'Mother of God' in Oaths and Offerings

I'm very excited that a new short story, 'Mother of God', will be published in the folklore-inspired anthology from brand new Northern publisher, Carnyx Press. Pre-orders are open now, and will be shipped on the publication date of 4 June.

I'm especially excited as 'Mother of God' took a long time to come to fruition. I've been wanting to write a form of that story for years, but every time I tried, it never quite materialised. I had several abandoned drafts. But then I saw Carnyx Press' call and it turned out a deadline for a folklore anthology was what I needed!

I'm very grateful for an excellent editorial experience with editor Nathaniel Spain, and I'm looking forward to seeing the final thing - as well as reading all the other stories, of course.

And if folklore-inspired short stories are your thing, get ye to Leeds Lit Fest on Saturday 6 June where we'll be reading, signing and discussing.
