Stand-alone tales from familiar stories
THE DAY BEFORE (A Thousand Reasons)
During a long, tightly managed press day at Blackwood Studios, Vivienne Vale parries a hungry interviewer, endures her manager Elaine’s razor-sharp control, and says one ill-advised thing on camera that fans immediately turn into scripture: Screw the rules. Find your courage.
That night, in the quiet she’s curated as carefully as her reputation, Viv tries to forget the world – and Rowan Hart.
But before dawn, back at Blackwood, she watches Rowan arrive in her vintage Volvo, sit too long in the dark, and then bolt for Stage 9 like she’s running from something.
Viv should feel nothing at all.
Instead, she feels… curious.
A Vivienne Vale prequel short story, set the day before the events of A Thousand Reasons.
I TOLD YOU We’re Being Followed, Dawn
It’s Halloween. It’s foggy. Monsters lurk…
And Dawn drags Rosie into a House of Horrors maze.
Rosie is absolutely certain they’re being followed. Dawn thinks she’s being ridiculous – right up until the maze stops making sense and the shadows start moving.
A comic Halloween caper packed with sarcasm, delightful terror, and long-enduring affection, I Told You We’re Being Followed, Dawn is a Dawn & Rosie bonus novelette about bad ideas – and the kind of affection that makes you do it anyway.
Trouble. Antics. Banter. Standard day, really.
