Sequels on the way....

Good news everyone!

I am most of the way through the sequel to the Other Side of the Mirror, which is hopefully coming out later this year with Rookery Press.

I'm also planning a sequel to cosy witchy ghosty Overdues and Occultism and a YA spin off in the same world. 2021 is apparently the year of the sequel. Keep an eye on this page to stay updated.
