Paige Mahoney is outside the Republic of Scion for the first time in more than a decade – but she has no idea how she got to the free world. Half a year has been wiped from her memory.
As she makes her way back to the revolution, her journey takes her to Venice, where she learns a dangerous secret – one that could change the face of the war between humans and immortals. Before she can return to London, she must help the Domino Programme unravel the sinister Operation Ventriloquist.

Format: Paperback

The Book;
A magical kingdom. Four friends. One terrible mistake...
In the Land of Magic, four friends live a life filled with wonder. But there's one rule they must not break: never set foot on the Island of Darkness. So, when one child does the unthinkable, they must all pay a terrible price - exile to Wasteland, the bleak world where only grown-ups live.
For Grace, this fate is particularly cruel. She wakes up with no memory of her magical home, or how she ended up here - and the only clue to her past is guarded by two hostile and mysteriously invisible children.
As Grace uncovers the Invisibles' secrets, she must work out a way to return home, before Wasteland traps her forever...

Book title: In the Shadow of Time
Genre: science fiction; magical realism; time travel
Format: Paperback
Signed: Yes, dedication is available
Bids accepted: Worldwide
The book:
“I was in Mexico City for three months, and yet returned to England on the same day that I left…”
Through her time-travel research, physicist Dr Sofia Ustinova has attracted the interest of higher beings from a distant galaxy…
Luna, a porcelain-skinned teenager, lives alone in a Danish forest where she guards an astonishing secret…
Pablo, an optimistic shoeshine boy, struggles to earn a living on the sweltering streets of Mexico City…
Meanwhile, Hugo Wilde, a British secret agent, embarks on a mission to kill a Russian assassin, unaware that his life is about to change in ways he could never have imagined…
Author bio:
I was born of Irish parents, and have also lived in Malaysia and Germany.
My formal education was at Hamond's Grammar School in Swaffham, and at the Norfolk College of Arts and Technology (Stephen Fry being a much more famous former student).
I write in the magical realism genre, meshing otherworldliness into the harshness of our real world. I also like to handcuff humour and tragedy to the same radiator.
Perhaps incongruously for an author, I have a background in karate and kickboxing and travel extensively - particularly in the Far East.
I'm married (to Julie) and currently live in Norwich, England.
Stuff about me: I'm a foodie and an avid reader who values good manners, love and friendship above all else. I am constantly putting my foot in it, am reputed to have a wicked sense of humour and love to laugh, but sometimes do that 'snorty pig' noise when I do.
I'm also easy-going and extremely friendly. So, come on over for a chat — I'll put the kettle on!

MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR JOANNE HARRIS SENSATIONALLY RETURNS TO THE WORLD OF CHOCOLAT!
Secrets.
Chocolate.
A touch of magic...
On a warm July evening, Sylviane Rochas scatters her mother's ashes in New York and lets the changing wind blow her to the French seaside town of Marseille.
For the first time in her life, Vianne holds the future in her own hands. Charming her way into a job as a waitress in a local bistrot, she knows that she is not here to stay - when her child is born in a few months, she must be gone.
As she discovers the joy of cooking, making recipes her own with the addition of bittersweet chocolate spices, she realises that it possesses its own magic in this town full of secrets.
Yet Vianne will never forget her mother's warning: that there is danger in revealing the true desires of those around her - and she must flee these cobbled streets before it's too late...
Million-copy bestselling author Joanne Harris returns to the world of Chocolat with the long-awaited story of Vianne, which begins six years before she opens her scandalous chocolaterie in the small French village of Lansquenet.
The Author:
Joanne Harris (OBE, FRSL) is the internationally renowned and award-winning author of over twenty novels, plus novellas, cookbooks, scripts, short stories, libretti, lyrics, articles, and a self-help book for writers, TEN THINGS ABOUT WRITING. In 2000, her 1999 novel CHOCOLAT was adapted to the screen, starring Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp. She holds honorary doctorates from the Universities of Sheffield and Huddersfield, is an honorary Fellow of St Catharine's College, Cambridge, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
Her hobbies are listed in Who's Who as 'mooching, lounging, strutting, strumming, priest-baiting and quiet subversion of the system'. She is active on social media, where she writes stories and gives writing tips as @joannechocolat; she posts writing seminars on YouTube; she performs in a live music and storytelling show with the #Storytime Band; and she works from a shed in her garden at her home in Yorkshire.
She also has a form of synaesthesia which enables her to smell colours. Red, she says, smells of chocolate.

