Hello from Scotland,

Wowzah, you guys are just the best. It's been a few weeks since the launch of the new book. I am over the moon. Thank you to you all.

Discovery, the first book in the series, reached #1 in British contemporary literature and humourous fantasy

Disclosure: my new release reached #10 in British contemporary literature. Wow wow wow. For a series about Cassie a wee Glasgwegian office worker who gets caught up in a mad world with semi-retired gods and witches, I'm just astonished at how much you guys are enjoying it. Ralph even went on a wee sightseeing tour of Glasgow to try to find the Ley Line. ... I'm just glad he survived. .. He deserves a swift shot of Angel Share for that intrepid expedition.

But now to you! Thank you everyone whe entered into the competition to win the signed books and lots of lovely Scottish goodies......and the winner is.....

Patricia, Congratulations!

Not to worry if you haven't won, here's a wee sneek peek into the next book and the wonderfully weird parts of Scotland. I've been doing some research for the next book, and it's led me down many rabbit holes leading to Rosslyn Chapel .... Ah, but it's been done to death, you say... Well, did you know that there are dragons carved into the pillars at the side of the altar? Now tell me that doesn't scream fantasy novel?

But better than that: Rosslyn is just full of fantasy elements. There are two panels: the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Acts of Mercy, but something is very wrong. It's actually wild because two of the carvings are on the wrong sides: Charity is on the deadly sin panel, and Avarice is on the Mercy panel. What?!? The best part of it is that this is all true; the novel is basically writing itself at this point.

And there's an Ikea next door to the Chapel. It has everything I want for a day out, fantasy, conspiracy and cheap candles.

Happy reading!

Louise
