Cover of my new novel which is now ‘live’ on Amazon, Smashwords and Kobo.

My latest novel has just been published on both Amazon (Kindle) and Smashwords (which is now merged with Draft2Digital) plus Kobo to which D2D distribute.

Willow’s Way is the fifth full length novel in the Living Fae series. It follows Willow, Harlequin’s youngest brother, who is now grown up and ready to start his own independent life. Everyone is reluctant to separate the twins, Willow and Briony, but the twins themselves have very different ambitions. Willow rejects guard duty in Tara in favour of doing some investigations on behalf of the court, and his first assignment takes him, with Briony too, to the Hebrides to check on their father who is under a kind of open imprisonment there for his crimes. Willow is also tasked with investigating reports of drug addiction in Glasgow. On the way he meets Ref, a travelling fae. They fall madly in love but are soon separated. The rest of the novel details Willow’s various cases, his reunion with Ref, and their eventual return together to the Edge. Briony goes to Tara without Willow. So the book is part mm romance and part detective work covering issues like theft, murder and kidnapping. Willow has his own story, narrated by him, and is no longer merely one of the twins.

I was startled to realise that Joy Lynn Fielding, to whom the book is dedicated, had been notified of its ‘live’ status on Smashwords before they had notified me! I was going to send her a complimentary copy but was too late! I find the new D2D system harder to navigate than the old Smashwords one but will no doubt adjust given time. Joy has been really helpful with thoughtful critiques and I hope she enjoys this new volume.

Readers unfamiliar with the Living Fae series will probably find this novel impenetrable as it references so many events and characters from the earlier stories. So if you are interested, I would recommend tackling the series in order. However, if anyone has simply forgotten names and locations there is a glossary on this website under the tab Living Fae which should sort things out for you. There are also shorter stories set in the same world under the tab Free Stuff. I may start working on another of these soon. It seems my brain is reluctant to leave the Edge and its fae inhabitants.

I’ll take the opportunity here to mention and thank my editor, MA Naess, for her brilliant advice and proof reading.

If you like the idea of modern fae living complex lives centred around Alderley Edge in Cheshire, UK, please give my series a try! And if you do and you enjoy the books please either leave a review somewhere or let me know your thoughts!
