic. For goodness sake, the shops are only closed for one day.
For us, the festive season means kicking back for a few days, indulging in some inspired cuisine, and enjoying the many repeats on TV.
Thanks for being part of Wenark Green’s year. We appreciate your readership, support, reviews, and time. We take this opportunity to wish you a magical, Merry Christmas. Hope Santa fills your stockings with good reads.

AUTHORS SUPPORTING AUTHORS
We believe supporting other authors is vital, especially indies like us, and we’re on an indie book-buying mission to prove our point. We’ll read and review every story our peepers see, champion the self-published who oft get a bad press, and tell the world, albeit not many want to listen right now. Ever the optimists, that WILL change.
Our first recommendation, Grime Doesn’t Pay, by @jaylarkinbooks is for short-story lovers. An enjoyable medley of little mysteries featuring conscientious, inquisitive benefactor and sleuth, Jenny Brooks. An easy read with likeable characters, each chapter brings an individual tale.

Book fest frolics!
Yesterday, Wenark Green appeared at the Rosewell Book Festival at a local primary school that calls itself a reading school. One of the first things that hit us was how the school encouraged kids to read, obvious from the variety of books we saw. Another positive, which caught our eye, was the commitment to learning, as well as inspiring quotes, beautiful hand-drawn art, and dedicated staff.
Among books, bouncy castles, and readers of diverse genres, we introduced ourselves and our books, talked about our publishing journey, read some excerpts, engaged in a Q&A, and giggled with the audience. We enjoyed over three hours of mingling and chatting about one of our passions, leaving with that obligatory, warm, fuzzy feeling of a job well done.
Thanks to Rosewell Primary School for the opportunity and to all attendees who ventured out on a dreich afternoon. You made it one to remember.

HORRID HERBS, UNCOVERED!
It’s said never judge a book by its cover, but most readers do, not to their advantage, judging by the heavy criticism, without construction, on the pages within. A major peeve, but that’s another story.
Once again, we’ve worked with a fab-u-lous designer to make our cosy mystery cover look like … a cosy mystery cover, and now reveal the well-seasoned jacket for Horrid Herbs, our third Windy & Darling book.
Launching early 2025, watch out for fascinating witches, snivelling snitches, and a bunch of characters who’ll have you in stitches!

The Autumn Equinox
Here, in the northern hemisphere, colder days and nights herald a seasonal change. Weather forecasts are already talking about autumn because meteorologically, it starts on 1 September. But astronomically, autumn begins at equinox.
Derived from Latin, “equinox” literally translates to “equal night.” The Earth’s axis, tilted at an average of 23.5°, travels on its yearly path around the Sun, towards or away from it, giving us our seasons. On equinox, the tilt of Earth’s axis is perpendicular to the Sun’s rays, producing a nearly equal amount of day and night across the world.
The autumn equinox usually falls between 22 and 24 September. Today, in the UK, it manifests at 13:44 BST.
Romantic poet, John Keats, stitches up the season beautifully in the first lines of Ode to Autumn, and we do our bit in Fatal Fungus, available now on Amazon.
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.
Close bosom friend of the maturing sun.
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
with fruit, the vines that round the thatch eves run.
To bend with apples the mossed cottage-trees.
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core.

A+ for Content
Contrary advice. Not what new self-published authors expect. Had we known this ‘magnetic’ tactic called A+ content would embellish our books, much like a shop window, we’d have been on it months ago. But we didn’t and we haven’t, so there. Looking for a new home hasn’t helped. A time-consuming, stressful exercise at the best of times becomes more heinous in a money-grabbing world full of dubious sorts. Technology’s fine, but hiding behind a screen to peddle shady shenanigans is not! That said, our salsa with skulduggery’s priceless for a forthcoming book.
Then, there’s the ad debacle. ‘You need at least twenty-five reviews. No, fifteen or twenty’s fine.’ Turns out five will suffice. Or ten. What? Make your bleeding minds up, ‘experts!’ We’ll settle for five, a number we achieved weeks ago, and leave the rest to providence and the nuances of people.
In summary, that elusive ‘finding your reader audience’ is still as remote as the sun. So, how do we deal with the doubts, the downs, the despondency? Challenge the effects of striving for success and living with neuro disorders? We learn. We grow. Remain resilient. Persevere. We keep on keeping on. Always!

Welcome to Treetonshire!
Should’ve done this moons ago, but that old platitude better late than never applies. Treetonshire, a fictitious county, and the setting for The Windy & Darling Cosy Mystery Series, is home to eight cosy villages on the periphery of county town, Treeton. Linkville is both the name of those villages and the community council, which often includes Treeton, and where all manner of skulduggery occurs.
Yes, you might get murdered, but you can still take afternoon tea!

When sage meets stage!
You know that feeling when you’ve eaten or drank too much, or simply had a glut of whatever, and utter, “Never again,” because the aftermath’s a tough gig? Yes, of course you do. We said it after Deadly Dough and again when finishing Fatal Fungus, but we soon forgot. Why? Because plotting’s over, writing’s begun, and Horrid Herbs is underway. We’re hoping for a January 2025 release and that buzz is with us. Never again? Don’t be silly!

