I read this book at beta level and I’m SO glad to see it back on the shelves again. With engaging MCs, an exciting and unusual setting and some fantastic secondary characters, both human and animal, it’s a great treat and highly recommended.

New Beginnings – a guest post by L M Somerton
New Beginnings
There’s a line in a song by rock band The Editors, “Some things should be simple; even an end has a start”, which has resonated with me recently as I come to the end of a book series. Tales from The Edge consists of eight books and four free short stories and began almost four years ago with Reaching The Edge. The main characters, Olly and Joe, have inhabited my head ever since and letting go has proved anything but simple. I wish they were real – they’d make really good friend...

Trying to write short … and failing
I really don’t know how short story writers manage it. They must have incredible focus.
I was recently offered the opportunity to write a piece of short fiction for a blog event – “Just use your own characters, whichever you like, and oooh, anything over 500 words would be great” – so yeah, between 500 and 1000 words would probably be enough.
Can I? Can I heck as like! But it’s fun anyway. Id forgotten how much I enjoyed writing Briers.
Early February and things were pretty much dead on th...

A New Year and some FREE FICTION
First of all – Happy New Year!!
secondly – yes I wrote!!
So exciting because it takes me ages, but in this case I had the incentive to be quick because I was writing with the amazing Charlie Cochrane!
If you’ve ever wondered what might happen when you nail up a nervous plotter and a cheerful pantser in the same barrel, wonder no more. The result is below.
As promised, here for anyone who wants to download it, is our bit of mutual fanfic:
