Read NIGHT SIDE OF THE RIVER by Jeanette Winterson if you love ghost stories, the horrors & possibilities of the virtual world, oranges, grief narratives, hauntings, the space between lives, the stories we tell, being very cold, soup, the dissolving of time, support ghosts,, theatrics & liminal spaces.
With the release of "The Spiral and The Threads" in hardcover and paperback, "The Nod/Wells Timelines" as I originally conceived them have been completed. In many ways, this is my most challenging, and potentially rewarding, book to date, and one that is very much "for the fans."

#JustFinised the first book in the Skulldugery Pleasant series. Well, after the prequel that is... It's shaping up to be a pretty decent fantasy/adventure series with some under- or over- stated humour. I haven't decided which, maybe both.
