How far would you go to right a wrong? ‘The House With 46 Chimneys’ is a spooky adventure story for younger readers involving a two-century-old family mystery and the haunting of Dunmore Park, a ruined house in central Scotland.

Dunmore is a model village developed by the Dunmore estate from the mid-1800s. The novel’s young characters live close to the village and use it as a base for their exploration of the area.

The image shows the village of Dunmore. A block of stone houses with tall chimneys can be seen beneath the branches of a large tree, whose trunk is on the left. There are swings on this side of the houses and more buildings on the left. The scene is in sunlight. The front cover of ‘The House With 46 Chimneys’ is shown in the bottom right corner.

How many deaths to end a war? ‘Eyes Turned Skywards’ is a fast-paced thriller set mainly in northern Scotland during World War Two. It uses many real settings, transported eight decades back in time.

In the book the fictional Sarclet Castle on the east coast of Caithness has a great hall based on that at Eilean Donan Castle, shown here. The central character dines in it when he stays at Sarclet Castle.

This modern image shows the great hall at Eilean Donan Castle, on which that at the fictional Sarclet Castle is based. It is a large and imposing stone-walled room with a blue and green tartan carpet and an exposed-beam wooden ceiling. There’s a large dining table in the centre of the room and a stone fireplace occupies much of the right-hand wall. Lights are suspended from the ceiling. The front cover of ‘Eyes Turned Skywards’ is shown in the top right corner.

🖤 My novel GODHUNTER will be available in audio starting on April 8th, narrated by Marnye Young. I’m so excited to share this trailer with everyone!

🖤 If you’re interested, the universal book link in my profile lists some of the marketplaces where you can order it, but I couldn’t get them all up. When in doubt, please try a search! I hope it will be in available libraries too.

A video showing images of a woman in a black veil, a graveyard, a crow, ships, the sea, lanterns, and underwater images. All relevant to the book. The first frame text reads "Coming April 8th." The last reads "Now Available in Audio."

No, people, you don't understand

The Animal Family is the most damn wholesome book I have ever read in my life.

Like seriously.

There are some many dawwwww moments in it I can't even.

Case in point: big awkward hunter falls in love with a mermaid. And she moves into his house. Except she hates that the house doesn't move. She can't sleep still. So he makes her a rocking chair.

And they adopt a bear. And a lynx. AND a baby.

And it is so beautifully written.
