Gods, Secrets, Conspiracies, and a world on the brink of self-destruction. Cassie Must Stop the World From Learning the Truth​
​
Going from Glaswegian civil servant to saving the world wasn't on Cassie's vision board. But destiny had other plans.
By day, she’s a young government intern. By night, she’s an unwilling member of a celestial clean‑up crew.
​
Cassie has always believed she was ordinary… until “ordinary” became working alongside a misfit group of semi-retired gods and magical oddballs hiding in plain sight across Glasgow.
​
Classified government data on every supernatural being falls into the hands of a ruthless tech billionaire, Ben. He wants to use the information in shady deals. His chief scientist, Shirley, has other plans for the information about supernatural powers.
​
To stop global chaos, Cassie and her semi‑retired allies must rally elves, goblins, faeries, and everyone else to form the Coalition of the Slightly Less Willing. But as Cassie’s abilities grow — magic no human should have, and whisperer powers that bend free will — she becomes the only one capable of stopping humanity from tearing itself apart.
​
On the stroke of midnight on Hogmanay, nothing will ever be the same again.
​
​
​Perfect for readers who love:

  • witty, character‑driven urban fantasy
  • mythology colliding with modern life
  • weird conspiracies, cosmic secrets
  • reluctant heroes who’d rather be anywhere else

Fans of C.K. McDonnell, Hannah Nicole Maehrer, Ben Aaronovitch & Tom Holt will feel right at home in this sharp, funny, and wonderfully weird fantasy adventure.

Discovery #1: Amazon Contemporary fantasy

Cassie Bell wanted a quiet life. What she got was a front‑row seat to the end of the world.

Unfortunately for Cassie, she’s been “recruited” into the celestial clean‑up crew to save humanity. from becoming a cautionary tale.
​
When ancient aliens start counting down to their return, secret organisations and Glasgow’s supernatural underbelly come crawling out. Witches mesmer in back rooms, forgotten gods sulk in pubs, and the world's power brokers scramble to welcome the new overlords.

Cassie only nipped into the pub for a quick drink; saving the world was not on the agenda. She's voluntold to team up with a sharp‑tongued witch and a handful of morally flexible retired gods to stop Them from returning.

They have ten days.
​
Cassie still wonders if it is a fever dream.

Hello from Scotland, Disclosure is released on the 23rd of this month. It is full of fun and the usual mayhem as I get ready for the new release. To celebrate the release, I have a fantastic competition for you. Books and Scottish treats... when I say treats... I can confirm there is Tablet. If you're not familiar with Tablet, imagine mixing a full bag of sugar with condensed milk and then a stick of butter... yip, it's exactly as sweet and unhealthy as you imagine, but it's heaven in a cube....

New release humourous fantasy

Hello from Scotland, Summer is upon us, the big bad burny thing was in the sky fleetingly. I was out in it for a whole 2 hours, and I look like a red-and-white candy cane (one half burnt, the other translucent Scottish white). I stayed up way past my bedtime to watch Scotland play in the World Cup for the first time in 28yrs. And we won...... In true Scottish fashion, I am now overly optimistic that we'll absolutley now win the World Cup. In more wonderful positive news: Drumroll............

Hi Everyone, I hope you’re having a good week. I was shocked this week when someone left a one-star rating on Discovery... I was really shocked as I didn't think my ex could read lol. Seriously, I absolutely accept my books, and my humour might not be everyone's taste, and I completely respect that. But since I don't have many reviews right now, this rating has affected the overall rating. Like Princess Leia... you are my only hope. I'm asking a tiny request that will make a huge difference....