The Book;
Coraline is a dark fantasy horror children's novel by British author Neil Gaiman. Gaiman started writing Coraline in 1990, and it was published in 2002 by Bloomsbury and HarperCollins. It was awarded the 2003 Hugo Award for Best Novella, the 2003 Nebula Award for Best Novel, and the 2002 Bram Stoker Award for Best Work for Young Readers. The Guardian ranked Coraline #82 in its list of 100 Best Books of the 21st Century. It was adapted as a 2009 stop-motion animated film, directed by Henry Selick under the same name.
Plot
Coraline Jones moves into a new apartment with her parents. As a curious and adventurous 9-year-old girl, Coraline quickly becomes bored of her new surroundings even though she has some eccentric neighbors to keep her company.
One rainy day, Coraline becomes interested in a strange door that opens up to a brick wall. Mysteriously, the brick wall vanishes the next day and the door leads to an eerie corridor. When Coraline explores it, she finds that on the other side is a parallel universe that is a mirror image of the one she just left behind. She finds an alternate version of her new home, inhabited by versions of her parents who call themselves her "Other Mother" and "Other Father".
When Coraline returns home from the parallel universe, she finds that her real parents have gone missing. She decides to go back to the parallel universe and look for them. Coraline undertakes several brave adventures in the Other universe as she battles the evil Other Mother. She ends up discovering the incredible strength within herself through these adventures.

Title: The Midnight Bookshop
Genre: Magical Realism
Format: Paperback
Signed: Yes, dedication available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
Long ago, a bookshop was born – the beating heart of all those who find hope within the pages of a book. With the words penned upon the echo of old forests, new worlds are created.
It’s ready and waiting to welcome all those who know where to find it…
Strangers Jo, Adelaide and Kye are the least likely people to find themselves across the threshold of a bookshop.
But as their midnight book club shows them that a single book can change everything, all three realise that their own stories can be rewritten.
The Author:
Amanda gave up teaching to pursue her writing dream full-time. She lives in Cornwall and is inspired every day by the wild and beautiful coastline near her home. She loves writing uplifting books with a twist of magic, as she thinks the world needs more joy in it right now. Amanda can usually be found playing on the beach with her family, or walking the cliff paths planning her next book.

Title: The Weybourne Witches
Genre: Fantasy
Format: Paperback
Signed: Yes, Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
The Book;
1600s, The village of Weybourne, Norfolk
Brigid Netherwell is accused of witchcraft and condemned to death in front of her young daughter Willow who vows to record her family's story.
Decades later, twin sisters Myrtle and Marigold Netherwell are forced to confront the dark secrets of the past and the legacy of the Netherwell women…
Step into their world and awaken your own magic.
The Author:
Amber Raven carries the titles mature and matriarch, and whilst her bones agree, her mind does not. Although, her husband, three adult children and four grandchildren might have other thoughts on the matter!
Born on Hallowe’en, her fascination with anything Wiccan-related spans nigh on fifty-five years. During her later years, Amber turned her attention to reading more about the white witch and their magick. She has waited many years to release her fantasy childhood friend Myrtle into the real world as a fictional character, Myrtle Netherwell. A witch with the knowledge and skills to turn weeds and herbs into medicine.
A visit to Weybourne in Norfolk, England, triggered the urge to write and The Weybourne Witches began its journey from head to paper.
When not writing, Amber enjoys relaxing with Reiki and Sound Bath sessions. She attempts exercise with minimal success, reads, walks a lively Cockapoo, and loves coffee breaks with girlfriends.

