The first two Nightjar chapbooks of 2011 will be launched on Monday 7 March at an event at Words on the Water Festival, Keswick. They are Lexicon by Christopher Burns (17pp) and Field by Tom Fletcher (12pp). Both Burns and Fletcher have strong links with West Cumbria – Burns lives in Whitehaven, while Fletcher grew up there before moving to Manchester – and both are now Quercus authors. Tom’s second novel, The Thing on the Shore, is due out from Quercus very soon, and Chris’s first novel since 1996′s Dust Raising will appear from the same publisher next year, entitled A Division of the Light.To secure your copies of these two chapbooks – both limited to 200 signed, numbered copies – please drop me a quick email to nicholasroyle(at)mac.com with your order. Payment may be by cheque, made payable to Nicholas Royle (pls send to 38 Belfield Road, Manchester M20 6BH), £3.50 for one chapbook or £6.50 for two (incl p&p), or by direct bank transfer (details available on request). If you are an existing customer, I don’t need to receive payment before sending your order. Just confirm that your address has not changed and I will get them out to you without delay.

They are now ready to launch their spring titles: “Field” by Tom Fletcher and “Lexicon” by Christopher Burns. I have never heard of them, but I trust Nicholas Royle’s tastes. You can find details to order your copies on Nightjar’s blog. [...]
