NEWS & EVENTS
Look Both Ways, a collection of short stories, to be released on December 30th
“Look both ways” is one of the first pieces of advice we learn about living . . . but, as the stories in Alice’s latest book remind us, if you want to pursue your dreams, sooner or later, you have to take your chances and step into the road.
For her “collected stories,” Alice has brought together 20 of her favorites from over the course of her career, spanning from “Chrissy on Earth” about a teenage alcoholic and the title story “Look Both Ways,” to “What Comes to Hand Must Be Faced,” about sudden loss and life’s end.
The ebook edition may be preordered from Amazon and will be released on December 30th, when the paperback will also become available for sale.
Summer’s End, the fourth Ellie Kent mystery, is now available for pre-order
American Ellie Kent has been looking forward to Little Beecham’s traditional climax to the summer, when her husband Graham and the Beecham Morris will perform an 11th-century horn dance in the woods by the light of the full moon. Never could she have imagined the disaster ahead or the role she will play in solving the mystery that results. As she struggles to understand what happened and why, she is drawn deeply into the problems of people whose lives have been shaped — and threatened — by even more ancient laws and prejudices. It’s not the way she hoped her first year in England would end, but it does show her the progress she has made from foreign “incomer” to one of a family and a valued part of her village. This book, now available for pre-order as an ebook, will be released on October 30, 2026. A paperback edition will also be available at that time.
