A cover design for The Farthest Shore

In my most recent Pinnacle newsletter, I wrote a little about the thinking process that went into creating the cover for The Farthest Shore, my upcoming book about looking for solitude on the Cape Wrath Trail in winter. That process has now come to its conclusion after a further round of design tweaks, and I couldn’t be more pleased to share the final design with you here.

The book, which is being published by the hard-working team at Vertebrate Publishing, will be out in September this year. The best way to be alerted of pre-orders or any special deals will be to sign up to receive my newsletter, but I’ll also be spreading the news far and wide over my blog and social channels, of course! I consider this book some of my finest work from recent years, so I can’t wait to share it with the world.
