Building the Momentum

As Marie-Louise has collaborated with another two designers, Mark Coster of Pixooma Ltd and Maddie King of Graphic Mouse, the design of my book is moving towards the finishing line. Mark is working on the maps of each region and Maddie is working on the introduction section of my book, it is all coming together.

Marie-Louise has also reached out to another designer, Beckie Sanderson of Miss Digital Media, who is going to help with the upload of my book to Amazon and its marketing. As it is the first dark tourism book to cover the whole of the UK, I am thrilled to have so many people working on this unique project. While writing is a key aspect of this book, creating a visually appealing book that immerses the reader is just as important to me.

Having kept a close eye on the places I have written about I learned that the Bluebird K7 was no longer the subject of a legal dispute, it has gone on display at the Ruskin Museum in Coniston in March this year. I have updated the last part of the Bluebird K7 entry as I think this is a vital development in the history of the K7 that the reader should be aware of.

Throughout the process of my book, I have not only strived to provide information in a simplistic form but give the most up to date information. Working with numerous attractions, I have discovered that a lot of the information online is either out of date or inaccurate. Readers may even find that some of the information in my book contradicts what they have previously read, but this is because new information has emerged.

Some of the changes in information are minor from a sculpture that was once believed to be based on a specific person now merely depicting a young man; other changes are more significant, such as the changing of the last person to be publicly executed at a place.

I am not only excited to share with you places that you may not have heard of, but also new information about well-known places.
