Dark Matter and Thin Air – I want more books!
Pamela Writes…

Hi,

I’ve recently read both Dark Matter and Thin Air and I am devastated you don’t have any more books along these lines. I genuinely don’t want to read anything else.

I absolutely loved everything about them: you’re writing style, the plot, the story telling, the atmosphere, the characters and all of the spooky parts were amazing.

I’m begging you to write more books like these. They’re beautiful.

I bought both on my Kindle but I loved them so much I’ll be buying the physical copies.

That’s it. I just wanted to beg you to write more books. Thank you for both of these books.

Michelle Replies…

Dear Pamela, what a brilliant message to receive, thank you!  (And I find it particularly encouraging, as I’m writing while fighting off a nasty cold.)   In fact you won’t have too long to wait, as my new novel, RAINFOREST, comes out in early October.  In the meantime, you might like my Gothic novel WAKENHYRST, which came out a few years ago.  Many fans of DARK MATTER and THIN AIR have told me they enjoyed it – so maybe you will too!  Thanks again for getting in touch.  With very best wishes, Michelle

Yeovil Literary Festival

An experience like no other. From a writer like no other...

Successfully published as an adult author, the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness (“Wolf Brother”) were her first books for younger readers, followed by her brilliant 5-part series set in the bronze age, Gods and Warriors. On the adult side, her first ghost story, Dark Matter, was a UK bestseller and won massive praise from reviewers and readers alike, as did her second ghost story, Thin Air.
