And to give you just a hint…
“Helen put a couple of tea bags into a pot and then spooned coffee into a cafetière. ‘You like to fix things. You like to help.’
Those weren’t questions, but I answered her anyway. ‘If I can.’
She waited for the kettle to boil, looking thoughtful, not looking at me. She made the coffee and the tea and brought them both over to the table. I took a seat as she fetched milk from the fridge and mugs from the dishwasher. She sat in the chair across the table and filled a mug for us both.
‘Do you have hobs where you live?’
I didn’t think she was talking about kitchen appliances, but I wasn’t sure of much beyond that. ‘By which you mean…?’
‘Brownies, pixies, they have a lot of different names. Earth spirits inclined to take a fancy to human hearths and homes.’ She took a sip of coffee. ‘Around here they call themselves hobs.’
‘I know what you mean,’ I said cautiously, ‘but I’ve never met one.’
The book is now in production and we plan to publish in early September. As soon as the date is fixed, we’ll spread the word. Pre-orders will be possible soon, and there’ll be more details coming to whet your appetites…
Can’t wait! Great cover. Loved the first two books. Couldn’t put either down! Congrats and don’t be afraid to make the series a quartet. 😉
Righty ho, duly noted 🙂
And isn’t it a fabulous cover?!
oooo yeah
It is a wonderful piece of art , isn’t it? And that raised finger is inspired. While this cover continues the series theme, that adds an extra something to make this more than a variation on a theme, if that makes sense?
