Celebrating the 2nd birthday of Dark Woods, Deep Water and sharing the blurb, for those of you who might be interested 🖤

It's two years since my debut novel, Dark Woods, Deep Water was published, and one year since my novella, Ghost Apparent came out. When you're an indie author, you don't stop to celebrate, because you're always chasing new goals. But I think these books deserve to be celebrated.

Soon, The Night Ship is touching down, and I need your help. As an editor, the task below the bottom of the list is always promoting my own work, even though it means so very much to me. So if you think you'd like to review this, or blurb it, or heck, catapult a copy at your enemies? Hit me up.
