Hi everyone!
You may have noticed there was no August blog. Apologies for that. I was holding out for some exciting news and needed to be ready!
Today, I have revealed details of my next book: The Shoe Creeper
In The Shoe Creeper – a MG Horror with adventure and heart – a boy seeking control of his complicated life must uncover the link between his unwell grandmother and a fairy-tale monster that kidnaps children.
Full blurb:
Have you ever seen a random shoe on the side of the road?
Halloween is approaching, and in the seaside town of Seaton, Devon, Ethan Halston’s life is changing. His parents are arguing, his gran is losing her memory, and his best friend has a secret.
Things begin to spiral when a child is nearly kidnapped. Has a monstrous shoe creeper come to town, and does Ethan’s gran know more than she’s letting on?
The Shoe Creeper will be released in paperback and ebook (Kindle and Kindle Unlimited) formats on Thursday 25th September 2025 (in time for Halloween)
Kindle pre-orders are available NOW here!
Wider distribution will follow, and another format is in development. More on that soon!
I’m really excited to be sharing this news at last. This story definitely holds a special place in my heart, and I hope you’ll love it. I’ll be sharing behind the scenes info and insights over the coming weeks on my social media channels, so keep watch!
To help make the launch a success, it would be great if you could please consider:
- Spreading the word/reposting on social media
- Pre-ordering (if Kindle is your thing)

Other than being very busy getting ready for The Shoe Creeper, I also attended some more craft markets last month. I met some lovely readers and had some great chats. Thank you to everyone who comes to say hi, and to all who have started their Fyn Carter journey – I hope you enjoy!
Speaking of Fyn Carter, the first book in the series has been selected by Amazon as a UK Kindle Monthly deal! This means Fyn Carter and the Agents of Eromlos ebook is 99p for all of September! Exciting times!
I will leave it there for now. Thank you so much for reading, and please spread the word about The Shoe Creeper.
