Read the updated Executioners Three!
Also, a Witchlands readalong!
Before I dive into the meat of this newsletter, there is Witchlands readalong happening on the Discord!
It just started last week, and they’re moving pretty quickly through each book. But, they’re still on Truthwitch, and I’m sure everyone would LOVE to have more people join.
So join the Discord, head to the #readalong channel, and jump in with everyone else!
As promised over on Wattpad, I’m updating TE3 for readers there.
I won’t be sharing the entire book before it releases in August, but I am going to share as much as I can!
For one, I want you all to see how much has not changed…but also has. (I think it’s much better now—and certainly the mystery is stronger.)
For two, if you haven’t yet read…well, now’s the time to dive in and meet Freddie, Theo, and the rest of this 1999 crew.
So click the button to read the updated prologue!
And of course, please vote and leave a comment if you enjoy!
Oh, and please pre-order too!
US edition (with printed edges!)
Also, just for funsies, here’s what I wrote on my Wattpad profile to explain the story’s return and publication:
Hi dear readers! I know it has been a while since you heard from me, and you've probably given up hope I'd ever finish Executioners Three.
Well, guess what! I have finished, and it hits shelves August, 2025.
As some of you already know the reason I stopped abruptly back in 2018 was because I had a miscarriage. It was a pretty traumatic, drawn out miscarriage requiring multiple procedures. Then, while literally still healing from surgery for that, I had to go out on tour for Bloodwitch.
Shifting my attention back to TE3 just wasn't the priority for a very long time...
Until suddenly it was again. And now after almost seven years away, I have a fully finished, fully polished, and I hope a fully delightful book for you to read.
I want you to dive back into the book and feel like you just got hugged by a pumpkin spice latte. I want your heart to burst from Freddie’s Very Strong Personality Indeed and the 90s references and the steamy kissing. And while there might be murder and ghosts, they’re part of what I hope will be a fun ride and twisty conclusion.
Of course, I won't be able to share the entire book here, but I AM going to share the first ten chapters on a regular schedule. That way you can see what has changed over the course of finishing and editing...
And also what really hasn't changed at all. (Oh, sweet Theo.)
Now before I go, I want to leave you with links to pre-order--

UK: https://www.daphnepress.com/books/the-executioners-three
And of course, DON'T MISS THE OFFICIAL COVER. It's by Micaela Alcaino, who did my covers for The Luminaries as well (and hey, if you like TE3, you'll probably love The Luminaries).

Lastly, if you're impatient and want more goodness now, then head to my Worlds of Susan Dennard fan hub:
I've got weekly updates there.
Alrighty, I'll be back soon!

Okay, now I’m going back to work because I have WITCHLIGHT COPYEDITS. And unsurprisingly, given the sheer size of this book, it’s slow moving over here in the Dennard house…
See you all again, soon!

2025 is going to be a big year for books thats for sure, also Bloodwitch is the main highlight of the Witchland Series (I love all of them but Bloodwitch really stuck out the most, especially Iz and Aeduan)
