BloodFeud - my new book

My new book - BloodFeud

I am very excited to say that I have finished my second novel, a sequel to BloodBond.

Called BloodFeud, it continues the journey of the cast of characters and has plenty of tense and exciting moments – well I would say that wouldn’t I!

I am also very excited to be able to reveal that Ewen Henderson, one of Scotland’s leading traditional musicians (Mànran, Battlefield Band, Afro-Celt Sound System), has written a great tune for Strong Stands the Black Tower and the notation is included in the book, so you can play along should you wish to.

Due for publication on the 17 September – the date that Bonnie Prince Charlie entered Edinburgh in triumph in 1745 – it is available now for pre-order on Kindle and will also be available in paperback (only available to order in paperback from the 17th though).

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

To the Last Drop…..

BloodFeud is the sequel to BloodBond, the fast-paced thriller set in an alternate contemporary Britain, where the Highlands and Islands of Scotland have become the Gaelic Republic following Bonnie Prince Charlie’s unexpected victory at the Battle of Culloden.

The Gaelic Republic is in turmoil; John Lamont’s schemes have triggered unrest all along the west coast as rival magnates vie with each other for power. Will his plans to seize control come to fruition or will the Republic’s institutions be able to contain his ambition?

The Clan MacNachtan’s fortunes are at a low ebb; with the evil Allan Stewart occupying Dunderave, their future looks bleak. Will they be consumed by the growing chaos around them?

Gillespie wants to return home, to continue the life he once knew, but he finds that leaving the Republic and its dangers behind is not so easy.

BloodFeud builds on the tension and momentum of BloodBond, revisiting the cast of characters and their struggles to survive, from the jagged precipices of the Cuillin Hills in Skye to the nefarious politics of the capital.
