'As the novel reaches its conclusion, the pace gets much faster and my heart was racing as it became clear who the culprit was.
I can’t wait to see how the series continues'

My new Mallory book is out next week. Set in a girls school near Tregaron, West Wales, it weaves in themes of dark academia, all-female societies and characters from the Mabinogion.

The Death Lesson is available from indie bookshops, Waterstones and Amazon.

🎉publication day! 🎉

You can buy This Slavery from us, or even better, you can ask for it at a real-life, tax-paying bookshop from knowledgeable friendly booksellers on real wages ✊

And if you see it out in the wild, living a good life, please send us photos!

A book cover. The text reads ETHEL CARNIE HOLDSWORTH’S THIS SLAVERY, a graphic novel by Scarlett & Sophie Rickard. The full page illustration shows two women standing back to back in a steep terraced street at sunset. The blonde woman holds a violin, the dark haired woman wears a man’s coat. A young man looks at them from an upstairs window on the left, and on the right there is a perky white and brown dog. In the distance the factory chimneys smoke. It’s all very ‘mills & doom’

Like many, @househammerpod.bsky.social were saddened by the untimely passing of John J. Johnston. We always hoped he'd be back on the pod one day. As a small tribute, here's a special Hammer Bites episode, where John and @cevni.bsky.social talk all things Mummy.

RIP John.
