'And He Shall Appear' has appeared! I was utterly gripped (and unsettled) by this gorgeous book. It had this delicious, slow burn, ghostly rising dread & kept me guessing to the end. It's out now - and it's awesome.
Now out in the UK 👻

It's launch day!!! Thanks so much to @ZaffreBooks and @kellyyrosee15 for letting me go on this strange and murderous journey full of death, suspiciously cheap artisanal gifts and dubious festive knitwear 🎅🔪💀🎉 https://t.co/25nkGbwU4J

I’m so excited to finally talk about this! I’m absolutely thrilled that @inkroadbooks have picked up my 1980s Dracula retelling! I’ve wanted to write this for even longer than the Mina books and I can’t wait for people to read it.
We can finally announce that we are working with @YAundermyskin to publish her new YA thriller, They Own the Night! A Dracula retelling set in 1980s Edinburgh 🩸 Out October 2025! #theyownthenight

Do all writers know early on that writing is their calling? We asked new #RLF Education Fellows what they wanted to be when they were growing up. If you're a writer, did you always know you wanted to write?✍️ (@mikebmann @RebeccaTantony @DIBrownAuthor @suzannahevans @cgcorcoran)
