I love this creepy update to the look of the Red Eye horror series and it’s great to have the Frozen Charlotte dolls featured on the cover. Speaking of Frozen Charlottes, my editor sent me a photo of one of the ones they’ve been using to torment book buyers with recently.

Is there anything worse than creepy dolls? *Shudders*

Frozen Charlotte Cover

Here is the gorgeous front cover for Frozen Charlotte.

I’m so chuffed with this - especially since it has some actual Frozen Charlotte dolls on the cover - and what’s not to love about tiny bloody handprints all over the wall?

Frozen Charlotte

We’re waiting for you to come and play . . .
Sophie doesn’t believe in ghosts - that is, until her best friend, Jay, downloads a ouija board app on his phone.
Joking around, Jay asks it, “When will I die?”
The board tells him, “tonight”.
So when Sophie finds out that Jay has been killed, she knows his death was more than a tragic accident. Sophie’s quest to discover the truth takes her to a remote Scottish island and a family with secrets to hide. And if she can’t unravel the mystery soon, Jay won’t be the only person who meets an early grave . . .

Due for ebook release in July 2014 and paperback release in September 2014 as part of the new Red Eye YA horror series from Stripes Publishing. If you’re the kind of keen bean who pre-orders books, you can do so here.

And be sure to check out the fantastically disturbing cover for Lou Morgan’s Red Eye book, Sleepless, over on her blog.

Frozen Charlotte

Frozen Charlotte

This creepy thing is a Frozen Charlotte doll - and the inspiration behind my new YA horror novel, published later this year by Stripes Publishing. You can read the official announcement about their cool new Red Eye series here. I’m really pleased to be included in this launch because I loved reading Point Horror novels when I was a teenager - and when I re-read some of them to get in the mood, I found that I still enjoyed them as an adult.

The book will be called Frozen Charlotte and is scheduled for paperback release this September. It may cause nightmares. I don’t think it’s disturbing enough to make anyone have a nervous breakdown, but I guess it depends on how sensitive you are to that kind of thing. So, you know, if you’re at all worried about it then maybe read it with a friend or something. Better safe than sorry, after all.

I’ve also had a short story accepted for Constable and Robinson’s upcoming alternate history anthology - Tales from the Vatican Vaults (due for publication next year sometime) - in which the real truth behind various historical events is finally revealed after a lengthy Catholic Church cover-up. My contribution is about Jack the Ripper. It is quite nasty. So is Frozen Charlotte. In fact, people might try to suggest that this sort of fiction must be the product of a deranged mind - but I promise I’m still all there in the head and everything. There is no cause for alarm. And I’d prefer not to wear the straightjacket, if it’s all the same.
