Update: Cover coming This week

Cover release, and eBook and print book preorder links out this week. Earlier than planned but why wait? Order now, you may well get the print book before 1 Sept.

The cover looks BRILLIANT. For reasons, I use two printers and I have to tweak it on one of them, but it really does the story justice.

Please share the cover and order links wherever you can. I need help getting the book out – simple and free actions – as much or little as you like.

Loving early reviews.

“…a high-spirited and thoroughly enjoyable novel that effortlessly draws one into its charmingly crooked world.

This novel is a magnificent blend of historical mystery, thrilling adventure, captivating fantasy, and heartwarming romance all rolled into one. Regardless of your usual literary preferences, I thoroughly recommend ‘The Crooked Medium’s Guide to Murder.’ It’s a truly engaging read that promises to charm and excite.”

Oliver Dowson, author of the Repurposed Spy series.

Or, from my favourite Texan reviewer, Suanne Schafer of the Midwest Book Review (forthcoming)

The setting and time are well-researched, and the voice is wholly Victorian and delightfully understated and wry. The Crooked Medium’s Guide to Murder is a great ghost story with multiple twists and turns along the way, the investigation of multiple murders old and new. A fun read.

Or, I recently got a rejection from an agent, who’d sat on it for four months. But personal feedback is extremely rare, half of the agents and publishers don’t even send a form response.

I think your premise is a highly inventive, intriguing one. The characterisation of Mrs Ashton in particular is brilliant, and the pace of the action great. Your experience as a writer and commitment to your craft shows on every page.

THIS OFFER HAS NO CATCH.

Free eBook available to subscribers of the newsletter (I need your email if you are not a subscriber!) I’d love you to review it but that’s up to you and I won’t chase.

A C.17th man wearing a contraption which allows him to print as he walks - like wearing a desk - with various implements hanging from him. Obviously satire.
