ICYMI 🦴 THE HANGING BONES has a cover now! And I may be biased, but I think it is *stunning*

Until the Scavenge Moon is upon us, and the Breimar Stag walks the Forest. Join the Hunt on May 12, 2026 for your chance to end a man … and hopefully the monster rising from the Forest’s depths won’t get you first.
Also please preorder THE HANGING BONES now, out from FierceReads!

If you’d told me two years ago that friends would send me pictures of a giant stack of my little gothic book beside an equally giant stack of a new Hunger Games book by THE Suzanne Collins in The Strand I’d have disowned you because what?

Book one has been kicked out of the nest and now it’s back to coddling book two.
THE HANGING BONES (2026) is a YA dark fantasy standalone completely separate from WHAT WAKES THE BELLS. But it’s got monsters, spooky settings, magical stags, and a very angry ace girl with vengeance on her mind.

Release day absolutely did not go according to plan but we still managed to salvage it in the best way. It was a day of family and friends, love and pride, and I’m so grateful to everyone who sent a message/text/comment to help me celebrate.

In case you needed another reason to love the WHAT WAKES THE BELLS cover 💜
Little secret about the cover: the character's coat colour and design are meant to hint at the demisexual pride flag - black, white and gray, purple, and a very discreet triangle (pointed down in this case) :) Many thanks to @luguardio.bsky.social for the cool challenge!
