It’s finally here! The latest installment in the Dark Dates series is published on 11 March (Kindle, with paperback about the same time). You can pre-order here AND get the bargain introductory price of £2.99 (which is a bargain – it’s a chonk of a book!) Pre-orders are great for authors, so if you are […]
