Publication Day is always an exciting time for an author. Today marks the publication of the eBook of the Sun Song Trilogy. All three novels in the trilogy have had individual eBooks published in the past, but somehow, seeing the novels as one trilogy gives me a greater thrill.
eBook available from all good eBook sellers
Unlike the individual novels, the eBook trilogy is being marketed towards the adult, scifi reader. This is because we have found this is the audience most receptive to the story.
A fabulous new cover has been created by my publisher, Fledgling Press, and I have a fantastic video following the whole journey.
Most of the promotion has been done online but my local book seller, Guid Reads in Alva, has pulled out all the stops. The owner, Ruth Galloway has written quotes up on the windows and is promoting heavily through her own networks. Thank You!
I shared the video and cover through my newsletter way ahead of publication. If you would like sneak peeks at what’s coming up in future months you can sign up for the newsletter here.
Moira McPartlin’s debut novel The Incomers, published by Fledgling Press in 2012, was shortlisted for the Saltire Society First Book of the Year Award. Over the next seven years Moira wrote her speculative fiction, Sun Song Trilogy novels (also published by Fledgling Press). The novels, set in 2089, reflect many issues we face today. Moira’s last novel, Before Now: Memoir of a Toerag, is written entirely in the Fife dialect and was published by her own imprint, Trilleachan Press, in May 2021.
In 2021 she became a writing fellow at Hawthornden Castle. In 2022 she was appointed the Scriever for The Federation of Writers (Scotland), and in 2024 was the recipient of a Bridges Award, a residency at Cove Park, Argyll. Her short stories and poetry have been widely published in literary magazines and anthologies.
Moira’s latest publication, A Thing So Delicate: The Hidden Voices of Scotland’s Mass Concrete Viaducts, is a collaboration with her husband, Colin. It is a hybrid about the social history surrounding the building of Scotland’s Victorian mass concrete viaducts. This includes creative nonfiction, prose, poetry, and photography.
Moira is listed on the Scottish Book Trust Live Literature Database.
