BUT NOT TOO BOLD has been out in the world for six months! This book has went further than I ever expected, and I'm grateful for everyone who has read it, talked about it and spread the word, both in the original Brazilian Portuguese and the translated English edition 🕷🗝

Just got the copy edits for CABARET IN FLAMES, and I managed to make a mistake thanking the copy editors... literally proving why copy editors are essential
Print of an edited text saying "have my gratitude, as well as the copy editors". "well" and "as" have been corrected and replaced by "do"

Happy to share that Tordotcom (US) and Titan Books (UK) will publish my novella CABARET IN FLAMES next year (as well as two standalone novels)! I'm excited to introduce Ariadne and Quaint, and the world of flesh-eating creatures they live in.

You can already pre-order it: linktr.ee/hachepueyo

Here are some pretty images of the houses I used as an inspiration for the Capricious House:

Once again trusted sources tell me you must keep posting about your book, so here's the first page of BUT NOT TOO BOLD, a short novella involving mystery, monster romance, and many, many spiders.

Here's the link to buy or read a longer excerpt: linktr.ee/hachepueyo
First page of BUT NOT TOO BOLD: The old keeper of the keys was dead, but no one heard her muffled scream, her crushed bones, or the iron keys that fell on the floor, clinking and clanking. In fact, they only knew she was gone when a note arrived to the second floor, delivered by the empty elevator: HIRE A NEW KEEPER OF THE KEYS; URGENT; BEFORE DAWN.

A curiosity about my novella BUT NOT TOO BOLD (coming out February 2025 with Tor) is that it's a self-translation originally published in Brazilian Portuguese by Dame Blanche, meaning it has two lovely covers, as you can see below 🕷️🗝️
