Crows and Shadows - A Update on Book Two of the Wendlelow Mysteries.

Otto the dog takes some time out of his daily nap to give the new book his sniff of approval.

Hello there my friends, it has been a while since I did an update on my next book, and now that the chaos of Christmas has passed us by I finally have the opportunity to provide you with some information.

The second book in the Wendlelow Mysteries - which is going to be a series of three books - was originally being produced under the working title ‘A Crow’s Scream’ and was set to be released in October 2024. Well that date has well and truly passed, and sadly there has been no sign of any Crows, screaming or otherwise, from yours truly.

I can only apologise for this.

The delay is mainly due to the complexity of tying the stories together so that they tell one overarching tale, much as ‘Fireside Horror’ did. After reviewing the book it was clear some stories did not work in it, and some new ones would also need to be written to better bind the overall narrative together.

Well the good news is that all the stories are written, the book has been fully created, including some internal art work (See Gallery,) and I am currently in the process of giving the thing a final read through before sending it to my editor. In short the new book which is now going under the title ‘Threads of Shadow’ is merely a few short months away from release.

Threads of Shadow will see the return of some old characters, the arrival and possible departure of some new ones, as well as a host of new threats to trouble the little Shropshire town of Wendlelow.

I will keep you posted when I have more information., in the meantime you can enjoy the audio version of ‘Fireside Horror’ narrated by the talented voice actor Aubrey Parsons, who does a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life. link to Audio book below.
