It’s publication day for Swan Song (4th Feb 2021). Swan Song is a story about teenage mental health and the restorative powers of nature.

For the publication of Swan Song, I have made a silver swan pendant to be auctioned and the money donated to Papyrus a suicide prevention charity

If you would like this pendant and also support Papyrus, please go to my author Facebook page and write the amount you would like to offer in the comments, and the highest bidder will be asked to donate that amount to Papyrus, and then I will post the pendant and a signed copy of Swan Song. UK addresses only. https://www.facebook.com/GillLewisAuthor

Bids will close on February 10th 2021 at 8pm.

Please note – all the parts of the pendant are made from sterling silver. However it can’t be hall marked because the silver solder joining the pieces together is below 650 parts per minimum.

Also I am new to silver work – so whilst it might not be perfect, the soldering should be strong enough. x

The solder work is a bit messy on the back – hopefully I’ll improve my soldering!

Swan Song is a story about teenage mental health and the restorative power of nature. Excluded from school, Dylan is forced move to a tiny village in Wales where his grandfather lives. With no Xbox or internet, life is looking pretty bleak, but when Grandad takes Dylan out on his boat to see the whooper swans, things begin to change. Out on the water, free from all the pressure he’s been under, Dylan behinds to feel himself again. But when the swan’s habitat is threatened, and tragedy strikes at home, can Dylan still keep going when it feels like everything is slipping out of control again?
