I'm over the moon to announce that my third novel, 'The Silent Winters' , is now available. The final book in 'The Wolf Hound and the Raven' trilogy is available in print and digital formats. The story picks up four years after the events in the second book, 'Return to Havenmill' . Daniel, Mary and Alexander are once again thrown into a grim and violent world filled with political treachery, greed and dark secrets. Destiny forces them towards a Europe that stands upon the precipice of war and chaos. Friends are scattered. Families are taking sides. The story arc is a Victorian-based fantasy adventure about a master race struggling to live alongside mortals and live with their secret in an ever changing world. Ultimately the themes of isolation, belonging, fear and greed are as relevant now as they have ever been. The trilogy is available for download from Kindle , Smashwords , iTunes and all major ebook stores. Paperback copies can be purchased
