MAGIC MOST FOUL sequel, DARKER STILL excerpts!

Hello friends! Well, as you may or may not know, DARKER STILL: A Novel of Magic Most Foul is the first in the Magic Most Foul trilogy.  The powers that be have conviened and agreed upon a title for the sequel. May I present to you:

THE TWISTED TRAGEDY OF MISS NATALIE STEWART

A sequel of Magic Most Foul. In which our hero, Jonathon Whitby, Lord Denbury and our Heroine, Miss Natalie Stewart, escape black magic only to find more perils on trains, travel, in nightmares and at the doorstep of the Master's Society, the shadowy organization behind Denbury's curse and creepy experimentation upon the living and the dead. 11/12 from Sourcebooks Fire, cover forthcoming. Huzzah! Come Valentine's day I'll be sharing some teasers via WAITING FOR FAIRIES, so stay tuned.

 Curious about DARKER STILL? Maybe you've seen it in stores but you're not sure? Well, watch this 10 minute video of my reading from the book to see if it captures your interest. I certainly hope it does!

Stay tuned for news, forthcoming interviews, appearances, excerpts, giveaways and more! I'll also soon be starting my monthly feature on The Apocalypsies young adult debut crew! Cheers!
