Yesterday, I finished the manuscript of my new novel coming out 17 November. Preorder link will be in my newsletter https://justmeandering.substack.com/.
I used this delightful scene from the Laguepie Occitan University festival to help me write a medieval ronda dance in the novel. My heroine is a trobairitz (a female troubadour). The contemporary musicians in the video are Los Cazelots. Thank you to them and to the dancers.
Love’s Knife has just been published as a paperback and ebook. It is a medieval murder mystery set in Toulouse at the turn of the 12th century. You can read launch interviews with me about writing it here:

I’m excited to announce that my new novel is on pre-order now and will be published on 2 September.

Today is the 7th birthday of the Book Fairies who annually coordinate acts of literary kindness around the world. Two of my books – one in French and one in English – will be hiding, waiting for you to find them, in the French village of Laguepie 82250 on Sunday 10th March. Clues to their whereabouts will be coming on Sunday morning.
Meanda is a future fiction novella in French, set on a watery exoplanet. (An English version is available in The Water Age and Other Fictions.)
Almodis tells the story of an 11th-century countess of Toulouse and Barcelona. This book is in English.
