For a few days only my Gothic historical fiction, Estella’s Revenge, is available on netgalley! I’d love to see your reviews and get your thoughts, so please head on over there now and get your request in. It's only available until the end of the month (January 2024), so be quick!
It’s inspired by Great Expectations character Estella Havisham. I kept thinking about the damage done to a child raised in darkness and told daily to ‘never love, never trust’. Just imagine… It’s so cruel, and the psychological impact would be catastrophic.
You don’t need to have read the Charles Dickens classic to enjoy my book. Estella’s Revenge was written to stand alone. And if you do know Great Expectations…you’ll see a whole new side of it that’s been hiding in plain sight.