Title 1- WARNING: Magic Can Be Dangerous!
Title 2: WARNING: May Contain Dragons!
Format: Paperbacks
Signed - Dedications are available
Bids Accepted: UK only
Title 1- WARNING: Magic Can Be Dangerous!
Tyler isn't thrilled to be spending yet another mundane afternoon at Great Uncle John's. And that's putting it mildly! But after his visit sparks a chain of inexplicable events, he delightedly discovers magic at his fingertips.
Being able to conjure up a swimming pool and a wodge of cash are certainly perks. Yet the magic proves tricky to control. What's more, it seems to be irreversible.
Unable to properly harness his new-found powers, Tyler ends up getting those around him into all manner of mischief and mayhem. And when things begin to go catastrophically wrong, he fears magic is a curse, rather than a blessing. Will normality ever be restored, or will Tyler be forced to adapt to his new, altered reality forever? It all depends on whether he's able to find Lottie's loophole...
Title 2: WARNING: May Contain Dragons!
Dragons are make-believe, right? Wrong! As Willow is about to find out...
When Willow's mum drops a bombshell on Christmas Eve, Willow doesn't think things can get any worse.
Until a dragon kidnaps her little brother!
With her dad busy and her mum absent, she enlists the help of her friends to track down and avenge the monstrous beast. But they soon find themselves out of their depth. Will Willow ever see her brother again? Will she and her friends live to tell the tale? And how will the already struggling village of Harmony survive a dragon onslaught... if there really are dragons living there?
Author:
B. Ware is the pseudonym used by Jo Stacey when writing children’s books.
Born in August 1976, Jo was fortunate enough to spend the first eighteen years of her life just a stone’s throw from Dumpton Gap beach in the picturesque coastal town of Broadstairs. She always feels most at home when she’s close to the sea, and loves nothing more than lying on a beach somewhere, lost in a good book.
An avid reader from a young age, Jo’s childhood dream was to become an author. Her love of writing evolved whilst she was a pupil at Upton Junior School (Broadstairs). At night, she’d often read by torchlight under the bedclothes – or scribble story ideas into old exercise books – when she was supposed to be fast asleep! During secondary school break times and lunchtimes, she’d collaborate with friends to write murder mysteries before acting them out in the playground.
It wasn’t until she home-schooled her children during the COVID-19 lockdown that Jo's passion for creative writing was finally rekindled, and she wrote her first romance novel. Straight afterwards, she put pen to paper to complete the sequel. But with her children in mind, she then turned her hand to middle-grade fiction.

Two Great Books
Title 1: Magster and the Light of the Ladybird
Title 2: Magster and the Auriaku Koi
Genre: Middle-grade fantasy adventure.
Format: Paperbacks
Signed: Dedications are Available
Bids Accepted: Global
Title 1: Magster and the Light of the Ladybird
Magster the Cockapoo and her human daddy, Paul, go for a walk in the woods. A mysterious stranger recruits her as a special agent for the Mystic Council of Mages. Her first mission is to protect the "Light of the Ladybird" and so their adventures begin. After a nail-biting duel, Magster's reputation as a force to be reckoned with is sealed; her work for the Mystic Council of Mages has only just begun.
Title 2: Magster and the Auriaku Koi
Magster and Paul are enjoying a quiet evening’s rest. Tomorrow morning, they are meeting Mandel the Mage to find out about Magster’s next mission.
An uninvited guest arrives at their house, that very evening and the plan has changed.
Magster and Paul soon learn that her next mission will be very different from her first and time is of the essence.
Once again, the enemies of the Mystic Council of Mages know more than they should and the fate of the Auriaku Koi hangs in the balance.
The Mystic Council’s next move must be decided soon, because it has become obvious that Titus and the Ghost Salamanders are never far behind and stealing these legendary, golden fish is not their only quest… they are coming after Magster, too!
The Author:
Kit created the Magster stories after a continuous number of dreams about his Cockapoo, Maggie, whom he was forced to be parted from, due to a break up in a relationship. Although the Magster character in his books is a composite, made up of 3 personalities from old dogs in Kit’s life, Kit stayed true to his dreams and in tribute to his beloved Maggie, he created a Cockapoo protagonist and named her with his old personal nickname…”Magster”

