A year ago, Modern Magic made its way into the world.
Since then, it has found thousands of readers, become an Amazon bestseller, generated a surprising amount of admin (who knew writing required accountants?), gained an audiobook version, and spawned a sequel (more on that below). All in all, it’s been a rather full year. And the fun doesn’t stop there…
Modern Magic audiobook now available!
The audiobook is finally out, produced by Tantor and narrated by the genuinely magical Sarah Kempton.
Hearing characters who have been wandering around in my head for some time suddenly speak out loud has been both surreal and wonderful. Fortunately, they sound far better than they do in my imagination. Or in my actual voice.
So if you’ve been waiting for an audio edition, or simply want an excellent summer listen, it’s now available on Audible, Spotify and other major audiobook retailers. You can find it here: https://rbmediaglobal.com/audiobook/9798318564208/
Sequel news!
The future has arrived!
I’m delighted to share the cover for Trading Futures: A Modern Magic Novel…
You saw it here first!
Returning to the world of the Citadel has been enormous fun. While Modern Magic explored what happens when magic collides with bureaucracy, Trading Futures asks a different question: what if the future could be bought and sold?
As it turns out, the answer involves a werewolf auditor, highly questionable magic, family legacies, and a tomorrow you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy. Depending on how irritating they are.
Here’s the official blurb:
THE FUTURE IS UP FOR SALE. UNSURPRISINGLY, IT LOOKS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
In a Citadel where destinies are traded like stocks, the market is booming. It's never been easier to buy yourself a better tomorrow.
Werewolf auditor Wrexhannah Langstaff knows someone is rigging fortune's wheel, and she has every intention of finding out who. The trail leads straight to one of the Citadel's most powerful families: a trading dynasty built on ambition, secrecy and a dangerously comfortable relationship with fate.
But as the Citadel's flawless futures begin to crack, Wrex discovers that some destinies were never meant to be bought and sold. And when the balance tips too far, Fate starts settling accounts. Personally.
Darkly funny and brilliantly inventive, Trading Futures returns to the world of Modern Magic with higher stakes, sharper teeth, and a tomorrow nobody bargained for.
Watch this space for release updates, but I can guarantee* the book will be arriving before the month is out.
