Seriously you have to listen to that classic 80s cheesy song from Fame.

So this was going to the inaugural "That Friday Feeling" post on my Facebook page but I've decided I need more formatting scope than posting on my Facebook Page allows.

I think I'll still do "That Friday Feeling" posts but they'll be posted right here on my blog.

(I hope you're still listening to Friday Night!)

I intend this to be a weekly event reviewing the week gone by, looking ahead and general chatting about anything I think of at the time.

It was quite a surprise for me to find that this week we celebrated the first flight of the Spitfire.  Along with the Hurricane and maybe the Lancaster bomber the Spitfire is probably the most iconic aircraft of the World War II era.

(I'm now expecting people to bombard me with angry tweets telling me I ignored the Mustang, the Zero, the BF-109 or another of the other iconic planes of the time.)

For me though even the name Spitfire has an edge to it no other plane name has.  And so when it came to name the eponymous dragon of my novel George and the Dragon there was no other choice but to call him Spitfire.

For those that haven't been keeping up with the blog my début novel is about a boy called George who befriends a dragon, he names Spitfire, and together with the RAF they fight the Luftwaffe and Nazi dragons during the Battle of Britain.

You should be aware that I'm in the very late stages of editing the final product, and am gearing up to release the book before the end of this month.  Because of this and given this week is the anniversary of the first Spitfire flight I figured it was time to let a different kind of Spitfire fly.

So without further delay I invite you to click the button:



I think it's an amazing job and the guys at ebook-designs.co.uk nailed the brief.

The cover conveys exactly what I wanted it to.

I'd be really interested in what you think so leave a comment, send me a tweet or post on my Facebook page.

Thanks for dropping by.

Phil
