\"Old Hey everyone! I have exciting news today. My new Victorian novella, Old Ruddy\u2019s Questions,<\/em> is set to release at the end of the month!<\/p>\n

Old Ruddy<\/em> has been a special project all the way through, and I\u2019m so eager to share it with all of you, now. I\u2019ve never taken a hymn, verse by verse, and used it as the outline of a story before. But it worked super well (in my humble opinion!) and I could even see myself using the same structure again.<\/p>\n

Now, as suggested in this post title, today is all about revealing Old Ruddy\u2019s<\/em> cover. But before we do that, here\u2019s a peek at what the novella itself is all about:<\/p>\n

Old Ruddy\u2019s Questions<\/strong><\/h5>\n

By Courtenay Burden<\/p>\n

Art thou weary, art thou languid,
\nArt thou sore distressed?
\n\u201cCome to me,\u201d saith One, \u201cAnd coming,
\nBe at rest.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Old Ruddy sits slumped and dejected on the railway bench. His life at the station is all that he has, and after forty years of faithful service that life seems to be slipping from his grasp.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Old<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTake it to the Saviour!\u201d a nameless traveller breaks into Ruddy\u2019s silent grief.<\/em><\/p>\n

But when the station whistle interrupts their conversation before the broken-down railway porter can ask the questions that are flooding his soul, Ruddy embarks on a remarkable quest to find the answers for himself.<\/em><\/p>\n

Will Ruddy\u2019s prayers bring the right travellers to the Tyneford-upon-Mere station? And if they come, will they have the answers Ruddy so desperately craves? Watch as the faith of one soul, groping blindly towards the light, begins to touch and transform lives beyond Old Ruddy\u2019s wildest dreams.<\/em><\/p>\n

Built around John Mason Neale\u2019s translation of an 8th<\/sup> century hymn, and set against the backdrop of rural Victorian travel, Old Ruddy\u2019s Questions will challenge you to take a closer look at the foundational truths of your faith\u2014and the way those truths intersect with everyday life.<\/em><\/p>\n

And Now: The Cover<\/strong><\/h5>\n

So, without further ado\u2014I am excited to introduce you to Old Ruddy\u2019s <\/em>cover. With many thanks to my patient designer, who put up with my meticulous (and sometimes see-sawing!) feedback\u2014here is\u00a0Old Ruddy’s Questions: THE COVER!<\/em><\/p>\n

Old Ruddy\u2019s Questions: Coming Soon!<\/strong><\/h5>\n

I would have loved to be ready for pre-order in time for this cover reveal. But in the midst of a pretty hectic month, that didn\u2019t quite happen.<\/p>\n

However, keep your eyes open, because there\u2019s a good chance the pre-order link will be coming sometime before launch day.<\/p>\n

And launch day (Lord willing) will be March 30!<\/p>\n
