It’s now nearly the end of July and we’re recently back from a two-week trip to Pembrokeshire. While the rest of the UK was basking (or should that be wilting?) in the heatwave, the far south-west of Wales was a manageable 18-20 degrees Celsius. In fact, some days on the coast were so breezy we had to wrap up! It was great to catch up with some of Steve’s family and to explore this stunning part of Britain.
Book 9 in the Tom Raven series launched on 30 June 2025. Thank you to everyone who has already bought it or borrowed it on Kindle Unlimited. It’s been getting some great reviews – again, thank you so much! We’re so grateful to everyone who continues to read and review our books.
If you haven’t yet got your copy of A Dying Echo, it’s available in Kindle, paperback, and audiobook formats here.
Margarita has just finished the first draft of The Raven’s Call – the tenth and final book in the Tom Raven series. It was quite emotional, getting to the end! Steve is now following through with the second draft, which he already started before we went away. He’s scheduled to finish the second draft by the end of August. Then we’ll both edit and polish the manuscript before it goes off to our audiobook narrator, Dan Calley.
This final chapter in Raven’s story will be released on 30 November 2025 in Kindle, paperback, and audio formats. The Kindle is available to pre-order here.
You may be wondering what Margarita is doing now that she’s finished the first draft of The Raven’s Call. The answer is not sitting in the garden with a good book!
I work closely with our German translator, Sabrina, to ensure the translations are ready for publication. The seventh Bridget Hart book (Toll for the Dead) will be published in German as Totengeläut in August. And the first three Tom Raven books are now available for pre-order in German.
