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. Buy your copy today on Hive , Bookshop.org , Amazon , Foyles, or Waterstones

The Stitcher and the Mute in Paperback!

We are beyond excited to share this new design for the paperback release of The Stitcher and the Mute, available from 10th June! This is the second book in the Tales of Fenest trilogy, which sees Detective Cora Gorderheim swept up in events far beyond the streets of Fenest. But don't worry, she still has time to hear the election stories from the Perlish and the Torn. The team at Head of Zeus have done a wonderful job of capturing those two very different realms on this paperback cover. We'd like to thank Nina Elstad especially for her amazing artwork. We can't wait to share more of Nina's work on the trilogy, so watch this space! You can pre-order The Stitcher and the Mute paperback here (also available in eBook and Audio): Bookshop.org Head of Zeus Waterstones

Widow's Welcome: Launch

It's finally here! Widow's Welcome is out in the world. The real world, with real readers. And we were lucky enough to see some of them at the launch for the book at Penarth Pier Pavilion, in our home town of Cardiff. We were just amazed by how many people came out to support us and the book. We had friends come from as far afield as York, Oxford, and Aberystwyth, as well as a good crowd of locals. It was great to see a big 'ole pile of hardbacks, courtesy of Pernarth's fantastic indie bookshop, Griffin Books - a massive thank you to Mel and her hard-working team. We also risked a bit of audience participation on the night (thanks to Lucy Corbett for the great pic of the voting table). As well as doing a bit of call-and-response, which led to 100+ people saying "The Audience is listening", we got everyone to exercise their democratic right to vote. We each read the start of the election stories that feature in Widow's Welcome...
