Book Fair Australia with Jess McFarlane
I think I’m the luckiest indie author in the world—I spent the whole weekend chatting with one of my author besties while we shared a table at Book Fair Australia, Melbourne.
Throughout the busy weekend selling our books, we were able to find time to chat about Jess’s upcoming projects. The exciting final book in the Arasgain Rule series, King of Stags will be coming out 7th May 2026, almost a year and a half since the release of the first in her four book series, Woman of Wolves. Looking ahead, Jess discussed her future writing plans which feature her first entry into the wildly popular and niche Omegaverse.
It is no surprise to me that Jess sold out of all her books at Book Fair Australia. What was encouraging to see was the interest people had towards the Arasgain Rule series - you should have seen the way people were gravitating to the beautiful covers on her books! Once people learned about the feminine rage and Irish mythology within, they were sold. I am immensely proud of Jess and the way she continues to be a force in the indie author space.
Enjoy the episode!
