Exciting news from Fraser Towers. The novel formerly known as Book Two has a) a title b) a publication date (in the UK – US date to be announced) and c) A COVER.
It’s LIVE on Goodreads and also on Amazon if you want to pre-order – which you can also do elsewhere, as listed on the S&S website.

Or of course from your local bookshop.
I wrote this (or most of it) during Lockdown in 2020 and it went off to S&S in September 2021, so it feels like it’s taken a long time to get to this point, which is more about scheduling than anything editorial, although I did have to cut (gasp!) 30k words.
2020 was a strange old year (wasn't it though) and there seemed to be literally no reason to stop writing it. (After all, I write mostly to entertain myself, and I had a lot of free time while we were confined to the house.) Thirty thousand words is a lot to cut but I went at it with my best red pen muttering to myself about authors who can't control themselves.
Anyway, I'm delighted to be able to invite you to buy yourself a copy, even if it won’t arrive until the autumn.
I will have further announcements for my lovely US readers shortly. 🥰
