The Witches of Hogsback is officially haunting bookshop shelves and online stores nationwide. The book transports readers to the atmospheric mountain town of Hogsback in the Eastern Cape. And while I’m all for immersive storytelling, I really wanted to bring the pages to life. So, I wrote a murder mystery game based on the book.

My publisher Lapa, together with Exclusive Books, has arranged a host of events in July for readers to come have some fun and discover for themselves… who killed Stefan Dale.

If you find yourself lost in the deep dark woods… I mean, in a mall… come join the fun!

Sadly, I do not own a time-turner or a broom, and won’t be able to attend every event, but you better believe the ones I’m coming to I’ll be bringing free bookmarks and books. I heard a rumour there’ll be some bewitching snacks available too.
