Hello, Dear Readers! A quick update today and the title says it all: The Moonlit Maze is now available to download on Netgalley!
My lovely publisher have made this rather gorgeous video to celebrate this moment:
So if you're a member of the site - or want to be - now is the time to sign up or login to get a digital proof and read away. I hope that you'll really enjoy it and feel moved to say nice things, or anything really, on your reviewing platforms of choice. Reviews do make a massive difference to a book's prospects and the author's chances of getting to write more books - the only thing that's even better is pre-ordering, which is why there's a selection of pre-order links below:
Also, if you're on Netgalley? Give me a thumbs up vote for the cover, would you? Because I think it's gorgeous and not getting the love it deserves at all!
In other news I have hit the landmark of 10,000 words total in the critical commentary of my thesis. Considering that the ideal word count is 20,000 that might sound pretty good - but at least 3,000 words of it are utter nonsense and another 7,000 are questionable. Which isn't ideal. And therefore I am exactly like every other third year PhD student: living in a constant state of low-level panic and distress. Probably a good thing that I don't drink, really.
In other news, I'm incredibly lucky and excited - and also stressed, see above - to be taking up a Royal Literary Fund Fellowship at the University of Lincoln from this week! Very much hoping to bump into superstar Professor Janina Ramirez, the absolute genius behind fave book Femina there, where she is a visiting professor. Professor Ramirez, although I have never met her, is one of the people who inspired me to purse my PhD. I can hardly believe we might be sharing a campus! But mostly hoping to see shedloads of students and help them feel happier and more confident about academic writing (a battle for which I have the most personal empathy).
Wish me luck, lovelies! Download and review the book if you'd like, pre-order if you can, and for right now... sound off in the comments or on Twitter (as always, I promise to respond).
