The first new titles of 2024 come as a pair. In other words, there are two of them. They are ‘The Junction’ by Alison Moore and ‘Removals’ by Ian Critchley. The cover images are by Nicholas Royle and the design, as ever, is by John Oakey of John Oakey Design, whom we thank for all his hard work. Alison Moore’s story is her fifth Nightjar and Ian Critchley’s is his first.
Readers who had been advised that author signatures were being phased out might be confused by the presence of author signatures in these publications. They are the last ones and had already been signed before the decision was taken, late last year.
It has become something of a tradition to have a bit of a moan here about Royal Mail – their ever-rising prices, the expensive gamble that posting overseas has now become etc – and, while we at Nightjar Press love innovation, we also respect tradition. If you order both new titles and they arrive in separate envelopes, you might think we have lost our minds. We might have done, but there is actually a good reason for sending ‘The Junction’ and ‘Removals’ separately and that reason is 90p. It costs £2.40 to send them in a single envelope and £1.50 to send them in two separate envelopes. Best of all is if you are in London or Manchester and we can deliver via Royle Mail instead. The cost to you, of Royle Mail, remains the same, while to us it is incalculable. But we like a good walk.
Thanks, as always, to our excellent printers, H&H Reeds Printers Ltd of Penrith.
We persevere with Twitter. Look out for occasional offers and competitions. Ditto on Instagram. Please get in touch to enquire about subscriptions, which work out slightly cheaper and mean you never miss a title.
