It's been a while coming, so why not do it in October: the spookiest month of all? I'm overjoyed to reveal that the Tragic Silence series has been relaunched with brand new cover artworks, interior formatting, and a video trailer! I've been working on this secretly behind the scenes since spring, and I'm so happy to finally reveal them! Scroll down to see the four new covers (click on each one for more info) and to watch the new trailer, featuring The Unquiet Grave by the immensely-talented Arianna Deligianni. Fun fact: the moon on each cover is in a different phase to represent the chronological order of the series, beginning with a crescent in Sepia and Silver and gradually growing to full in Darkest Dreams. Special thanks to all the book bloggers, authors, readers and bookstagrammers who assisted in the cover reveals today, and to Arianna for kindly allowing use of her music in the trailer. To celebrate, you can get Sepia and Silver FREE in e-book for a limited time! Click here to grab your copy!

I'm very happy to announce that this winter, I'll be teaming up with the Swedish Sami charity Adopt a Reindeer Foundation. Commencing with the release of The Night River on December 19th, 10% of royalties from the sale of every book in The Foxfires Trilogy will be donated to the Foundation - this includes all pre-orders of The Night River e-book. Adopt a Reindeer Foundation is a small nonprofit organisation which endeavours to keep the livelihood of the indigenous Sami people alive in Sweden. For thousands of years, the Sami have lived alongside reindeer in the Scandinavian Arctic, but like many indigenous peoples, have unfortunately faced issues which endanger their way of life. As a fantasy, The Foxfires Trilogy doesn't represent any people or culture in particular - to create the Northlands, I took inspiration from the Sami, Inuits, Nenets and ancient Finns, as well as various Finnish, Norse and Inuit mythologies. But my own lifelong respect for the Sami and the times I've spent living in Sapmi (Lapland) meant their culture particularly influenced the story, and I'm happy to be able to use my writing to give back. By supporting Adopt a Reindeer Foundation, either directly or by purchasing The Foxfires Trilogy from official Amazon channels, you will be:
