Thank you! I didn't know it wasn't available on Kindle in Canada - I'll have to ask my publisher about that. 🤷‍♀️

I think 'gal' is used here in the UK

Winterbourne by Elisabeth Wolf: spine-tingling and claustrophobic intensity – book review – A remote, wind and rain-battered island off the west coast of Scotland, a vast Victorian house with a magnificent library full of priceless first editions… and a young librarian eager to take a job fa...

"Playing a devilishly clever game of gothic trickery, Wolf delves tantalisingly into the territory of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca and Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey..."

I'm thrilled by this lovely review 😊

A perfect winter's day with brilliant sunshine made today's research trip to Whitelee Windfarm, just south of Glasgow, an absolute pleasure.

(Yes, a wind farm will be featuring in the current gothic WIP!)

It seems like the week that goes on forever...

Thank you 😊

A list of reader comments over a faded picture of a grand house

The first reader reviews for Winterbourne are starting to trickle in - a very nerve-racking time for an author!

But so far, so good!

The scene I'm currently writing is set here, and nothing could be more gothic than this!

1. Books are easy to wrap.
2. Books don’t need batteries.
3. Books don’t hurt when you step on them in the middle of the night.
4. Books never come in the wrong color or size.
5. Books never need ironing.
6. Books don’t need to be assembled before being given.

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
I just want a book to read

I just want one for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true oh
All I want’s a book bought by you.

With Winterbourne all set to go, I'm working on my next gothic novel...

Will it be creepy?
