Hi! Will you be putting together a collection of your work anytime soon? I would definitely buy that.
Hi Rabindranauth,
I wish! Lovely of you to say though. One day I hope, if I can con someone into taking it.
All the best,
Priya
I’m going to second the hope that you release a collection of your fine work some day. I must confess I’ve only read a handful of your stories, but I’ve greatly enjoyedthem all. I’d love to make my way through a doorstopper huge volume of all your darkly delicious tales!
Hi Alexandra- I can’t say thank you enough for taking the trouble to get in touch. I am thrilled to bits. I think you’ve just made my year. Am hoping to sort out a collection in the not too distant future.
All the very best
Priya
I agree that you need a short-story collection. I read “The Crow Palace” and would love to read your other work.
Hi Maggie,
Thank you so much for reading it and taking the time to the comment. I DO now have a collection out and “The Crow Palace” is the first story. It’s called “All the Fabulous Beasts” and is published by Undertow Publication.
I hope you find something in it to enjoy if you ever get around to reading it.
All the best,
Priya
