Here’s the recording of last night’s Corn bride spoiler special, though in the end we didn’t end up talking much about the book, and more about what might happen next…

Join me for the Corn Bride Spoiler Special
Join me this TUESDAY 13th MAY at 8PM BST for a spoiler special chat about my most recent Witches of Woodville novel THE CORN BRIDE.
You can ask me directly any questions you have about the ending and… the future of the Witches of Woodville series. Is it really the end for Faye, the witches and the villagers? Find out on the night.
A few things to note…
This will be a Zoom event, meaning that you can chat with me (or holler/hurl abuse etc) directly.
A few of you have got in touch to say that you couldn’t make it on the night but you had questions. So, with that in mind…
- I’ll record it and will share it with subscribers of this blog.
- If you have a question that you want to send in advance, simply pop it in the comments below, or message me here, and I will do my darndest to answer it.
But it would still be great if you could come on the night as it promises to be lively!

A Corn Bride Thank You
Thanks to all those readers who helped make the publication day of The Corn Bride so amazing!🌽👰 And would you be up for a spoiler livestream? Let me know below in the comments…
The Corn Bride is Out Now!
The fifth Witches of Woodville novel is out today! And it’s already getting a great reaction from readers…
“A fantastic read, bringing back friends and foes of the last five books, mixing the usual comedic asides of the residents of Woodville with smatterings of folk horror and nail-biting thrills as Mark Stay takes his characters on their toughest journey yet… I loved every page of it!” Fantasy Book Nerd
“I am absolutely loving this series… puts me in mind of Tiffany Aching joining Dad’s Army, it’s wonderfully old fashioned and is full of warmth and humour. Although it does get dark in places.” Chrys, Goodreads
“I love the mix of humour with horror-tinged folklore elements that gives the story a strangely cosy feel despite, you know, the evil magic-wielding Nazi.” Sam, Goodreads
It’s available in paperback, ebook and audio today and you’ll find links to all the retailers here…
And for Kindle readers in the USA and Canada, you can find it here…
And if you wanted a signed and dedicated paperback copy, you can get that from me here…
A huge thank you to everyone who has pre-ordered the book and for everyone who has spread the word on social media. It makes all the difference and I hope The Corn Bride lives up to your expectations. I had a wonderful time writing it… Happy Reading!
The Corn Bride in all Her Glory
I know it’s considered unlucky to to see the bride’s dress before her big day, but I couldn’t resist. I particularly love the budgie on the spine… Artwork by the amazing Harry Goldhawk.

You can pre-order The Corn Bride at any book retailer in paperback, ebook and audio. Or you can pre-order a signed and dedicated paperback from me…
The Corn Bride Cover Reveal
I’m delighted to be able to reveal Harry Goldhawk’s magnificent cover art for the fifth Witches of Woodville novel The Corn Bride…
This is darker and, frankly, more terrifying than any of the previous covers. A reflection of the contents? Well, the only way you’re going to find out is by pre-ordering the book. The Corn Bride is published in the UK on 13th March, 2025.
And if you want a signed and dedicated paperback, you can pre-order that here…
