  • My Best Friend Has Issues Laura Marney

    [trim]"Bored of chick-lit? Full-on-bitch-lit could be the answer! - More dark and twisted than Barcelona's back streets. Darkly funny and even shocking at times, this is a holiday read that'll snap you out of your poolside doziness and have you shaking your head in disbelief. In a good way." - Heat[/trim]

  • Nobody Loves a Ginger Baby Laura Marney

    [trim]'Marney gives chick lit a shot of adrenalin with a novel featuring one of literature's most repulsive love objects. Hard-core romance for the bitter and twisted.' - The Independent (in 50 best summer reads)[/trim]

  • Making Shore Sara Allerton

    [trim]'This breathtaking debut novel deals with man's harrowing struggle for survival in a hostile sea, but this book is so much more - a life-affirming account of love, camaraderie, anguish and coming of age, played out against a backdrop of the Atlantic swell. Making Shore is destined to become a true maritime classic.' - Angus Konstam[/trim]

We're delighted to reveal the cover and announce the publication of @dsmurraya's forthcoming book The Loch of the Bees.

Continuing his elegiac Lewis novels, Murray serves up a remarkable new work that sweeps across time from the eighth century to the present day.

Layering interlinked stories of successive generations like blankets of peat, he allows echoes of ancient lives to surface in the present.
