My forthcoming title

[Julie]

I'd like to let Aussie Readers know that my new novel A Haunting at Venus Bay is forthcoming from Headline/Hachette on 8 January 2025 in trade paperback, ebook and audiobook. Set on Victoria's rugged coastline at Venus Bay, it's the story of two women decades apart and the danger that brings them together.

ARCs are currently available on netgalley.co.uk, should you be interested and I do love advance reviews! It's a little departure for me; still a dual-timeline story but is it a psychological thriller or a ghost story? I'll let readers decide.

Thankyou both! I know it will be in BigW in January. Not sure where else. And ebook and audiobook of course.

Gorgeous cover, Julie! I've got a backlog but if it's still on NetGalley when I've cleared it out I'll request. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Krystal, I think it will be there for a while because the UK print edition doesn't release until July. Hope you get to it.
