I sold out of THE CROW FOLK at last weekend’s ren Faire, but it’s now back in stock in my store. Get signed copies here… witchesofwoodville.com/the-village-...
Thought your players battled valiantly and kept fighting right to the end 👏
That was an interesting read. Thank you.
Ha ha! I thought maybe there was a big light switch that burned the sun off at the end of the day :)
So there is! Love it :)
Oooh, that is a stunner! ❤️

Part 3 of Healing Hearts on Thistledown Lane is out in ebook today and features more of Edinburgh's ghosts. Here's Fraser introducing his storytelling night at the castle.

I am not a massive fan of the smell, either.
I got bitten directly underneath one of those bracelets. Have now gone back to Skin So Soft in a desperate attempt to deter the buggers.

Return to Half Moon Farm is only 99p in the Kindle Sale for a few days.
If you fancy escaping to idyllic Kent then this might be for you.

Ha! If you've read The Cursed Writer this will resonate

It is insanely good. I think people take it for granted but it is such a massive undertaking and they smash it out of the park.

The man has never had a thought he kept to himself 😭
