Reading Time: 17 minutesI’ve been asked so many times recently if I plan to release audiobooks of my cosy Scottish contemporary fantasy series. And if not now, when?

Reading Time: 13 minutes So a reader from Arizona, Suze J-S asked for more chapters of Code Yellow. That wasn’t happening. But I had this scene, much of which is now surplus to requirements.

Reading Time: < 1 minute So unexpectedly, we have a novella. Well, not that unexpectedly because I’m a woman of my word. In the free bonus epilogue to Ties that Bond in Gretna Green I made an offer. You might call it a bribe—but I couldn’t possibly comment. I said if my readers would be kind enough to help me by leaving reviews, then […]

Reading Time: 4 minutes Known as Highland Cows to the sane non-Celtic parts of the world, the coos are having all kinds of fun in the next few books.
