Londst: A Short Story
About this ebook
Just a nice, quiet, early afternoon's walk.
Or it would be if a giant talking lemon wasn't coming down the road.
Herdgewick's a bit of an expert. Crime-fighting, maze-cracking, bird-spotting; he's on it.
Only he might want to have brushed up on his tree species this morning. Getting them wrong is not a good idea in the not-so-quiet county of Londst...

About the author
Nice to meet you,
I started writing fiction in response to a winter scene in the audiobook of Little Women. That or the goings-on in Frog and Toad.
Londst is good starting point whilst Prince of the Apple Towns is the first book in the James and Jones series.
Both of the above and the first poetry collection - Dances, Towers, Hills & Skies - came into being in due to a desire to have a break from writing what was becoming a grand fantasy epic (I'd been at it on a particular piece for years on and off and just had to get away from it).
The epic in question surfaced in the form of Selected Celeste and that title is probably half what was going to be the original book (just had to get it out there and when it was finally released it was as if a great weight had been lifted).
Twinned, or tripleted, to the fiction and poetry is the artwork that is in Characters, Weathermere and Constellar and also on delartelle.com. As for the music, well, its rare for the radio or a playlist not be in motion when I'm at work or rest in Liverpool (classical, jazz, trance; progressive house, electronic, gregorian chant or deep house - the last one is playing even as I write this).
Best wishes,
Del Elle.
