A Jolly Good Time at the Holly King Launch!
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.
The Holly King is out TODAY
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!
Damian Dibben and a Feast for the Senses
It’s not often we get authors on the podcast who get around to sorting their own merchandise, and it’s definitely a first when we get someone who has their own tie-in furniture and art! Damian Dibben is an extraordinary mix of author, screenwriter, actor and artist and he discusses it all in this week’s podcast.
Another first for this week’s pod is that Mr D has made a declaration to finish his non-fiction debut in 12 months’ time! I have genuinely no idea what it’s going to be, but that date is in the diary and I’ll be nudging him every week about it.
And in the extended version for our podcast supporters we discuss writing the senses and I offer all sorts of tips on writing sight, sound, taste, smell, touch and more. If you want to support the podcast and get access to hundreds of hours of extra material, you can do so by clicking here.
The Title of the next Witches of Woodville novel is…
A very Happy New Year to you all! And I begin 2023 with some splendid news. I’ve delivered the fourth Witches of Woodville book to his agent. It will be published on 14th September 2023, and therefore someone at the publisher has pushed the big red “Pre-Order” button (every publisher has one, and it’s usually locked away in the basement) and thusly it is now available to, well, pre-order at many of your favourite retailers (some take longer than others to pull their finger out when it comes to pre-orders… Yes, we’re looking at you, Audible).
So without any further ado, I can exclusively reveal the title and blurb for the next Witches of Woodville book is…

THE HOLLY KING
The Holly King is coming, and you’re on his list . . .
You are cordially invited to the FEAST OF FOOLS.
A YULETIDE celebration in the village of WOODVILLE.
Your host is THE HOLLY KING, benevolent demigod and newly-restored RULER of the woodland realm.
Confront your fears and banish darkness at our Saturnalian Revels, with food and drink aplenty for all you lusty guts. Join your neighbours, Dead-Eyed Fairies and a Woodwose, all overseen for one night only by the Lord of Misrule.
STRICTLY NO WITCHES ALLOWED.
Have you been Naughty or Nice?
RSVP, regardless.
As Christmas looms, the villagers come under the spell of the Holly King, a demigod bent on destroying Woodville. Faye, Bertie and the witches are determined to stop him, but first they must confront terrible truths that threaten to tear them apart.
Golly, that does sound thrilling, doesn’t it! The Holly King will be available in paperback, eBook and audiobook on 14th September 2023, and you will find all the current live pre-order links here: https://witchesofwoodville.com/#thehollyking
