So thrilled for Philippe on the release of “Death is My Life”!
Philippe Boxho—Belgium’s most renowned forensic pathologist— shares real-life cases.
With gripping storytelling, he takes us beyond the morgue and into the beating heart of humanity: where death reveals life in all its beauty, pain, and fragility.
Raw. Thought-provoking. Unforgettable.

FIREBLOOM by @justindaviesauthor publishes today with Floris Books!🪼🪼🪼@florisbooks
Huge congratulations! ⭐️
A story with a sting in its… tentacle!
No-one loves jellyfish more than Tally Smuck. Her family have harvested jelly stings for years during Stormcliff’s annual Firebloom Festival, when thousands of the glowing creatures arrive at the windswept island.
But this year, they don’t appear.
Without them, visitors will stop coming to Stormcliff. Worse still, the locals—including Tally’s grandads and her best friend, Farran—will run out of the jelly-sting cures and balms they rely on.
With Laird Vorpal, the island’s sinister owner, demanding answers, and Stormcliff’s future looking bleaker by the day, Tally needs to find the jellyfish—and fast! If she’d been a sting winkler, like they say her mother was once, Tally would be able to ‘talk’ to the jellies and discover what’s going on. Instead, she sets out on a mission that could take her all the way from the ocean, up the island’s steepest cliff to the Laird’s fortress-like tower.
On the way, Tally discovers that answers aren’t always where you expect to find them, and that help can come from your best friends… or even your mortal enemies. It might even be wearing shells or feathers!
A very happy publication day to @adeclermont ! And a huge congratulations...
“The voice of a woman in the time of men.”
France, 17th century. Orphaned and scarred by tragedy, Milady grows up within the strict confines of a convent. Yet her mind is too keen, her spirit too fierce, to accept the fate others have chosen for her.
A rallying cry across the centuries, a sweeping tale of sacrifice, survival, and defiance. Milady is the story of a woman’s fight to seize her voice and her destiny.
The early reviews are unanimous. It’s brilliant and it’s a MUST read.

Cover reveal! M.A. Kuzniar’s @cosyreads stunning romantic fantasy, A Remedy for Fate, is publishing in March 2026 with @hodderscape ✨
A missing heart. A magical deal. A sprinkling of fate. 🗝️♥️🪄
Prague, 1769. In the Magic Quarter of the jewel-box city of Prague, Thea runs Stiltskin’s Apothecary. There, she brews potions to chase away nightmares and soothe heartache — and strikes bargains to change her customers’ fates.
The only fate she cannot change? Her own.
Seven years ago, Thea bargained away her heart and her memories to the apothecary’s owner, the cold, yet enigmatic Jasper, for reasons she cannot remember, and a reward she cannot recall.
Then one day a stranger arrives with an unusual request. One that will upturn Thea’s entire existence – and offer her a precious chance to recover her heart…
