The trade paperback for THE WITCH ROADS is out in the wild now! Maybe hiking through the hills with El and the haunt, for all I know.

Here’s the Macmillan page with multiple links to various outlets (the indie site Bookshop is having a free shipping day today, June 23 only).

In case you were wondering, while I will read books in any format, I prefer

1. trade paperback

2. hardcover OR ebook (depending on the book and my mood)

3. audiobook — to clarify, I think audiobooks are great, but I personally don’t process audio text well although I can listen to podcasts, baseball games, and oral storytelling without problem. Just not people reading text, no matter how great they are (and there are many excellent narrators out there). I’m also not a good aural learner, as it were. In college, I had to take notes to retain what I was hearing, not because I necessarily re-read the notes except for test prep but because the act of writing it down was what fixed it in my memory.

In pre-order news, BARNES AND NOBLE is having one of their occasional pre-order sales June 23 - 26. This one is timed to coincide with Amazon’s big “Prime Day” sale.

I have two books you can pre-order at the 25% off with code PREORDER25 price:

The trade paperback of THE NAMELESS LAND (August 24, 2026)

and

THE FLOWER COURT, coming January 12, 2027 (soon!), an adjacent Witch Roads universe novel (a standalone with different main characters, same setting). You can also pre-order the ebook if that is your preference!

The audiobook (the great Ella Lynch is back!) is also available for pre-order at the sale price.
