S.P.O'Farrell returns to the show after his appearance in season 1! His #book Simone LaFray and the Chocolatiers' Ball has received some excellent praise and sits at 4.8 out of 5 after 95 ratings! It began as a short #story and quickly turned into an award-winning novel: Moonbeam Awards, New York City Big Book Award, Queer Indie Award, LitPick Award, (sm)art festivals award and a finalist for Book Pipeline and National Indie Excellence Award. Its sequel, Simone LaFray and the Red Wolves of London, was released this April and has already made a great start. I will be keen to see how Steves indie #author career has evolved over the past few years and what his new book holds in store for us!

Simone LaFray and the Red Wolves of London:

After her triumph at the Chocolatiers' Ball, Simone LaFray wants to fade into the shadows and avoid her newfound popularity-but it is not to be. Duty calls when a fellow junior spy goes missing from the posh Claymoore School in London, and Simone jumps at the assignment. Going undercover, she soon finds herself embroiled in a complicated game involving dark forces, the enigmatic OmniKey, and an unruly royal. First looks can be deceiving, but could a certain redheaded thief be pulling the strings?

In this second book of the Simone LaFray Mysteries, Simone navigates school rivalries, oversees the opening of a new LaFray's Patisserie, and finds herself questioning her loyalties as she prowls under the moonlight with the notorious Red Wolves. And to top it all off, the most popular boy in school can't stop staring at her. The life of the world's most promising young spy is about to get messy.
