Know the phrase “never judge a book by it’s cover?” At Pegasus Publishers, we come across this saying quite frequently – as one might imagine. But it’s in the story of Susan B McCarthy’s latest children’s tale that these words resound most. The Cat Who Lost His Miaow takes the one expectant characteristic of our feline friend and leaves them struggling with their place in the world. If a cat can’t miaow, then what can they do? The answer &n...

Same old books keeping you down? Are you stuck in a reading rut and looking for a ladder out? In this interview, we are speaking with Dennis Humphreys, whose book The Transit of Venus is celebrating one-year of publication next month. Dennis’ book is a mighty work of individualism, inspired by great romances, journeys of extraordinary achievement and by the inner workings of the publication and writing industries. Trying to nail the genre and mood of this book down is truly difficu...

We are honoured to work with as many authors as we do at Pegasus Publishers – each with their own stories to tell.

Anyone else feeling spooky? That’s right! The cosy comfort of Autumn may still blow on but in the dark of the night, something wicked this way comes… and it’s called our October Publication Day. October 31st will see the release of a new collection of Pegasus, Vanguard and Nightingale titles – rather ironically, none of them being outright horrors – and we promise that they’re all treats, not tricks. To navigate the cobwebs and the creeping fog, we&rsqu...

An adventure is waiting to be had, wherever you look and whoever you’re with, as well as magic being present in lots of our everyday things. You may not be able to fully comprehend it, to fully believe it, but look closely – no, closer – and you may just spot it. Writing duo Olga Lataonova and Manoj Kumar Mandelia know this to be true and so have written a wonderfully spirited children’s title to celebrate. In Bubo and the Little Stone magic comes from the smalles...

Friendships can bloom from the most unlikely of places, with joy to be found in most places – if you look deep enough that is! In fact, friendships don’t have to stay between people you know, they can come from your favourite animals too! In Nicole Matheny’s touching children’s book, The Best of Friends, the connection is between a young boy and a duck he meets whilst swimming at the dock. Teaching children to build trust and find new connections is at the heart o...

It can sometimes feel like the world is on the brink of a major catastrophe. The word “unprecedented” has been heard more times these past few years than any other and we’re constantly warned about bad news, bad people and bad things in general. But take joy in the fact that despite all this doom and gloom, we’re all still around, able to enjoy new stories – how about one set in a dystopian future? Shane Kind’s title skips the catastrophe and falls str...
