Behold these extraordinarily beautiful books!

These are my author copies of Winterbourne, and I want to thank Black & White Publishing for giving it such a ravishing cover - I love it!

Get a free ticket for the launch of Winterbourne at Edinburgh Bookshop, Thursday.

'Haunting, ominous and astonishingly dark. A mesmerising triumph.'

It’s hardly any time at all until Winterbourne is published on the 22nd January.

Pre-order before the 22nd - and if you message me with a copy or picture of your receipt, plus your UK address, I’ll send you a pack of exclusive Winterbourne swag. (UK only.)

A perfect winter's day with brilliant sunshine made today's research trip to Whitelee Windfarm, just south of Glasgow, an absolute pleasure.

(Yes, a wind farm will be featuring in the current gothic WIP!)

The first reader reviews for Winterbourne are starting to trickle in - a very nerve-racking time for an author!

But so far, so good!

The scene I'm currently writing is set here, and nothing could be more gothic than this!

1. Books are easy to wrap.
2. Books don’t need batteries.
3. Books don’t hurt when you step on them in the middle of the night.
4. Books never come in the wrong color or size.
5. Books never need ironing.
6. Books don’t need to be assembled before being given.

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
I just want a book to read

I just want one for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true oh
All I want’s a book bought by you.

I’m so excited that I’ll be launching Winterbourne at the brilliant Edinburgh Bookshop on 22nd January. I’ll be chatting all things gothic, Winterbourne and writing with my fabulous agent Jenny Brown.

It’s a free event, but you need to grab a ticket - www.edinburghbookshop.com/events-1/eli...

With Winterbourne all set to go, I'm working on my next gothic novel...

Will it be creepy?

What do you think?

Meet the author...

I swear I can hear a deathwatch beetle somewhere in my woodwork, and now I'm going to have to include them in my next book...

Coming in January and available for pre-order now, #Winterbourne is my first gothic novel.

Inside a grand library lies an unspeakable secret...

Huge thanks to Black & White Publishing who are bringing this into the world!

It's coming soon. The final proofs of Winterbourne are here.

Modern gothic with all the classic tropes.
