Well…I met with an artist last week and commissioned her to do the cover, I started formatting tonight, and so that means I need to pick a day to let this baby out into the world.

There are things to consider like books are typically released on Tuesdays, I have two friends releasing books this autumn so I don’t want to do the same days as them, allowing enough time to actually get this damn thing formatted, to make sure the artist has plenty of time to do the cover, and on and on.

So, without further ado (and without delaying this thing any longer)–The Bone Cottage will be released on 1 September (barring any sort of nonsense that will delay that).

In celebration…here’s the back of the book blurb (as it stands now…it could still change–but this is one of the first things I wrote when I started this story):

Brambles reach their fingers to snag your muddied skirts along the fox-gloved path.

With its mortar made of marrow and bricks made of dreams, the cottage of bones beckons.

It whispers in the light of day and screams in the night…calling promises to broken dreamers.

The witch that tends the woods watches and waits.

Should the day come when you must call on her, guard your heart and hair lest she weave them into the thatch. 

For wishes and dreams carry a cost, and the witch demands her payment. 

But, beware the auld gods with gnashing teeth and bloody lips who also watch and wait, trapped in the wood beyond the witch. 

The taste of your longing whets their appetite, and your fear is a perfume they dab on their hungry throats.
