Step 3: If you are not already signed up for this newsletter (ie, a lovely friend who knows your tastes has forwarded you this post) then you will be asked to do that - then you get the book!

TWO MORE DAYS to grab it, folks! After that, it goes out for give-me-money sale to those people who--while readers and therefore probably good folks--are not wise enough to sign up for That Healey Girl and the bonuses therein.

Trojan Women Arc on Kindle Unlimited

Yup, both Ask Cassandra and Love, Laodice are now available on Amazon for direct sale or KU reading, and I'm finalising the paperbacks (which will be available widely) as we speak!

This Olympus Inc. arc is more romantic suspense than the Olympian Arc. Murder! Corruption! Banter! (always banter, I cannot be stopped.)

What I'm Into Right Now:

Okay, look, I realise it is probably Bad Marketing to say "hey, check out My Thing I Made" and then immediately follow it with a list of Things I Like That You Might Also, thus potentially dividing your attention economy, but you know what? We're all fascinating multi-faceted beings. We contain multitudes. Even in the grossest timeline, we can like more than one thing.

  • Shadows in the Smoke. Do you like Victorian gothic horror/fantasy/mystery? Do you like weirdo misfits fighting supernatural crime and forming a family as their backstories are deliciously revealed? Do you still mourn the loss of Penny Dreadful? Then you are likely to enjoy Shadows in the Smoke, an actual play podcast, aka, amazing improvised storytelling with the occasional dice roll. Kim Dalton is a brilliant storyteller with an excellent grasp on the historical and cultural material. The players are great (and all have distinct voices). It's tightly edited and incredibly atmospheric. I had to stop listening to an episode while I walked by the river on a foggy evening because it was genuinely too spooky. This is a recommendation.
  • Nosferatu (1922). I went to a movie (2025 Bingo Square)! For the first time in nearly three years, I sat in a cinema and watched the moving pictures. (They moved a lot. That whole cinematic world is incredibly alive–only the people seem odd and stilted.) Soundtracked by Moider Mother, Christchurch band, who did an incredible soundscape performance that really amped up the creep factor.
  • Apples. It's autumn! Apple season is ON, and I am HERE for it. What's your favourite? I'm a big fan of Ambrosia for snacking and Granny Smith for baking, but I will never say no to a SweeTango (a Honeycrisp/Zestar natural cross).
