When the past comes back to haunt you. ‘The Danger of Life’ is a fast-paced thriller set in Scotland during World War Two. It uses many real settings, transported eight decades back in time.

This modern image shows the ancient graveyard at Murlaggan on the north shore of Loch Arkaig. It is visited by the central character as a murder investigation becomes a manhunt and the ghosts of the past become ever more obvious.

The image shows a stone cairn with a plaque in the lower left of the frame standing on rough grassy land with some bare trees behind it. One of the trees also has a plaque on it. Beyond the trees is the water of a loch that stretches across the centre of the frame. Beyond the loch the land rises to hills. The scene is in sunlight. The front cover of ‘The Danger of Life’ is shown in the bottom right corner.

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.

These atmospheric - or creepy - stone steps can be found in the north range. They have an important role as the book’s young characters find themselves cast ever further adrift from their everyday realities.

The image shows a flight of ten stone steps which climb between grey stone walls before turning back on themselves and simply stopping. They are heavily overgrown with ferns and other vegetation and there is debris on the floor. The front cover of ‘The House With 46 Chimneys’ is shown in the top 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.

The tail fills much of the centre of the frame and the wings extend out of the sides. Two of the propellor blades can be seen beyond the fuselage. In the background are other parked aircraft and then parts of two large green hangars. The scene is in sunlight. The front cover of ‘Eyes Turned Skywards’ is shown in the top right corner.

My new Gay standalone SF romance, World Enough and Time, is coming out in June. I'm actually going to do preorders and marketing for it, maybe a virtual book tour. I believe in this book and I think it deserves better than my usual 'drop the baby on the doorstop and back away slowly' approach.

Will be up for preorder in May and released June 3rd, just in time for pride.

I am also looking for ARC readers so hit me up if you're interested.

For Trans Rights Readathon, I'll be reading Name Her Holy by Aubrey Ennis!

Very likely won't finish it within the event's time frame, but I'm looking forward to diving into it all the same! 😄

And if you're looking for a book written by a trans author, may I recommend my own child, This Is How Immortals Die?! 😁💜
