ghosts among the gumtrees kickstarter announcement

I’ve made myself a promise—and I’m following through on it.

I’m running a Kickstarter for the next book in my Seka Torlak historical crime series. Not because it’s easy (it’s not), but because it pushes me to grow, to back myself, and to connect directly with readers who actually care about these stories.

So… Book 2, Ghosts Among the Gumtrees, launches on Kickstarter on 1 December. 🎉
I’ve just opened the pre-launch page, and it would mean the world if you clicked “Notify me on launch.”

This isn’t just about selling books.
It’s about building an audience, step by step.
It’s about carving out new opportunities that traditional publishing never handed me.
It’s about finding readers who want survivor-centred historical fiction, who value the truth behind the stories, who want to walk with Seka through the aftermath of war and witness her fight for justice.

I’m hoping each Kickstarter brings in new readers, new conversations, and new doors opening—and if it grows slowly, steadily, beautifully over the years, that’s exactly the kind of career I want.

If you’ve supported me before: thank you. Truly.
If you’re new here: welcome.
