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 book’s central character uses a Hawker Hurricane as his personal transport as he pursues his investigations in Oban and Caithness. This Hurricane was seen some years ago at an airshow at what was then RAF Leuchars.

This modern image shows a Hawker Hurricane fighter painted in grey and green camouflage parked on concrete and seen from the rear. 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?! 😁💜

The siege is over but the war goes on. ‘The Eye of Horus’ is an atmospheric World War Two thriller with settings that move from the Highlands of Scotland via Gibraltar to Malta.

Portree on the Isle of Skye is visited by the two central characters at the start of the story. Many of the buildings seen in this modern photograph of part of Portree harbour would have been here at the time.

This modern image shows part of the harbour at Portree on the Isle of Skye. There’s a stone quay in the bottom left of the frame which continues round past a moored boat to a stony beach and a line of mainly white or stone two and three-storey buildings. There are more buildings above and behind them and at higher level above a slope in the upper right of the frame. The sky is blue. The front cover of ‘The Eye of Horus’ is shown in the bottom right corner.
