Widow's Welcome: the Cardigan vote

On the 29th November 2019 we were fortunate enough to be invited to read from Widow's Welcome at The Cellar Bards in Cardigan. We took all our voting kit so the bards could have their say on the Casker and the Lowlander stories...

And the results are:

Caskers: 50% of the votes

Lowlanders: 50% of the votes

No stones/ballots were ruined

It seems Cardigan is one of the fairest (or is it the most divided?) places to cast the black and white stones so far.

We had a great time reading at The Cellar Bar - it's a wonderful atmosphere and the open mic section was fantastic (with a brand new sound system, no less!) Thanks to all readers and listeners that braved a cold Friday evening. We'll have to come back and see what the Cardigan voters make of the Perlish and Torn stories. If they're not completely sick of elections by then...

Farewell to the Liar Available in Hardback, eBook, and Audio!

We are super excited to announce the final novel in the Tales of Fenest trilogy, Farewell to the Liar , is available now in hardback, eBook, and audio! We're just over the moon with how the series has been received by readers and reviewers. The team at Ad Astra , our imprint at Head of Zeus , have been fantastic throughout the process, and we couldn't be prouder of everything they've helped us achieve with these books. It's been quite the journey, from the start of Cora's story and the opening two election tales in Widow's Welcome , to the revelations of Cora's family and the Perlish and Torn stories in The Stitcher and the Mute . Now, readers can cast their votes on the Rustan and much anticipated Wayward election stories - and finally see how Cora's own tale ends.
