Alison's Secret Substack

Join my Secret Substack for a sneak preview of whatever is coming next...

Welcome to my ‘Secret Substack’

2025 has been a tough year personally and professionally.

Professionally, while I have been kept very busy with re-releases, I have not produced anything new. Having wound up the Harriet Gordon Mysteries, it has left me with the dilemma of “What next?”

I am not short of ideas but I am short of time (there are, after all, only 24 hours in a day) and I work best with a clear sense of direction.

What to do? What to do?

Ask my readers?

I know many of you would love to see more of Harriet and Curran and others have loved my recently released Regency historical mystery…

Harriet and Curran are close to my heart but it is always risky moving on with two well beloved characters who have become a couple… so I lighted on the idea of a Christmas themed Harriet and Curran novella to see how the two of them are getting along together.

CHRISTMAS AT THE CONVENT was supposed to be out in October this year, but of course that’s when the personal crises set in so it didn’t happen.

The good news is that it is mostly written but it is way off being ready for publication yet, so as my Christmas present to you, I thought I would start a free, private Substack and give you a sneak preview of CHRISTMAS AT THE CONVENT.

Alison’s Secret Substack is separate to this substack and you will need to subscribe to it to get access. The subscription is free.

I do hope to see you in my new digs. It won’t affect my regular newsletter (which will be coming out next week) and my posts will be irregular so they won’t clutter up your Inbox.

Best regards

Alison
