Tomorrow my horror novel ‘The Bone Queen’ is officially out in the world. Grateful for the early readers who’ve embraced it already. More tomorrow 🖤
Prepping for publication day: talking horror, fear, and obsession in The Bone Queen. Link to full interview in bio.
This has made my day 😀 Thanks Amber K! #thebonequeen @minotaurbooks.bsky.social
Why anyone would go to a tourist trap island on the off season, especially one haunted by a vengeful entity called THE BONE QUEEN, is beyond me. But I'm not the protagonist of @willshindler.bsky.social's new novel. And my daughter isn't missing.
A runaway daughter. A traumatised mother. An ancient and terrifying legend. ‘The Bone Queen’ is out in seven days time…
It’s PLR Statement Day - every time someone borrows a book from their local library the author earns a few pence. A big thank you to everyone who borrowed one of mine in 2025 - it’s much appreciated!

Just finished @willshindler.bsky.social novel “The Bone Queen” and it was SO good! Great murder mystery with so many twists and turns. Loved it and highly recommended reading. Reminds me a little of Stephen King (who I have read since I was a kid).
That’s genuinely lovely to read - thank you so much for sharing. It’s hugely appreciated - so glad you enjoyed it!
