Queendom Come in Invermere
Hello Invermere! Queendom Come and the rest of the Frean Chronicles series is now sitting pretty on the shelves of your gorgeous library, be sure to say hi next time you’re in town!
Podcast
Welcome to my Author Nook, a monthly podcast I created where I chat with authors about their literary brain children, and bibliophiles about their niche areas of obsession. Find it on Spotify here, and Youtube here.
As you know, I release episodes once a month with no set date so the best way to stay in the loop is to follow and subscribe on either Youtube or Spotify. Also, if you want to read ahead, next month we’re chatting with Kim Wilkins, the author of a series that helped define my teenage self.

The Gina Champion Mysteries – specifically Bloodlace by Kim Wilkins
This month I have the privilege to sit with an old co-worker and chat about the story with the greatest twist in literary history.
So pull up a comfy seat, pour a cuppa tea, and settle in as we chat about The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the dual nature within us all, and why this story still strikes a cord even hundreds of years later.
We ended up chatting much longer than my episode length allowed so if you’re hungry for more, have a look at the follow up episode where you will learn about who created the cover of John Kay Press’s edition and how, the real-life figures who inspired Stevenson’s character of Jekyll and Hyde, some (in)famous Edinburgh ghost/zombie stories, and updates of what’s coming next with John Kay Press!
Ash Caton is an Edinburgh-based writer and host of the literary podcast and YouTube channel, Ear Read This.
John Kay Press and John Kay Bookshop can be found on their Instagram, here.
Captain’s Log
Spring has Sprung
in Vancouver at least…
Was so fortunate to see the blooming daffodils, tulips, and stunning cherry blossoms on a recent trip to Vancouver.
And don’t worry, I said hi to our girl in the wetsuit ❤
Fun fact about Girl in Wetsuit, is she is an homage to the statue in Copenhagen of The Little Mermaid which I was fortunate enough to visit in 2022.
Review Corner
Reviews are so helpful in getting word of Contest of Queens, Queen’s Catacombs , and Queendom Come out there. If you have time, and if you’ve read the book, I would be eternally grateful if you could leave a star rating and/or a written review on Goodreads or Amazon.
Thank you to all the wonderful people who have left a star rating or review!
