This month my guests seem to mostly have murder on their minds. Well it is spooky season after all. I didn't ask for spooky or murdery books it just kind of went that way.

My guest this month is Jas Phoenix. Her debut novel Berkano has been recently published by Tepris Press.

My two most recent books, Letters from Shadow Oaks and A Carousel for Shade Tree, are both contemporary fictions. They don’t include any magic or fantasy elements.

When I last interviewed you in 2023 you had published three books, now it’s six. Can you update me on your books? Since 2023, I’ve written my Lightbody Mystery duology, telling the story of the fictional Martha Lightbody, a woman subjected to ‘trial by drowning’ in 1645. Before being thrown in the lake, Martha curses the men responsible. Her body is never found.

The book is filled with beautiful illustrations, fact pages and a quiz for readers aged 8 upwards.
