Today’s the day! Death Sets Sail is OFFICIALLY out now – and it’s been amazing and overwhelming and just wonderful to see it reaching fans. It’s so special to hear from you about why you love the series and what it’s meant to you over the years. So if you’ve sent me a message or email, thank you so much!

Because it’s publication day, I’m sharing a video of me reading from the first chapter of Death Sets Sail. But beware … the first chapter contains the first SPOILER! So watch … if you dare!
