Domain of Darkness will be out 3 December. A sequel to Circle of Shadows. Evie has set up an occult detective agency, but gets few cases till Arthur Conan Doyle enlists her to investigate the mysterious deaths of members of the Ghost Club. Think Buffy meets Dorothy L Sayers.

My historical fantasy novel, Circle of Shadows will be published in October 2025. It’s currently available to preorder with a 25 percent discount with Waterstones. A young woman becomes an occult detective in Edwardian Britain. Think Sherlock Holmes with a supernatural vibe

I spoke about this in my book, Choosing Terror in 2013

Long ago I had an idea for a dark fairy tale with a modern edge. The story haunted me. Now, many years, many words, and one life-changing competition later, here it is - The Binding Spell.

Marisa Linton @mlinton.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

So excited to see first copies of The Binding Spell going out! I haven’t actually seen a physical copy. So doesn’t quite feel real to me yet. Mine got lost in the post 😳But @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social are sending me another one.

Hackneyed and ill-informed treatment of Robespierre. Not great on slavery or gender either. Though I wasn’t sure how much all that was the author, and how much the reviewer

As well as writing about Robespierre and other Jacobin leaders of the French Revolution, I'm interested in the women who outlived them. Here’s my take on two of them: Charlotte Robespierre and Élisabeth Le Bas, their lives and contribution to a contested memory. h-france.net/wp-content/u...
