Cold Water - LIVE On Unbound!
Proud of this one! Excited to say my second submersible book, Cold Water, is LIVE now on the Unbound website and available for pledges…
Well, this is exciting! My second submersible book, Cold Water, has just launched TODAY over on Unbound (the world’s first crowdfunding publisher with 3 Sunday Times bestsellers last year)…
Join myself and my two older brothers, Calum and Robbie – the Wild Swimming Brothers (world-first swimmers of a 90-mile river and two Norwegian maelstroms) – for an off-kilter family travelogue, exploring wintry English lidos, Icelandic bays and Guernsey gorges. Learn more about how to train, condition yourself and reconnect with your body through mindful cold exposure. Meet ice swimming veterans (Colin Hill, Anna-Carin Nordin) and countless grinning newcomers, across five years of seasonal swims and conditioning, juggling everyday stresses and the belly-flop of the Covid pandemic.
I’m really proud of this one and excited to work with Unbound into the future. This is a natural follow-up to my first book, Swim Wild (Yellow Kite Books). Cold Water offers both experiential and expert insight for aspiring outdoor swimmers and future cold water converts. Find out how to source urban training spots, discover the best nutrition for cold swims, learn how to manage the ‘afterdrop’ and ‘deep water fear’, meet expert coaches with advice to hone your technique and learn exactly what happens to your body during cold water immersion. And, all of this while we build-up to an Ice Km and Ice Mile – two of the most brutal challenges that exist in outdoor swimming.
Pledge now on Unbound’s website for signed hardbacks, bobble hats, other exclusive cold water goodies and even a chance to get your name in the book!
New Alternate Cover Art! (The Machine)
Great news! Our final Kickstarter rewards have now been finished by my brother, Robbie - anyone whose pledge included Digital 'The Seven' Portrait artwork will be able to pick from one of 6 A4 original works once our campaign ends. I've included 3 examples of these below for you to check out. Each one depicts characters from the book and has been carefully rendered using a selection of descriptive excerpts.
Above you'll also see another exciting last-minute addition to our rewards list: Alternate Hardback Cover Art in graffiti-style, using Robbie's adapted works. There are 15 of these exciting new rewards available now with just a few weeks to go until our campaign ends!
