Publication Day

Posted on October 29, 2009January 18, 2017 by Shevdon

Sixty-One-Nails_smI hope you will join me in celebrating the publication of Sixty-One Nails, my debut novel, which is available from today.

When Niall Petersen has a heart Attack on the London Underground he thinks it’s the end. It’s only the beginning.

He is revived by an old lady who greets him with the cold solace that a creature from another world was trying to possess his newly dead corpse. By reviving him she has prevented the crossing, but now the creature will know him. It will be able to find him, and when it does it will kill him and his fourteen year-old daughter.

Sixty-One Nails is about Niall’s quest to survive and to find a way to protect his daughter. It builds on the core of English folk-lore and real history like the Quit Rents Ceremony which has been performed annually in the Royal Courts of Justice since 1211 and is the oldest legal ceremony in England apart from the coronation.

Sixty-One Nails is published by the very excellent Angry Robot Books and is available from most good book shops and online retailers.  You can also click on the sidebar image to be taken to an online emporium.

Sixty-One Nails
When Niall Petersen has a heart attack on the London Underground, it's not the end, it's the beginning....

The Road to Bedlam
"There's been an accident - It's your daughter." This is the news no parent ever wants to hear....

Strangeness and Charm
Alex has been released from the fate awaiting her in Bedlam, but others have also escaped and they don't want freedom, they want revenge.

The Eighth Court
Tensions run high in the courts with suspicion and doubt testing old alliances. A mongrel court is the last thing the Seventh Court want, but how far will they go to prevent it?
