Have you been finding it difficult to read recently? With the warming weather, it can be easy to leave your paperback inside and enjoy the sunshine. Or perhaps you’ve been reading lots of different titles and haven’t been able to finish any of them.  We at Pegasus are just as guilty of these literary crimes, so have compiled a list of five books we think will help you out of a reading slump. These are from a variety of genres but are all under 200 pages long - so there should be somethin...

We adore thrillers at Pegasus Publishers and were so impressed with Meredith Vivian’s debut Running Hard, released back in 2019. Now, five years later, Meredith’s follow-up (but not continuation) novel Gorgeous and Adorable is drawing us to the edge of our seats once more. We spoke with Meredith about his changes in writing between titles, his love of the thriller genre and the importance of setting his book in the 1970s… ----------------------------------------------------...

We are honoured to work with as many authors as we do at Pegasus Publishers – each with their own stories to tell. Their worlds are singular, their characters are relatable and their creativity truly knows no bounds. This is Author Life, a feature on the Pegasus Blog, that opens the door to each of our author’s creative process and previous literary experience, offering you – the reader – an opportunity to learn a little about the mind behind the novel. Meet Olga Volozov...

“Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.” Taken from Twelfth Night, Shakespeare’s twenty-third play, this quote is part of a joke played on the steward Malvolio. However, in the 21st century, this line is reused in everything from political speeches to inspirational Instagram posts.  William Shakespeare is the most well-known and respected author in human history - and has inspired authors, playwr...

We are pleased and proud to announce the upcoming publication of artist Steven Ogg’s first poetry collection - Catharse-is! Steven is a longtime admirer and reader of poetry, and after a few years of uploading readings and musings to his Instagram page, Steven has chosen to compile his work into a written format. Exploring the hardships and heartbreak of life, as well as the euphoric and ethereal, Catharse-is is a powerful and thoughtful read to anyone looking to celebrate the ...

With each passing day, the importance of studying history and learning lessons from the past becomes more of a necessity. To interact with the past so directly, through fiction writing and telling stories with a historical background, is a love of our author, Rex Last. His latest title is Operation Seagull and like his previous book, tackles the events of World War Two and the oncoming storm of Nazism and fascism. We spoke with him about his interest in setting, control of genre and the ...

As a Commissioning Editor, there are many things to take into account before making a decision to offer a publishing contract. If it were only about the story and the illustrations, that would be easy. However, there is far more to it than that. This article is not about the quality of the writing, subject matter or illustrations but rather the commercial viability of a product. Yes, I said ‘product’. Although books are beautiful things, the elements laid out in this article need to be the f...

Today, we celebrate our furry friends, our cuddly companions, our loyal lads and lassies. To write stories about the pets we keep is to write stories about us all - with some extra cute and fluffy lead characters. We share our everyday lives with animals, who perceive and interact with our surroundings in a myriad of ways. Imagine the adventures! Imagine the possibilities! These five books are a small collection of the tales we’ve chosen to tell at Pegasus Publishers and Nightingale Books -...

As we emerge from the winter months, the sun starts to poke its head through the clouds and shine down on us. We are thankful for its warmth and would be unable to live without its nourishment. Wendy Kuchta’s book is a reminder that we need to cherish our fiery friend and protect ourselves from its more harmful habits. We talked with Wendy about her story, the elements she wanted to highlight, the inspiration behind them and the plan for her future writing. --------------------...
