Tell Me About the Blood Spatter

Sat, 22 Mar 2025 12:58:10 +0000

They stride over the broken paving of the sidewalk, stepping over tree roots and potholes. Susman trips over the nub of a tree stump, and De Villiers catches her hand without thinking. She regains her balance and snatches it back.

“Sorry,” he says. She thanks him in an annoyed way and plunges her hands back into her pockets and they keep walking.

Pigeons, pecking at the stale breadcrumbs near an overflowing rubbish bin, look up at them and scatter. Cars dodge and overtake, and aggressive drivers lean on their horns. Robin can taste the carbon monoxide in the air. Farm air is not without its stink, but she’d take compost and sheep dung over exhaust fumes any day.

“Nice to get some fresh air,” jokes Devil.

Susman smiles at him, the sun’s glare reflecting off the traffic and making her eyes water. “Tell me about the blood spatter.”

New Audiobook: The Dusk Reapers

Tue, 05 Nov 2024 17:13:25 +0000

We’ve had a tumultuous time here at JT HQ.

Great news *and* tragic news keeps rolling in, one thing after another. Suffice to say I’m behind on every deadline in my planner and need physio for my neck, yoga for my body, and wine for my soul. Or something like that.

I’ll keep the sad news on the down low, but here’s one bit of happy news: not only is the Cursebreaker ebook box set topping its genre charts on Amazon (we got five million page reads last month. Five MILLION!) but book one is now available in audio.

You can order it from my website now, or wait for it to become available on the other retailers in the next couple of weeks.

I’m still finishing the Blair Butler series, but will start to write urban fantasy again once it’s done. Let me know if you think that’s a good idea!

As always, thank you for your support, sales, reads, listens and reviews. You are the only reason I get to live my dream career.

May the force be with you

Thank you to the ever-generous author Joanna Penn for sharing her knowledge of this tool. It’s going to save me hours in putting together story bibles for my upcoming series.