Title 2: Cursed in the Lost City
Genre: Magical Fantasy
Format: Hardback
Signed - Dedication is Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
Title 1: Cursed Under London
The hilarious first novel in a cosy and inclusive historical romantasy series by the writer of Horrible Histories
Two strangers.
Two Londons.
Two hearts that won’t stop beating…
In an alternative Elizabethan London, Fang awakes from his death to discover he is not quite human anymore. In fact, despite having somehow acquired the power of immortality, he’s also not quite vampire, zombie, werewolf or any of the other supernatural beings who roam the twin cities of Upper London and its underground counterpart, Deep London.
A jaded traveller from the Ming Empire, Fang is desperate to find a way to reverse the spell and get on with being dead when he stumbles upon Lazare de Quitte-Beuf, a theatrical Frenchman who is afflicted with the same mysterious condition. Thrown together by the curse they share, the two men set out to undo the strange magic that binds them. As they are drawn further into the shadowy world of Deep London, they unearth a dangerous plot which they appear to be right in the middle of…
And, surely, when in grave danger, the worst thing they could do would be to fall in love, wouldn’t it?
Title 2: Cursed in the Lost City
It’s 1599. Fang and Lazare are on the run with their friends Amber, Nell and half-fae child Tem. The news that Tem possesses the power to make humans immortal is spreading across London like wildfire – and has even reached the ears of the ailing Queen Elizabeth Tudor.
Desperate to avoid capture by the English crown, keep Tem safe, reverse their curse and not all die, the gang flee to The Lost City of Llanelli, the realm of the dragon queen Redthroat the Invincible. Rumoured to have almighty power, does Redthroat really have the answers to their problems? And if they can stop getting attacked by muggers, harpies and dragons for five minutes, might Fang and Lazare be able to admit they are falling in love?

The Author:
Gabby Hutchinson Crouch (Horrible Histories, Newzoids, The News Quiz, The Now Show) has a background in satire, and with the global political climate as it is, believes that now is an important time to explore themes of authoritarianism and intolerance in comedy and fiction. The Darkwood Series does so in a funny, engaging way that never loses the warmth of humanity, even as its villainous Huntsmen try to dehumanise their victims as well as anonymising and dehumanising themselves. Drawing on inspiration from other satirical stories set in a magical universe such as Shrek and the Discworld novels, the Darkwood adventures create a world where readers can enjoy more grown-up versions of fairytales, while also holding up a mirror to our own society.

Title: Her Darkest Hour: The Witches of WWII
Genre: Historical Fantasy/Wartime Fiction
Format: Paperback
Signed: Dedication is available.
Postage UK only
In the shadow of war, a young woman must choose: deny her magic or wield it to stop a traitor before Britain falls.
England, 1939. A young witch. A nation at war. A spy hiding in plain sight.
As war looms over Britain, Eliza MacLean wants nothing more than an ordinary life. Raised on the Isle of Mull, she’s spent years denying her gifts—just as her mother insisted. But her grandmother taught her differently, whispering ancient knowledge of herbs, charms, and spells.
When her grandmother dies, Eliza seeks refuge in Cambridge with her cousin and the women of the WVS. But beneath its spires and blacked-out streets, Cambridge hides more than just scholars and soldiers. A secret network of witches is working to protect Britain from an enemy who knows magic is real—and seeks to weaponise it.
Drawn into the fight, Eliza is thrust into a world of espionage, deception, and occult warfare. Her rare abilities catch the attention of MI5 agent Alex Fletcher, who needs her help to unmask a deadly spy before it’s too late.
As she learns to harness her power, Eliza finds herself torn between duty and love, risking everything for Jim, a fighter pilot whose fate seems written in the stars. But war is ruthless, and magic has a price.
With the spy closing in and the war reaching new heights of peril, Eliza’s only hope of saving those she loves is to embrace the very magic she’s spent a lifetime hiding—no matter the cost.
But some powers were never meant to be used.
The Author:
Suzy Henderson lives in Cumbria, where she writes full-time, often immersed in the 1940s. After gaining a degree in English Literature and Creative Writing, she dared to dream and write until, one day, she completed a novel. Since then, she has published two historical fiction novels and a romance. Her latest, Her Darkest Hour, is her first speculative fiction set at the beginning of World War II.
Originally from northern England, Suzy spent ten years in the southwest before settling in Cumbria. Her home, nestled between Hadrian’s Wall and the Lake District fells, provides a stunning backdrop that often influences her writing. In her spare time, she enjoys walking the fells, dreaming by the lakes, and running.

