I’m halfway through writing Mama’s Gone, the fourth and final book in the Lagotti Family series and my mind is turning to what I’m going to do next. First there is the no small matter of marketing Powder, which is out on November 19 and then Mama’s Gone will be released March 2019. The second …
Now that Powder has got through the editing phase, it is now in pre-order at Amazon due to go live on November 19. But I’m giving a select few the opportunity to read it before anyone else has the chance. I will send a free copy to anyone who volunteers to leave a review on …
