Your Latest London Dispatch (April 2025)

Deadline edition.

I am writing to you from a pretty monstrous deadline as I push to get the first draft of my 2026 historical novel edited before I hand it over to my editor. That means most of what my brain wants right now is to spend 12 hours a day reading any books that were not written by me. It also means I don’t have a huge amount of brain power left for writing Substack articles.

Go figure.

Leaning into that, I figured I would keep this month’s Your Latest London Dispatch short, sweet, and full of books.

Book News

A Dark and Deadly Journey (Evelyne Redfern #3)

I am so ridiculously happy to say that I have just handed in proofread pages of the third Evelyne Redfern mystery, A Dark and Deadly Journey! I finished them up this afternoon, and I think you’re going to love this installment of the series, which sees Evelyne and David sent off to Lisbon in search of a missing informant with vital information that could shift the balance of World War 2.

A Dark and Deadly Journey comes out on September 23rd, but you can preorder it now!

Books I Want to Read

Okay, as I said up at the top, all I want to do right now is sit down and read my way through the many books on my bedside table and on my iPad. I figured I’d show you just a few as well as some upcoming releases I can’t wait to read!

What are you looking forward to reading this spring?
