Aurealis Awards 2024
I was so delighted to become a finalist in the 2024 Aurealis Awards for Best Fantasy novel with The She-Wolf of Baker Street! These Australian SFFH awards are highly regarded, and it was exciting to be listed among such awesome writers!
Congratulations to the winner of the category, Alexandra Almond, for Thoroughly Disenchanted – one of many new books now added to my reading wishlist!
Thank you again to the Aurealis convenors, to my editor Wendy C. Fries and my publisher, Clan Destine Press, for helping to bring this book to life!
New book! Tales of the Minstrel Tongue
Tales of the Minstrel Tongue is my lateste mini-book, containing 4 short stories from the world of Kitty & Cadaver, where a band uses ‘the minstrel tongue’ (the gift of wielding magic through music) to fight evil.
The four stories are:
- “Hoorfrost” (minstrels joining forces in 13thC London to end an unnatural winter)
- “Stitch and Witch” (yarn crafters trapping a demon)
- “The Blue Hour” (a muso returning home to right an accidental wrong)
- “The Harp’s Voice” about a girl & her raven (a prequel to what is meant to be the second book in the Kittyverse).
Find it in ebook or paperback via the Books2Read link at: https://books2read.com/u/3kkWKO
Or get the ebook at my Ko-Fi store: https://ko-fi.com/s/a71878795a
I’ll be adding the paperback to Ko-Fi as soon as I’ve worked out those logistics!
