5!
Got my copy of the latest #LethbridgeStewart #Havocfiles 5 from @candyjarbooks.bsky.social, which features my brand new Alistair Snr and Lillian short story, Ball de Diables, a spiritual sequel to their Nineteenth Century adventures from my first novel, Foreword to the Past.
Spent a lovely sunny day at the @candyjarbooks.bsky.social stall in #cardiffbay. Signed and sold several copies of Nobody’s House, some Drop Bears, and even a copy of UNIT: A Legacy in Doctor Who!
Currently in progress - the latest book from THE RACCOONS, a spiritual autobiography, and a surprisingly surreal SciFi novel.
Candy Jar Books continue their 15th Anniversary celebrations with new editions of some classic Lethbridge-Stewart novels, now with new covers

A book entitled The Lucy Wilson mysteries, troubles in time. The title is at the top of the cover and the authors' names, Chris Lynch and Lucy McCaul, are at the bottom. The cover shows a black, starry sky with yellow swirls. It has a giant winged slug and a giant green worm with teeth above and below the face of a biracial girl, with a red hat with little ears on, and the face of a white boy. The boy has alopecia.
It's here! Thank you @candyjarbooks.bsky.social!
