Just a quick update to let you know you can now purchase The Island Scaregrounds far and wide! Yes, that means Kobo, Apple Books, Barnes and Noble and a variety of online booksy type places. You can also buy signed copies in the local book shops and stores on Weirdbey Island if you live nearby!

And in further news, J. Scott Bennett, who did an amazing job of narrating The Pirates of Penn Cove and The Day of the Jackalope, has just finished recording The Island Scaregrounds. I just had the good fortune to experience it first hand as I proof-listened to the story, and it’s his best narration yet! I can’t wait for you to hear it and I’ll update this blog and Facebook page once it’s available.

And as if that’s not enough, I have a new book coming which I’m hoping to publish this autumn. It’s a collection of my short stories gathered up in one spooky anthology. I don’t have an exact date for publication because I’m still working on it and hoping to include a new story. More on that soon!
Until then, happy reading!
