We’re looking to move house soon so we’ve been doing a massive clear out and look what I found! The three novels I wrote BEFORE The Wolf Road was published and then the first draft of The Wolf Road when it still had my original (terrible) title and I was dabbling with adding a K to my name 😂

One printed manuscript with the title Thunderhead

Good news klaxon!! I am utterly thrilled that THE RUSH has been longlisted for the Historical Dagger and (appropriately 😉) the KAA Gold Dagger. I am bouncing around my office failing to act cool about it. TWO DAGGERS!! 🗡️ 🗡️ The Rush is also out in paperback next week 🥳

Such an engrossing read from @bethlewis.bsky.social Loved that the 3 main characters are based on real women who were part of the Canadian Gold Rush. Highly recommend it!

UNBOUND AUTHORS: I’m speaking to a solicitor about our fine mess. If you have ANY correspondence with the company (beyond the “Dear Author” letters we all got) in 2024 about nonpayment or about the company’s financial stability, could I see it? I’m opening my DMs for this (don’t make me regret that)

Beth Lewis @bethlewis.bsky.social · 31/05/2025

To be clear, I left Unbound 5 years ago. I was there for two short years and in that time there were 3 rounds of redundancies. They have had problems for a long time and are absolute c*nts for not fixing it sooner.

Beth Lewis @bethlewis.bsky.social · 31/05/2025

I used to work at Unbound and watching their collapse has been so frustrating because it was utterly avoidable. Had they chosen to run it like a business, scale properly and adjust their model with market changes, instead of chasing investment for pie-in-the-sky projects like “bestseller predictors”

@bethlewis.bsky.social writes across genres with more heart, grit and ferocity than most. The Origins of Iris, in particular, is a compelling exploration of abuse and regret with an amazing SF twist.

Cover to the novel The Wolf Road shows a young female figure in a snowscape flanked by black pine forests, with a wolf’s head hidden in the letters of the title.
