It’s been a long time since I’ve posted here. As I’ve mentioned prevoiusly, my monthly newsletter is the place to get more regular updates about my writing, life, and so on.

But, twelve days ago, my second novel was released into the world. Pyres is a suprnatural horror/thriller, with an undercurrent of political fury. Here’s the back of book blurb:

Angela has been a spirit painter for years. Channelling the spirits as they commit memories to canvas through her: childhood pets, favourite holiday locations, and sprawling homesteads. But now, something has changed.

The paintings take a dark turn just as her sister, Becky, returns from Italy. People burnt alive, their smouldering remains a vivid, visceral stain on Angela’s canvasses. Already disturbed, her life is thrown into turmoil when a right wing TV news presenter is found incinerated in a facsimile of her new painting.

As the artworks – and charred bodies – mount up, can Angela and Becky find out what’s happening, and how to stop it?

From the Independent Press Award-winning author of Shadow of the Hidden, Pyres is a tense, taut novel of supernatural horror.

And here, in all its glory, is the cover art, devised by visual wizard Paul Stephenson:

Some early reviews have been rolling in, and so far they’ve all been great. So, if Pyres sounds like your thing, you can head over to your bookstore of choice and pick up a copy in paperback or eBook today. It’s also available for a limited time on Kindle Unlimited, and there will soon be signed copies available in my Ko-Fi shop, too.
