Take a chance on The Great Orme...
The shadowed cliffs dominate the sea, and hypnotised by its will, possessed by its power, and by its brutality, they dominate Zach. They wait for something to happen, for someone to crush...

Exciting news today as I got to see what will probably be the cover art for Jovian Sunset, out in March. I’m sure we’ll do a cover reveal soon but it is absolutely fab. Will be as stunning as the cover for The Triton Run.

Witches, war, and espionage collide in 1940s Cambridge.

"A beautifully written historical fantasy that brings a unique twist to the WWII era."

They called them "cunning women". Healers. Herbalists. Midwives. Women who listened to the land. By 1939, most thought their magic was gone. War will prove them wrong.
The old ways are still alive & she’s about to awaken them.

It's a standalone. John did one book previously with us (A Drowning Man) but it's unrelated 👍

One of the most engrossing and twisty books we've done to date.

I absolutely love the immersive nature of the 40s Yorkshire setting and the thrilling portrayal of the trial in this.

Hugely recommended for fans of WW2 fiction 😍

My weekend so far - interviewing @caimhmc.bsky.social at Leeds Waterstones, marching in support of immigrants with the Prof (and 3000 other Leeds folks), and tackling our first potato harvest. Time very well spent.

Two authors sitting on front of an audience in a bookshop - C K McDonnell and Andrew Knighton.

Two people smiling for the camera, one of them holding a "refugees welcome" sign, with other demonstrators visible behind them.

Rows of potatoes laid out on a garage floor.
