BOOK LAUNCH: SPITTING GOLD

The long-awaited publication of Carmella Lowkis’ SPITTING GOLD is today so this past Tuesday, the ME team went to the launch in the Owl Bookshop. Friends, family and her publishing team came together to congratulate and celebrate Carmella’s atmospheric, twisty debut novel. After drinks (the Lemonade was delicious) and chocolate coins, her editor, Rose Green (Transworld), gave a lovely speech. Carmella thanked everyone that had come and helped during this journey (publishing always takes longer than you would expect – it’s been two years since the deal was announced!) and signed the beautiful copies of the readers lucky enough to get an advance copy.

 ———————————————————————————————————————————————————

Paris, 1866. When Baroness Sylvie Devereux receives a house-call from Charlotte Mothe, the sister she disowned, she fears her shady past as a spirit medium has caught up with her. But with their father ill and Charlotte unable to pay his bills, Sylvie is persuaded into one last con.

Their marks are the de Jacquinots: dysfunctional aristocrats who believe they are haunted by their great aunt, brutally murdered during the French Revolution.

Sylvie and Charlotte will need to deploy every trick to terrify the family out of their gold – until they experience inexplicable horrors themselves.

The sisters start to question if they really are at the mercy of a vengeful spirit. And what other deep, dark secrets threaten to come to light...?

SPITTING GOLD is a darkly atmospheric and propulsive historical debut that twists and turns, blending gothic mystery with a captivating sapphic romance.