Drawn into the fight, Eliza is thrust into a world of espionage, deception, and occult warfare. Her rare abilities catch the attention of MI5 agent Alex Fletcher, who needs her help to unmask a deadly spy before it’s too late.
As she learns to harness her power, Eliza finds herself torn between duty and love, risking everything for Jim, a fighter pilot whose fate seems written in the stars. But war is ruthless, and magic has a price.
With the spy closing in and the war reaching new heights of peril, Eliza’s only hope of saving those she loves is to embrace the very magic she’s spent a lifetime hiding—no matter the cost.
But some powers were never meant to be used.
The Author:
Suzy Henderson lives in Cumbria, where she writes full-time, often immersed in the 1940s. After gaining a degree in English Literature and Creative Writing, she dared to dream and write until, one day, she completed a novel. Since then, she has published two historical fiction novels and a romance. Her latest, Her Darkest Hour, is her first speculative fiction set at the beginning of World War II.
Originally from northern England, Suzy spent ten years in the southwest before settling in Cumbria. Her home, nestled between Hadrian’s Wall and the Lake District fells, provides a stunning backdrop that often influences her writing. In her spare time, she enjoys walking the fells, dreaming by the lakes, and running.

Genre: Children (Middle Grade) Fantasy
Format: Paperback
Signed: Dedication available: Yes
Bids Accepted: Global
Title 1: Starminster :
Astrid has lived in the rhubarb shed her whole life. The outside world is dangerous, Mama explains; she will understand when she’s older, but she cannot set foot beyond the door. Astrid longs to see the world; to meet other children; to live in the farmhouse with Mama. But what she longs for most of all is to see the stars.
Then one night, a stranger unlocks the shed: a stranger with wings. She has come to take Astrid to a secret city in the sky called London Overhead, far above the highest peak of the Shard. For Astrid, like her, is a Librae – and will soon grow wings of her own . . .
Astrid is swept into a breathtaking and magical world of new friendships, sweeping adventures and unimaginable discoveries at the ancient, beautiful school for Librae students: Starminster. But quickly she learns that all is not well in the glimmering city. And when rumours abound of missing children in London Underfoot, she begins to realise that Mama may have been right about the dangers waiting for Astrid all along .
Title 2: Starminster: The Month of Birthdays
Astrid has her wings at last. But to her dismay, unlike every other Starminster student, she cannot master the art of flight. Her wings fail her at every attempt – and soon the formidable new Starminster headmistress, Miss Angkasa, issues an ultimatum to Astrid. Learn to fly, or leave London Overhead forever.
Then the Month of Birthdays arrives: a time of celebration and festivity. There are trapeze displays, incredible treats – and a legendary series of games with a prize beyond Astrid’s wildest dreams.
Astrid knows she has to win; it’s the only way she can discover the truth about her wings, and secure her place in London Overhead. But the games are far more dangerous than she could ever have imagined – and someone is out to ensure Astrid never makes it to the end.

Book Title: Reynard the Fox
Book Genre: Fiction/Folklore
Format: Hardback
Dedication available: Yes
Postage: Global fine
Book Blurb:
Reynard – a subversive, dashing, anarchic, aristocratic, witty fox from the watery lowlands of medieval East Flanders – is in trouble. He has been summoned to the court of King Noble the Lion, charged with all manner of crimes and misdemeanours. How will he pit his wits against his accusers – greedy Bruin the Bear, pretentious Courtoys the Hound or dark and dangerous Isengrim the Wolf – to escape the gallows?
Reynard was once the most popular and beloved character in European folklore, as familiar as Robin Hood, King Arthur or Cinderella. His character spoke eloquently for the unvoiced and disenfranchised, but also amused and delighted the elite, capturing hearts and minds across borders and societal classes for centuries.
Based on William Caxton’s bestselling 1481 English translation of the Middle Dutch, but expanded with new interpretations, innovative language and characterisation, this edition is an imaginative retelling of the Reynard story. With its themes of protest, resistance and duplicity fronted by a personable, anti-heroic Fox making his way in a dangerous and cruel world, this gripping tale is as relevant and controversial today as it was in the fifteenth century.
"Anne Louise Avery presents the full, complicated glory of the silver-tongued predator and his milieu in Reynard the Fox, a tour de force of storytelling and a beautiful object in itself. A writer and art historian, Ms. Avery deploys a scholar’s fluency with medieval language, literature and religion and a raconteur’s ease with anecdote." - Wall Street Journal
Author Bio:
Anne Louise is a writer and art historian based in Oxford.
Born in London to bohemian parents - her mother was a novelist and her father a journalist who worked with Ian Fleming and Graham Greene in Naval intelligence during the War – Avery received a First Class degree in art history at SOAS. She then held a fellowship at Brown, and studied Japanese at ICU University in Tokyo, before becoming an art historian and writer.

