Hello, Insiders.
David here.
Okay, cards on the table, I messed up. I thought I could smash out the next Spectral Detective book before Christmas, but it turns out I was a madman.
It’s going to take at least another month to get this thing in shape, so if you’ve pre-ordered the next instalment of the Fletcher saga, I’m sorry, you’ll have to wait a wee bit longer to get your hands on it.
If it makes you feel any better, blame Matt for some reason. I know it makes me feel better. Oh, and I have something else that might take the edge off: an exclusive, hot-off-the-presses preview of the brand new book cover, just for you…

Real purdy, ain’t she?
There they are, the Fletcher boys, facing off against who knows what? Probably some sort of Dread Spectre, that’s what I reckon, but what do I know? I’m just a humble, handsome keyboard jockey, pecking out words in the hope that a story takes shape and I finally make my millions. As soon as that happens—as soon as it’s all on the page, singing and dancing—then you can get a read of it and find out exactly whose feathers Jake and Frank have ruffled this time.
Until then, why don’t you dip into our library and see if there are any holes in your collection that need plugging?
