“Hanging at Crosbhothar” Preorders and Release Date

Preorders for the standalone rerelease of Hanging at Crosbhothar are now live on Amazon!

Cover by Rachel Bowdler

Corpses hung from the ancient maple like leaves…

Brutal. Valiant. Monstrous. Heroic. Folk say many things about Eoghan One-Ear, but Knight-Mother Arlise Dun has seen for herself what the rebel-turned-bandit leaves in his wake: butchered innocents and burned-out villages.

After half a decade of faithful service with the Order of Watchers, Arlise knows all the faces of evil, and she knows this evil is more than a man. The distinct whiff of demonic influence surrounds these atrocities. Yet no demon seems to dwell inside the man himself.

If she’s to uncover the bandit lord’s true nature and deliver justice for those lynched at Crosbhothar, Arlise will need to contend with a carnomancer, a band of fanatical reavers, and her own thirst for vengeance.

Refined for release as a standalone novelette, Hanging at Crosbhothar is a dark heroic fantasy tale of approximately 10,000 words.

Hanging at Crosbhothar will be out on Halloween, October 31st!

Now, the Halloween release date is for the Kindle. Because this novelette has been published before, I can’t set a scheduled release for the paperback edition. I’ll have to launch it manually, and it could be a few days after I click the button before it’s available. Nevertheless, paperbacks should be available within the first week of November.

If the cover or blurb has caught your attention, you can preorder Hanging at Crosbhothar right here:

I’m really happy with how the new standalones have turned out. Hopefully you will be, too!
