The Werewolf has landed! Thrilled to see my book starting to appear in the hands of the many patrons who backed it and made it happen via @unbounders.bsky.social. The book itself appears in bookshops on the 19th of December - why not order a copy for Christmas?
Wonderful. Arrived today and already been sat on by a wet cat, with the clear message, "I ain't afraid of no werewolf."
