Spring has come early!
‘Spring in the City’ is out now from Ruadán Books – an anthology of tales set in the spring and themed around what lurks beneath the veneer of normalcy in real cities around the world. It features my story ‘Chester’ which is a take on the local urban legend of ‘Belinda’ from my own childhood.
Ruadán are also donating 50% of profits on any of their books sold between November 1–December 23, 2025 to the Greater Boston Food Bank, with CEO R.B. Wood personally matching the donation too. This includes ‘Spring in the City’!
In other good news, Lulu are now running their last sale of the year, with 20% off all print titles with code BOOKSALE20 until midnight December 5th, so if you missed their last sale but are still after one of my books in print, you can still get a good discount.
If e-books are more your speed, then I’m also pleased to share that Smashwords have just upped their royalties for e-books, so if you’d like any of mine, please buy them from Smashwords and consider doing the same for other titles, to support your local indie author!
Finally, in case you missed it, I have a little literary road trip story out now in this month’s issue of The Razor and it’s completely free to read or listen to online!
