FREE AUDIBLE CODES!
I have two downloads available, one UK and one US. All I ask is if you accept one then please consider reviewing.
I have a very humble aim. I am trying to make TWO more Audible sales, to raise the total from 28 to 30 before the end of January if at all possible.
You might even be able to take advantage of Amazon's 30 days free offer!
If you are new to Audible, and want to buy the audiobook, please message me for a code. That way, I get a small bonus at absolutely no extra cost to you, it is entirely at Amazon's discretion. Being transparent here.
Measly sales? Yes. Laughable? Probably, especially to established authors. All I ask is, if horror and dark fiction are your thing, if you like the idea of witches written for grown-ups, then please consider giving it a try.
Hag's Breath: A Collection of Witchcraft and Wickedness is also available on Kindle.

Well, we’re back! Happy New Year everyone!
I have got lots planned in terms of writing this year. Last year was a bit messy in more than one way. I am hoping that 2024 will turn out a little better. Nobody move or breathe!
Some of my writing plans are in genres other than horror and dark fantasy, though I of course have projects underway for that. So how was your New Year? Did you celebrate big time or have a quiet night in? We did the latter and I must be getting old, because I relished every second of it.
Let me know what your plans are for the New Year. Good luck!

Bumper Christmas 2023 Competition Time!
I enjoyed running those Random Giveaways. They were good fun - you are an inventive bunch! I am missing them. Time to run my bumper Christmas competitions I think.
To be in with a chance of winning a mystery bumper prize, simply answer the question: In my short Christmas ghost story 'Silent Night' which ghostly character haunts the pub?
All correct answers will be entered into a draw and two winners will be picked at random. Competition ends Midnight GMT December 15th. If winners do not come forward, runners up will be chosen. In no way associated with Meta. UK ONLY! Good luck!
Hint: A Jester.
'Silent Night' is a short Christmas story featured in 'Wakeful Children: A Collection of Horror and Supernatural Tales.' Available on Amazon and from all good book stores.
