Hello from Wales, friends!
It’s been a cold start to the year, so I’ve taken advantage of the weather by cozying in and getting down to business.
Last week, The Wolf and the Favour went on tour and garnered some fabulous reviews. Among my favourite comments were: ‘A modern-day fairy tale’ and ‘One of the things I liked about this book is that it reminded me of classic children’s literature and for me had tones of Alan Garner.’

I’m hoping to receive my author copies soon, so signed copies should be shipping soon, as promised.
The week ahead gets off to a busy start with an appearance at this year’s TBR Con, organized by the wonderful FanFiAddict crew. The topic I’m guest panelling is ‘The Role of Place and Atmosphere in Horror,’ so mark your calendars, folks, as I’d love to see you there!
If you can’t make the live show, you’ll be able to catch up via the YouTube channel.
Full details, including a vast array of topics, here:

P.S. If you have any questions you would like to ask the guests, I’m sure time will be allocated for doing so.
In other news this week, I added a chapter to the novel, wrote a short story for an upcoming submission call, posted two book reviews, and provided beta feedback for a friend, so yes, I’ve been a busy bee.
Wishing you all a great week ahead, and please do your best to support TBR Con if possible.
Hwyl fawr (goodbye) for now,
Catherine McCarthy
I love The Wolf and the Favour, not surprised it got lots of love while on tour! Good luck next week at TBRCon!
Hi Catherine! That would explain why I’ve seen so many wonderful reviews for your Wolfy tale lately, as it’s been ‘on tour!’ How marvellous! It deserves so much praise, I still think about the story many months later! And feel slightly awkward about my silly review of it because it just ‘got me’ and I ‘got it’ (if you know what I mean) to the point I just felt speechless! 🫣 Exciting to hear of another chapter being added to your WIP too, I wait with bated breath for your new words to get into my eyeballs 👀 Have a great (rest of) the weekend - Lisa x
