Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

I am doing a Kindle price promo on 5 - count 'em - 5 of my books over Valentines. You can get Newcastle set romcom Bridesmaid Blues, the first Dark Dates book, the very dark anti-romance Doll or my collection of stories about misadventures in love, No Love is This, all for 99p!

And since A Vampire in New York and other stories features several of my fav couples - including the hunters Jonesy and Smith, and Medea and Katie - I'm making that 99p only!

Happy Valentines!

Since inflation is making everything seem super expensive, I've made both Bridesmaid Blues and Blood Burns only 99p on Kindle for a limited time. Get your cheap reads in!

For the romantics among you, my Newcastle set romcom is only 99p on Kindle throughout February. But because I also recognise loads of people hate Valentines, my decidedly non-romantic books Doll and No Love is This are also 99p all month. Treat yourself!

It's officially spooky season so to celebrate I am making Blood Burns 99p on Kindle all October. And because not everyone likes spooky, Bridesmaid Blues will also be 99p!

Enjoy!

Since some fun some reading is in order, for a limited time my Newcastle-set romcom The Bridesmaid Blues is only 99p on Kindle!
Happy reading!

If you are a book blogger / bookstagrammer / reviewer and would like a copy of Blood Burns (or any of my other books!) to review, do get in touch.

(Hard copies: UK only, sorry, but epub available elsewhere)

It's probably a sign of just how derailed I have been by the pandemic that I haven't actually posted on here about my new book, Blood Burns, being out.

Those who have waited patiently for this - the latest installment of the Dark Dates books - will know that it's been overdue for a while, so will also understand that while I considered delaying it until things got back to 'normal', in the end I decided to publish and be damned - in part because, hey, normal doesn't look like it'll be coming back any time soon.

But putting a book out in a pandemic is a very strange experience - especially if you don't have a big publisher's marketing department behind you to give you a bit of a push.

My friends of course were utterly delightful and supportive, and dutifully made a pleasant fuss. It's long been a standing joke that I milk my birthday for attention, so you can imagine my delight at discovering that book birthdays also get you a splendid haul of gifts! (Or, at least, pandemic book birthdays do, when none of your mates can take you out for celebratory cocktails).

But without anything like a physical celebration or launch, it has felt weirdly anti-climatic - especially when doing online promo at a time when the world already feels cluttered and noisy, and many of those voices talking about things that are far more important than my little book launch.

I also recognise, though, how lucky I am to be able to have gone ahead at all. One of my sidelines is theatre writing, and it's been heartbreaking to see so many theatre creatives struggle, with hopes raised and crushed on an almost weekly basis, as rules change, funding stutters, and projects that have been months or even years in the making are cancelled at the last minute, sometimes indefinitely.

So consider this an 'I see you' to anyone out there trying to make or create at a time when there are so many other demands on our energy and feels like it's an uphill struggle, and one that happens, unnoticed, in a vacuum and the dark. (And I don't just mean professionally: I mean if you are trying to do art projects for your kids, or cook for your family, or crochet a blanket, or any of the other million small ways people try to make the world a bit more interesting).

Keep going! It's worth it. And is probably more noticed than you think.

See you on the other side.

So, the latest in the Cassandra Bick / Dark Dates series is finally (almost) here!

For those who want to give the series a try, convert their friends or refresh their memories, I'm running a limited time Kindle promotion where Dark Dates, Angel Falls and a Vampire in New York and Other Stories are only 99p.

For the rest of February I am offering a price promo, with 4 - yes, 4! - of my books available for a mere 99p on Kindle.

These are Northern romcom The Bridesmaid Blues
