January

Scotland is back in a phase of heavily restricted lockdown (same as last March), which means no travel except for emergencies or necessities. So we're currently hunkered down on the farm, which is fine, since the cold weather is setting in. There are several things I

An End of the Year Post

I look forward to seeing the end of this strange and tumultuous and oftentimes painful year. (I am operating under the naive and idealistic hope that 2021 will be gentler with us all) I promised myself that I would not journal about COVID, but it really

December

We are now less than a fortnight from the winter solstice!   Winter solstice is something of a theme on both this blog and my social media because of how the short days impact life and scheduling here in Scotland (and even more with COVID affecting work

Earlier this week, Laura Lam and I got the news that Seven Devils was a Top 5 Sunday Times Bestseller. I did not want to post it here until I saw it with my own eyes. Thank you to everyone who supported our work and got

The SEVEN DEVILS pre-release roundup!

Seven Devils releases this week (August 4 US/August 6 UK), and I'm basically a bundle of nerves right now. But some trade reviews have said some very nice things about it, and so I am sharing them. First up is Library Journal, who gave it a

Seven Devils UK edition

Hello readers! I received these gorgeous final copies of Seven Devils from my UK publisher, Gollancz, out August 6! After working on this book for 5 years, I can't believe how close we are to launch! I hope you're all staying safe and healthy during these
