Release day for my new folk horror novel Hearthstone Cottage passed by in a blur!
The dawn sky provided a suitably spooky herald of the day ahead.
Social media lit up in a Halloween-orange glow of publicity with f(r)iends, family, and other readers sharing their congratulations & photos of their copies of the book. My thanks to you all!
Hearthstone Cottage even crept up on the horror fantasy radar…
When I finally returned home to dusky Lee Cottage, I found a big box of books waiting for me.
My author copies had arrived! I particularly enjoyed getting my talons on the hardcover edition (my first hardcover title, to date, and hopefully not the last).
Cheers to all of you for making it such a fun launch day!
I will be posting details of an upcoming blog tour very soon.
Until then, i hope you will pick up a copy of Hearthstone Cottage. And when you do, I hope it gives you nightmares.
