Why should you read my adult gothic fantasy, Echoes of the EtherStone? Well, if: 🗡️ You enjoy true crime (esp an interest in the Jack the Ripper murders) 🏮 You love a Victorian inspired aesthetic 🥀 As well as gothic vibes (think themes of madness & feminine oppression in a dark/dreary setting)

Found a copy of this Jack the Ripper 3DS game in a second hand shop and it felt very on brand given my latest book soooo… yeah, here we are. 🗡️

Some news about my dark fantasy series, THE COMMUNE’S CURSE. You may know that I published my debut book (and first in the series) AWAKENING back in 2022 via a small press. I then self-published the second book, THE MAD MAN’S HOPE in 2024.

I took inspiration from the articles written after the Jack the Ripper m*rders to write these for my gothic fantasy book, Echoes of the EtherStone. Do you like articles in your books?? I really feel they add something to the story as a reader—these and letters, too. #gothichorror #gothicfantasy

Cannot wait to read this! Thanks to my lovely friend Lydia for sending it to me, it is absolutely what I’m in the mood for reading right now. Take from that what you will 😂❤️ #gothicvibes #gothicvictorian #gothichistorical #gothicbooks #gothicreads #gothic #amreading #truecrime #BookSky

Being a writer brings with it a lot of insecurities and doubts. But sometimes I look at the books I’ve put out in the world and I really do feel proud of what I’ve achieved so far. And there is much more to come!

Echoes of the EtherStone is a low fantasy gothic horror story about a city stalked by a vicious k*ller and the two young women determined to unmask him, no matter the cost. Out now in paperback & ebook (which is just 99p / 99c on any platform for October). #gothicfantasy #gothichorror

Just a reminder that By the Pact not only has a new cover (along with the rest of the series), but it's still free. If you like stories of friendship that never wavers, powerful magic, cunning demons, and conniving politics, check it out! Available in all online stores: bf.authorjm.com/ByTh...

If you buy a copy of Echoes of the EtherStone from my Ko-Fi shop, you will receive one of these lovingly made bracelets because I think they’re cute 😂👀 Oh and of course a character art card! ko-fi.com/s/6cf282727d #gothichorror #gothicbooks #gothicfantasy #darkfantasy #gothicvibes #BookSky

We’ve got fantasy, horror, gothic, thriller… too many good books, too little time! Who wants to inherit? 📚 #tbrpile #readerlife #fantasyreader #gothicreader #gothicbooks #fantasybooks #tbr #readerforlife #BookSky
