2017 with a Side Order of Dog

This month’s playlist was inspired by the discovery of a secret tomb beneath a London church, which features in a short story I wrote for members of the Thirteen Club.

The Cursed Bones of Sergeant Boom! features Simeon Fable, the ghost who writes a regular column in my newsletter, and his ex-husband as they unravel the mystery of the resurrection of a boisterous corgi.

With their friends, Cecilia (a moonlighting vampire) and Pride (an unassuming god) they uncover an unregistered necromancer and his witch sidekick misbehaving in London, a plot to kill a king, and an ancient vampire with a grudge.

If you haven’t already, you can join the club using the form in the side bar (scroll down for the purple form if you’re on mobile).

You’ll also receive the prequel novella for my series, Not the Same River. Navigate to the Books or Not the Same River sections in the menu above for more information on the series.

Happy listening!

A Gothic Christmas

I’ve had this one in my earholes for two weeks straight, which is weird, because the usual Christmas songs have often driven me bonkers by now.

This playlist has all the folky witchy vibes, is packed with atmosphere, and is the perfect backdrop for running out into the snow to fling yourself dramatically into the powder.

I would advise against that, though. Frostbite is no fun.

The Villains Have Entered the Chat

I’m a bit late getting this one to you. With NaNoWriMo keeping me busy throughout November, I’ve been a little slack.

To make up for it, this playlist is a lot longer than October’s. My December playlist will be coming on Friday 16th, so stay tuned!

See what I did there? Yeah, I’ll see myself out.
