My next book is called The Penmaker's Wife, and it will be out worldwide in paperback, Kindle, and audiobook formats on 1 December 2019. The cover hasn't been finalised yet, but here's a peak at what it's going to look like.
Not a Jefferson Tayte novel.
With seven Jefferson Tayte books now published, I decided it was time to take a break from my genealogy mystery series. With over a million copies sold, the series has been very successful and it was a difficult decision to make, but I felt the need to try something a little different. Does that mean there won't be any more JT books? I hope not. I like to think of it as giving the poor fella a much needed rest after all the scrapes he's been in since the first book in the series, In the Blood, was released back in 2012.
So, what type of book is The Penmaker's Wife? Well, if you've enjoyed the historical narratives in my JT books, or you enjoy historical thrillers in general, then I think you'll enjoy this. I actually started plotting it for a JT book some years ago, but it became too big a story in itself. It's set entirely in the late Victorian era, and my development editor has described it as a fantastically dark and creepy gothic thriller. I hope you'll give it a try.
I'm very excited about it and can't wait to let you know more. The description should be ready soon, and I'll be sure to share it, along with the full cover, when I can.
