Hey up!
Welcome to a week with Plumtree, Elkie, Future Fire and competition updates. Let’s start with all the things that intersect with my publisher Fox Spirit [External Link], for theming purposes.
The lovely Auntie Fox (Adele Wearing) and her feral team have been going ebook independent, which mean they’re selling ebooks direct, so anyone who has objections to Amazon can purchase without compromising themselves. They’re working through the catalogue so not everything is available, yet, but Elkie has made it! I’ve updated the published announcements for each of them but here are the direct links for the trilogy to you an extra click:
- 25 Ways To Kill A Werewolf [External Link]
- A Pack Of Lies [External Link]
- Fool If You Think It’s Over [External Link]
Fool isn’t available as an ebook on Amazon (yet) so if you’re after an electronic fix of that one, you need to go straight to Auntie Fox!
For those who like hardcopies, I will be giving away two complete sets of the trilogy. These are “old” in that they don’t have my M-for-Mysterious rebrand on them (nor do the ebooks, because that redo will come later this year) but they are still deserving of an adoptive home. After a clever suggestion from Amber Fox, this will involve asking for your suggestions on how to kill werewolves – with one competition on Facebook and one on Twitter. I will be starting them Sunday (3rd) to run until end of Saturday (9th), to post things outh a fortnight today (13th). They will be UK & Europe only because of postage issues. Sorry to anyone further away.
Competitions are on topic because The Future Fire [External Link] is also running a competition for people to win a copy of HayleyStone’s weird west novel, Make Me No Grave. It involves commenting with some micro-fiction or poetry on the related blog post [External Link] but you can also play around on Twiter getting your micro-fiction right, if you so wish. You can find your way onto the relevant Twitter thread from here:

And on to Plumtree, currently the most visible of my projects. Non-Patreon-backers can read the prologue, first passage, second passage and epilogue and can get to them from the index page here: [External Link]. Backers will be getting passage 5 on Monday – after I’ve written it.
I’ll save updates on other projects for another week, when I may otherwise have less to tell you. See you soon!
