It has been a while since the last update, the webmonkey has been hibernating, but we are back with big news..... The release of The Fox Spirit Book Of Love anthology compiled and edited by Chloë, a new short story in the Black Shuck Book's anthology Dreamland and we are excited to announce the release of Chloë's first collection We All Have Teeth

                We All Have Teeth    We All Have Teeth   

We All Have Teeth gathers together work with Fox Spirit Books and other outlets, along with some new and previously unpublished work all under one roof. The art work was designed by Vincent Holland-Keen and Chloë.
Have you ever wondered if fish can sing? Seen bikinis kill? Been curious about whether or not there’ll be any justice at the end of the world, or if dogs are really psychopomps? Don’t worry if you haven’t, because C.A. Yates has already thought about all these things and more. Make a cup of tea, and enjoy...
Available in Paperback, with the Ebook's coming real soon.

With stories from authors including Douglas J. Ogurek, Dolly Garland, James Bennett, and G. Clark Hellery. The art work was designed by Chloë, Paul Yates and Vincent Holland-Keen.
Available in Paperback or on Kindle, or Ebook direct from the Fox Spirit Books Store.
