Yarnsworld sale, and a new folktale to… unlock?!
I currently have a small sale going on – the ebook of They Mostly Come Out At Night is FREE on Amazon stores worldwide at the moment, and Where the Waters Turn Black is reduced to 99c/99p in the US/UK.
I know you probably have your own copy already, but now would be an ideal time to push the series to any family/friends who have yet to take the plunge…
What will be of more interest to you will be the NEW FOLKTALE that is currently being unlocked over on Twitter!

And They Were Never Heard From Again is out!
With no further delay, here is that cover I promised to show you:
Amazing, right?!
And They Were Never Heard From Again was a tale originally published in the Lost Lore anthology just over a year ago. It remains one of the Yarnsworld tales I’m proudest of, and for a while I’ve been wanting to give it a proper cover.
The story is FREE on Amazon, and the plan is to remain so permanently, to serve as a no-risk gateway for new readers of the series.
If you have not read the story yet, GRAB IT NO...

A great fantasy read, a tragic real-life tale…
I want to talk to you about a guy called Brandon Barr. You may have heard about him. Brandon is a USA Today bestselling fantasy author. Brandon is a husband, and father to three boys.
Brandon is dying.
That’s a pretty bitter pill to swallow, and I’m truly sorry to darken your day with this news, but there is a slight silver lining to this terrible story.
Despite his health issues, Brandon has worked hard to complete a new fantasy series, to provide for his family after he is gone. He succeede...

‘Shadows’ has been my best launch yet!
I just wanted to give a short ‘thank you’ to everyone reading this.
From the Shadows of the Owl Queen’s Court has easily been my best ever launch, both from a sales perspective, and from the reviews the book has garnered so far.
Here are a few words people shared about Shadows that really made me blush:
‘Take heed, all ye edgy writers of fantasy and fairy tales: This is how you write a dark story without a whiff of gratuitous violence!’ – Filip at Booknest.eu
