Exciting news!

I am out of editing hell. The Prudential Light is at the proofreaders and is up for pre-order.

I’m so excited by this. It was a challenging book, with two historical timelines. Lots of birthdays to keep in my head and historical research to undertake.

I’d like to thank readers who have encouraged me to write more Cry Havoc stories, particularly Louise who was a 100% champion of Aunt Prudence and is now urging me to write a story featuring Milly.

However, next off the bat will be Gentleman Magician, a Cry Havoc novel. This will take place after Edward inherits Willow Park and his journey of becoming a magician, him and Heaton meeting Fulton and saving his life. Again I’m hoping this will be a novella, but The Prudential Light was meant to be one and became a novel. Also, I’d like to write The Lady and the Magician, which will be Wilbur and Elinor’s story, Jemima’s parents and late Regency/early Victorian setting. Eep! Definitely a novella, but (rolls eyes) who knows. The there will be a Cry Havoc Book Five as I’m getting some hindbrain ideas happening there.

Blurb

Aunt Prudence Wainwright, famously daunting dragon lady of the Hardcastle family, has set herself to writing her memoirs. There will be plenty in these pages to astonish her relations: adventures, abandonment, heartbreak, secret loves and dangers and the family’s magical gifts running through her veins. But with new children, marriage proposals, battles with rogue magicians, and the very past she is recalling bursting back into her life in startling ways, how will she ever find the time to finish them!
