I’ve included my speech which sums up my feelings quite well, you’ll just have to forgive the fact I was almost sobbing while saying it!🙈

But again thank you so much for all the readers and your unending support for this book. ❤️

I won a British Fantasy Award!!

Sooo this happened! Yesterday I was awarded the British Fantasy Award for Best Newcomer for Voyage of the Damned.

I know everyone says this but I really didn’t expect to win! I’ve always maintained I don’t write the type of books that win awards but apparently I do?

Just look at this amazing art by sara_parrenyo (IG) of a certain scene from Voyage of the Damned! I just adore the level of detail and also the look 👀 a certain someone is giving our sequin-clad hero.

Thank you Parallel Journeys for commissioning this for your VOTD bookclub! I’m in love. 😭🐟💙

Sorry to single out one Voyage review but it’s comments like these that really remind me what this is all about. This is why I will continue to write fat characters forever ever EVER. ❤️

(Yup the MC of my next book—The Bone Door—is chubby too!)

This one sentence pitch for Voyage of the Damned legitimately came to me in a dream.

Some people have angels or lost loved ones visit them in dreams and I have…this.

Hi! 👋 Intro post!

I’m Frances White and my debut novel, Voyage of the Damned, came out this year. It’s best described as Magical Gay Murder Mystery Cruise!

I also dabble in cosplay, and I am soon to be cat mother to two kittens and I will be more than happy to spam photos if there is demand!
