Free story downloads

Fancy a peek at the world of Beaufort Scales? Or are you curious as to what cats get up to when your back's turned (spoiler alert: all the things)? You can find out all these things by signing up to the newsletter at the bottom of the page and receiving two free short story collections.

Discover the very first Beaufort story, the risks of mixing mulled wine and dog costumes, and the needs of very small muggers in The Tales of Beaufort Scales, or dive into the world of cats who may or not be cats, but who are most definitely up to something in The Cat Did It – yours to keep!

Signing up also means you'll receive regular updates (usually about one per month, although there will be a couple more around new releases) on bookish happenings and writerly mishaps, giveaways, discount codes, and various other random goodies that will likely only occur to me closer to the time ...

You can, of course, unsubscribe at any time via the links in every newsletter.

No dragons were harmed in the making of these emails. Someone may have been bitten by a cat, though. It happens.

Already on the mailing list, but missed out on the story collections? Go ahead and sign up again. You'll be able to grab the stories from the welcome email, and won’t be double subscribed to the newsletter – as long as the mailing list robots are behaving and nothing’s got gummed up with cat hair. But any problems just let me know by replying to any email.

Happy reading, lovely people!