Two Great Books
Title 1: Into the Faerie Hill
Title 2: The Changeling Child
Genre: Middle-grade fantasy
Format: Paperback
Signed: Dedications are Available
Bids Accepted: Global
Title 1: Into the Faerie Hill
As soon as Alfred arrives at his granny's cottage, he feels like he's being watched. There are steep cliffs and dark forests all around, teeming with unfamiliar life - even odd little faerie creatures only Alfred can see. When free-spirited Saga bursts into his life, he begins to appreciate the beauty of these places that have always scared him.
But this special world is under threat: Alfred's dad is working on a project to dig a giant tunnel through the landscape for a motorway. As he joins Saga in the community protests against the plan, Alfred draws ever closer to the strange world of the faerie creatures, following a thread that seems to be leading him deep into secrets from his family's past.
Title 2: The Changeling Child
Return to the magical world of Faerie Hill in this fantastical middle grade adventure, for fans of Malamander by Thomas Taylor, Otherland by Louie Stowell and The Chime Seekers by Ross Montgomery.
Twelve years ago, a child vanished from his cradle. He was never seen nor spoken of again. Saga is desperate to discover what happened - did he really just disappear? Or was he whisked away to the Faerie kingdom, to be raised as one of their own?
As she searches for the truth, her best friend Alfred has his own vital mission. The mayor's relentless construction projects are devastating the natural world, and now the fearsome faeries want revenge. Only Alfred, a demi fae, can restore peace between the two realms.
But as he journeys deeper into the magical kingdom than ever before, the two friends start to suspect that the lost child could be the key to everything...

A Magical Trilogy
Title 1: The October Witches
Title 2: The November Witches
Title 3: The December Witches
Genre: Children
Format: Paperbacks
Signed - Dedications are Available
Bids Accepted: UK Only
Title 1: The October Witches
here's so much to love about October - Halloween, pumpkin everything and MAGIC. Especially magic. But for nervous young witch Clemmie, this October might see the stars descend on her for the first time, bringing with them a whole month of chaotic new power. She's spent twelve years watching her mum, aunts and cousin receive their October power and knows that, for the Merlyns, magic can get very messy.
And there are those who want to harness their magic and make it last beyond October. It's a bold experiment, until Clemmie and her coven find themselves in mortal danger. What price must be paid for magic that never ends? Or for having magic at all?
Title 2: The November Witches
No witch is excited about gloomy magic-free November apart from young hag Clemmie who is relieved to finally be done with October’s magical mess.
But if there’s no more magic, then where are all the armour-clad knights coming from? When even their enemy coven, the Morgans, don’t have any answers, the Merlyns are on the run.
Neither the Morgan or Merlyn covens want to burn so they will have to work together to solve the mystery of where the witch-hunting knights and the all-engulfing flames are coming from.
Will Clemmie be able to find her voice in time to save her family?
Continuing directly on from THE OCTOBER WITCHES, this NOVEMBER sequel is full of bonfires, knights, family disasters and one very important round table.

Mia Flanagan has never been told who her father is and, aged ten, stopped asking. Now she keeps her own secrets.
But when the movie she’s working on ends in disaster, she flies home to discover her fiancé has a secret too; leaving her
dreams crushed.
Broken-hearted, a lonely summer in London looms. Until family friend, Archie Fitzgerald, invites her to stay at his fading mansion on Ireland’s ancient east coast.For Archie also has a secret, and the longer Mia stays, the more she wonders if Archie really is her father after all...
Summer of Secrets is a tale of how the ghost of love can blight many lives. And how Mia, realising the past cannot
hurt her, must make way for new love and the promise of happiness waiting in the wings.

Title : Summer of Secrets.
Genre: Fantasy
Format: Paperback.
Dedication available: Yes.
Postage UK only
The Book;
"That's like believing in Father Christmas," he said. "Or mermaids," she replied gravely.
Meet the Morgans. Three very different sisters, who each blame themselves for their mother's mysterious disappearance. Now, over forty years on, they are in crisis.
Cassandra - the eldest - runs the family's quirky, cliffside hotel. But the business is in trouble, and it seems a secret from the past is determined to resurface and destroy all she's worked for. Greer - the youngest - walked away from a glittering career to live in London. The mistress of a powerful man, she's left stranded on the day they were to start a new life together. Now she has no choice but to return to the family home - but what kind of welcome can she expect?
And Orla - the middle sister, whose obsessive shell collecting and messages from the 'sea- people' dominate her life. But Orla knows things. She knows Greer is coming home to a new future, that Cassandra's dark secret will change their lives and that their mother never really left at all.
And there's another secret, something they all share... but of course nobody's telling.

