Had an amazing night launching The Holly King at Waterstones Canterburytonight. A huge thank you to everyone who came, to Claire for the cakes, Emilyfor the photos, and Merlin and Katie (aka Raven) for looking so amazing and for their incredible gift of a Holly King staff. And thanks of course to Martin and the gang at Waterstones! Still buzzing.
As if I haven’t been banging on enough about this, but… THE HOLLY KING is out today!
Here’s a whole bunch of links on the Witches of Woodville website. Click on the order button and you should see a whole plethora of retailers pop up. Depending on your browser and device you might need to scroll down a wee bit.
Of course if you want a signed paperback you can get that from me here.
And in the last few minutes it’s been launched on Kindle in the USA and Canada.
A huge thank you to everyone who’s read it and shared my social media posts or left a review or rating. These things really do make a difference.
Right… better get back to writing book five!
I’ve got stock of The Holly King paperback in the building nice and early, so if you want an early copy of the latest Witches of Woodville adventure then click here. I can even sign and dedicated it too, and I’ll also throw in a free bookmark! Be the envy of your friends with a hot off the presses copy of The Holly King weeks before publication!
Imagine my surprise today when I realised that there’s only one month until The Holly King is published… Not sure I’ve ever been so unprepared for a book’s publication, and that’s down to a busy summer scrabbling around to earn a bit of cash to keep the wolf the from door etc.
So yes, there will be a launch at the splendid Waterstones in Canterbury on Tuesday 26th September, 6:30pm and tickets are now available (up till recently the buy button had been missing!). The ticket will also give you money off the book if purchased in the store on the night and students get in for free. There will also be cakes, strange woodland creatures and an abundance of antlers. Please feel free to arrive in your own Yule costume. I’ll be reading an extract from the book and I’ll be happy to answer questions and yes there will probably an online stream of this, but I haven’t quite set it up yet (see above, re: wolves and doors).
Oh, and if you can’t make it, but would like a signed copy then you can order that directly from me here. Also, there’s no embargo on this book, so I’ll be despatching these beauties as soon as I get them in stock… which will be soon… before the end of the month soon. Just saying…
Oh, and I can confirm that Candida Gubbins has recorded her narration for the audiobook edition and it’s magnificent. There’s a new character called Pearl and Candida’s voice for her is perfection. You’re in for a treat. The audiobook is available from your preferred audiobook provider now!
I should have news on a US ebook edition soon, but until then happy reading!
Once again, Mr Harry Goldhawk has done us proud with the cover art for THE HOLLY KING…
I love it. It’s a little different to the previous Witches of Woodville books, but without straying too far from the established style. I won’t say much more about it (other than to say that’s not Faye with the sword), but would love to know what you think.
