Rainforest cover
Ryan writes…
Dear Michelle!
Hoping, as ever, that you are well and 2025 is treating you well so far! I just wanted to write to congratulate you on the STUNNING cover for RAINFOREST which I saw Goldsboro revealed a few days ago. I love how it’s so colourful and yet so foreboding and ominous! It’s gorgeous and I cannot wait to see it in the flesh when the book comes out. Absolutely itching to read it. It’s been a long time since WOLFBANE came out and the itch for new Michelle Paver is strong!
Wishing you all the best and hoping to catch you at an event later in the year!

Dear Ryan, I’m so glad that you like the cover! Like you, I’m really looking forward to seeing the book “in the flesh” (great phrase) – and yes, it does indeed seem a long time since Wolfbane; even though I’ve been hard at work writing: first on Rainforest, and latterly on another Gothic story, which should see me through the rest of the year. I hope all is well with you. Very best wishes for a great 2025! Michelle

On the adult side, her first ghost story, Dark Matter, was a UK bestseller and won massive praise from reviewers and readers alike, as did her second ghost story, Thin Air.
