As you probably know, I’ve had a terrible 5 months healthwise, but this absolute gem has been ticking over in the background helping to keep me going. And today is launch day!

Huge thanks to Jendia Gammon and Gareth Powell for bringing this beauty to fruition.

Today is publication day! My short story is out in this cracking anthology, along with some of my favourite fellow writers including Helen Glynn Jones and Adrian Tchaikovsky.

Our local auction house just snuck this into their Christmas auction to raise money for a local youth charity and I genuinely spat out my coffee when I saw it in the catalogue this morning…

I’m a huge fan of Breaking the Glass Slipper & have been begging to be on their podcasts since my 1st novel came out in 2020.
It finally happenedπŸ’–
We recorded our Romance in the Paranormal special & had a total blast. I’ll let you know when it drops!

Thank you! It was a ridiculous amount of fun and I invited everyone back for a BBQ and literally everyone came. Fortunately some of them also brought extra food so it worked really well! I needed to raise the dead the next morning!

Grave Suspicions (The Lavington Windsor Mysteries #3), by Alice James We review Grave Suspicions, the third book on the Lavington Windsor Mysteries, written by Alice James

Our favourite necromancer is back and confused! Toni Windsor returns in Grave Suspicions, the third book by @toniwindsor.bsky.social, and published by @solarisbooks.bsky.social, a really enjoyable novel. Those are my thoughts on it:
