This is the oak tree on Wimbledon Common which inspired the design of Ignoring Gravity’s front cover. The tree stands alone on a quiet part of the common, tall and spreading. It must be hundreds of years old, oak trees can live in excess of 1000 years. Its canopy spreads wide and offers shelter from rain and sun. One day, as I sheltered from the rain, I noticed the pleasing effect of leaves against the sky. Next time you look at an oak tree, remember my front cover design!

What a wonderful story – thanks for sharing.
It’s interesting to know what inspires creativity.
Thx Shari. SD
I loved the photo of the tree, and then seeing the picture on your book, Very best of luck with it. To be honest, my FB page is crammed with desperate images of my own book so I’ve not much room to share, but I genuinely wish you every success: I know how hard the mountain is to climb
Thx Peter, I am blown away by how supportive other writers are being. 🙂 SD
