My latest novel, soon to be on sub, is the first thing I've written where I feel like it's okay to say, "it's a really fun read." It's still dark as hell, yes—of course. But if and when it comes out, you're going to have a damn good time reading it. I promise.

Thank you again for doing this! My third folk horror novel, SCRATCH MOSS, which is a standalone read but in the same universe as WITHERED HILL and SCUTTLER'S COVE, is released in the US on September 1 after garnering some great reviews since its UK release in March. www.canelo.co/books/scratc...
