Exciting news just in from Rosie Garland!

So – dear friends and book lovers!
At last I can make this announcement! I am beyond thrilled to reveal my new novel, out on April 9th 2024,
with my marvellous new publisher, Quercus Books💜
‘The Fates’ – a re-imagining of Greek myth, with plenty of Rosie Garland twists and turns.
“You’ve heard the legends, now hear their truth . . .
Before Gods and mortals, there were The Fates – three sisters born out of Nyx’s darkness, destined to weave the lives, and deaths, of humankind for eternity.
But immortality is a heavy burden, and Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos are captivated by the gloriously human lives of the mortals below, especially those of the great warriors Atalanta and Meleager.
However, being a Goddess of Fate doesn’t make you a master of it. Will these three sisters find a way to free the couple, and themselves, from their destinies? Or will they be bound by Fate forever?"
You’ll have to read it to find out... And yes! A pre-order link is below... 🙂

"Photographic" by Depeche Mode. But I admit I prefer the cover by the Machine in the Garden

So apparently Dom Joly of Trigger Happy TV fame was a bit of a goth in a past life, and now has done a documentary on the BBC about goths. And you can listen in here as well.

Dom Joly used to be a goth - or did he? He journeys through the archive to find out.

During the pandemic, I ran a goth music livestream called Of Ash And Wake, and had a good time doing so. But the support from some of the local goths (Some local goths were very supportive though) was not what I would have preferred or what I would have been lead to believe it would be.

And in other news, The Breath Of Life have just released a 39 year anthology, including previously unreleased and out of print songs!

40 track album

As inspired by real life events. Because I come out to goth nights for a solid helping of goth music, not a fancy pants 80's night.

Very excited to have just sent a track for consideration for a Darkwave compilation. Its totally dark trip hop with a dash of witchgaze eerieness and very 'left field' than our usual work. No guitars on this one..Hopefully we will know soon!