Blows like the wind?
Fatal Fungus, book two of the Windy & Darling cosy mystery series, has finished another three-day promo, and how did it do? No comment. The challenge of finding our tribe is real, gruelling, and demoralising, but we’ll raise our tomahawks, don our chieftain feathers, and persevere.
Belief in our books will never wane, and that has nothing to do with ego. Every author should be proud of their achievement. Writing, editing, and publishing novels takes courage. Laying yourself bare to criticism, unkind ramblings, and a lack of respect takes some doing. For this collaboration, who also has the trials of living with chronic conditions, the nerve (pun intended) is paramount.

Promo days are here!
Following the launch of Fatal Fungus, the second book in the Windy & Darling cosy mystery series, we’re heading into five-day promo time. In this often soul-destroying, demoralising literary world, attracting new readers isn’t easy for newbie authors. That said, we believe in our products. Our ability to tell an entertaining story, brimful of unforgettables from character to coffee. Chagachino from Deadly Dough springs to mind. Anyhoo, enough of the gabbling. We can only set out our stall and leave the rest to providence.

Nothing fatal about congrats and pink fizz. It’s here, it’s live, and there’s not mush more to say. Fatal Fungus, the second Windy & Darling cosy mystery in our series launched today. Yes, you rotter, you’ve caused us grief, endless tantrums, and tears, but hey, we love you and your warming, humorous pages. We’re partial to a drop of pink fizz too. Here’s to Horrid Herbs.

CONTENT IS COSY!
We did it. Started working with a marketing and communications consultant. After an inspiring, motivational Zoom call, Wen & Ark are looking to choose a couple of themes each and set cosy content in motion. During our session, when Anna of Anna Caig Communications identified many engaging themes, we had to laugh. We’d always assumed we had limited choice. Now it’s go-go-go. We’re cosying up to addictive content. Can’t wait to get stuck in!

FINAL FURLONG FOR FATAL FUNGUS. THREE SPANNERS INCLUDED!
A spanner in the works, or rather three, have stopped our proposed blog tour on the launch date for our second WinDarl cosy mystery, Fatal Fungus. We’re still releasing the book on 24 June (midsummer’s day) with a new blog tour date to be arranged. The formatting’s underway and we await the full cover from our designer in readiness for the big day. Eternal optimists with a leaning towards positive energy. No doom and gloom here, people!

WHAT WE BUILT, FELL!
That ol’ devil called brand-building’s at it again. How silly of us to consider it cracked when dynamics change so fast. This marketing malarky is not for the weak, impatient, easily distracted, et al. No, cheeky, we’re not saying that’s us but you know which way the wind’s blowing, yes?
To face this problem, we’ve signed up with a marketing and communications expert. Sessions start in June, and hopefully, our future builds will stay put for years to come. Good luck, Wenark!

Life’s calamities have a nasty way of interfering, but we’re aiming to get back on track, building our brand. All being well, expect to see a flurry of activity on our website and socials over the coming weeks as we introduce our brand, vision, and ethos.
In other news, Fatal Fungus is shaping up nicely as editing progresses. A rewrite here, a few tweaks there, and, despite getting knocked down, the launch still looking good for 24 June.

BUILDING A BRAND, THE WENARK WAY
When you say the words quickly, sounds easy enough, but easy it is not. It helps if you start from the beginning and work methodically, instead of fumbling around with a gazillion concepts and themes and pictures and videos. And so it goes on.
We are now focused on building our author brand. Our identity as a writing collaboration and how we want our audience to see and perceive us. This involves writing style. The colours, design, and typeface we use on our website. Formatting style. Social media posts. Blogs. Emotions we evoke from readers with our personalities and our books through characters, topical themes, banter, and wit.
This list isn’t exhaustive, and so to building. The Wenark Green Collab means business.

FEBRUARY NEWS
Meant to post this yesterday. After all, February arrived then, but never mind. ‘Tis the month we see the days getting longer and pancakes and maple syrup are aplenty, although, in her youth, Wen preferred a savoury crepe, and drizzled malt vinegar and sea salt over hers. Smothered in golden syrup was Ark’s way, and still is!
More daylight there may be, but we still have twenty-four hours in a day, which means planning our writing/editing/marketing wisely, and we will. Keep your eyes peeled for the latest developments in our news feed.

PAWS FOUR THOUGHT:
MR QUINCE, THE PUB CAT, IS HITTING THE SOCIALS SOON!
Our very own fabulous feline friend is preening himself for his pawsome debut on social media. Mr Quince, bestest pub cat, mouser, and enigcatic influencer in the entire kingdom, is fluffing out his ginger coat, brushing up his white bib and socks, and putting on his best grin. With gorgeous green eyes sparkling, this cat’s ready for superstardom!
Born under a wandering star, we liken Quincy to Macavity the Mystery Cat, aka the Hidden Paw, in TS Eliot’s magical poem. Then again, he’s nothing like Macavity at all. A rover, curiosity, and all-round mound of orange mischief, Mr Quince has his own POV and so much cattitude it’s frightening. He’s also an artful sleuth, he mews, but shhh, don’t tell everyone!
Wherever he lays his paws, that’s Quincy’s home, and when he tires of playing cuckoo? Back to the humans he adopted and enslaved. Mr Quince, the positively purrfect puss and gentleman, wants to meet you all. Come, say hello to the irresistible furmeister. He’ll love you for it!
