And just like that, another sliver of my heart is out in the world.
The Hanging Bones is a story of angry girls fighting for what they love and awful men getting exactly what they deserve, and now itโs yours as much as it is mine.
Welcome to the Breimar Hunt!
I feel like I got hit by a truck so I think that means release day was a success!
๐ฆด Thank you everyone for all your lovely well-wishes yesterday!
๐ฆด Thank you to @haylsbookshelf and @mels_book_life for being my excellent photographers, and @whoaskedmimi for joining us!
๐ฆด And thank you @indigochapterscoquitlam , @indigometrotown and @indigorobson for letting me sign all the copies!
I need a nap now.
๐ฆด COVER REVEAL ๐ฆด
I am so excited to share the cover for THE HANGING BONES, my next YA Dark Fantasy with @FierceReads , out May 12, 2026!
BONES is about a young gamekeeper, the legendary stag hunt she enters to end a baron, and the ancient horror that rises from the depths of the forest. The spooky fairy tale and autumnal vibes are perfectly captured by this cover and Iโm so glad I can yell about it now!

The woods will always take what theyโre owed. This is a truth that 17-year-old Katrin knows well.