Title 1: NETTLE
Title 2: OWL KING (The Faery Realm series)
Genre: YA Fantasy (12+)
Format: Hardback
Dedication available: Yes
Postage: UK only
Title 1: NETTLE
Inspired by faery myth and folklore, the haunting, heart wrenching tale of a girl called Nettle in a dark, foreboding faery kingdom, for fans of Holly Black's The Folk of the Air series and Twin Crowns.
Welcome to a world of glittering courts, dangerous bargains and dazzling trickery.
A wild misfit in the human world, Nettle is enthralled by the glamour of the faery realm, with its two moons and scarlet stars. She grows close to Conor, a human stolen centuries before, and she also falls under the spell of mysterious Ellion, a Shadow Faery. To try to help her beloved grandmother who is fading in her world, Nettle makes a pact with the faery king. He'll heal her grandmother in exchange for Nettle completing three tasks. She agrees, not realising that deception lurks in this enchanted place, and that she has been tricked.
In this dangerous fantasy kingdom Nettle discovers, too late, her part in an age-old love story and the price she will pay.
Title 2: OWL KING (The Faery Realm series)
A dark, captivating 12+/YA tale of deception and survival, set in the same faery world as Nettle.
Long ago, kings and queens of the faery realms exchanged talismans with one another to maintain harmony in their world. The Stag King gave up a shard of antler, the Owl King a feather, the Minnow Queen a shimmering, silver scale. But the Owl King has grown restless, and his kingdom has become dangerous as he feeds off the magic of others. Always he hunts for a new bride to sustain him.
When devoted sisters, Ilsette and Lyla, are summoned to court, the Owl King's eye soon falls on the beautiful Lyla. Determined to save her sister from a terrible fate, Ilsette sets out on a quest to find the prized feather and change the balance of power.
Lyla bewitches the king with her stories, but time is running out. Meanwhile, Ilsette's search leads her to a realm with two moons and scarlet stars. Here she must trick King Locryn into revealing the feather's secret whereabouts, so that she can steal it. She's befriended by a strange magpie and two shadow faeries, but all the while, she faces an impossible truth – to save her sister, she must destroy peace among the realms.

Bids Accepted: UK only
Title 2: The Gift of Time
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
Format: Paperback
Signed: Yes, dedication is available
Bids Accepted: UK only
Title 1: Slipped
During the 'Great Storm' on 16th October 1987 multiple babies are born as their fathers die.
Jess believes she’s the only one who slips.
On each full moon at 3.30am she disappears for ten minutes to spend time with her late father.
Keeping the secret has driven her mum to the point of insanity.
Then Jess discovers she’s not the only one and they’re called the 16/87s…
Meanwhile, Jess’s new boyfriend, Josh, has a family secret of his own to uncover but first he must face up to his own reality.
Set in 2017 at the start of their fledging relationship, they must navigate their own feelings and most importantly trust each other.
Twelve months, twelve full moons, many stories to be told…
Title 2: The Gift of Time
Elisabeth’s autism never holds her back unless someone or something disturbs the natural order of her world. Alejandra doesn’t recognise how she has changed, nor had she considered that her husband was a narcissist until she can’t ignore it anymore. Mary Ann lives like a caged bird, through choice and circumstance. She is unable to see further than this but is finally beginning to question her life.
Giuseppe longs to escape his homeland, but his health and his mother are holding him back, or is that just an excuse he uses not to change? Clayton is nearing the end of his life and decides he needs to right the wrongs in his family while he still thinks he has time. Annchi doesn’t know much about the wider world, she doesn’t even know the truth of her own world. She doesn’t know it yet but will find out more than she could ever conceive of.
Then Covid hits.
Six people in five countries are unknowingly and inextricably linked. Love, hate, life, and death. Relationships are put to the test, deceptions are revealed, secrets are kept, lies are constructed. Help is at hand from the least expected sources, but hope is what they all have.
All they each wanted was the gift of time, but this wasn’t what they imagined.
