This is a strong story of determination, love, loss and
persistence. There are many songs and stories all wrapped up inside
the need to pursue a worthy life. The beginning of the story sees
Ronan, living in New Zealand, reeling after a message from Conor in
England to say that their dad, Danny Farrell, has died. Once again,
as with their mother's passing, only Conor had been able to attend
their parent's funeral. The reminiscences come racing back over the
phone. The frequent ceilidhs in their parents' house, when the
tiles on the roof lifted, are now silenced for a while. Euan, the
eldest, living in Canada, is quickly told the sad news, and he,
too, at that stage of his life, is intending at some point to see
the graves. They are all devastated by the news. Some years later,
Conor, Euan and Ronan, decide to meet up and make a 'pilgrimage' to
Ireland. There is sadness, but a determination to see both graves.
Great characters are met along the way and the singing can be heard
for miles.

"Devouring Milo is a clever, compelling and bloodthirsty read, that
I cannot recommend highly enough." Graeme Reynolds, author of the
High Moor series Something is devouring Milo, and this time it
isn't just his guilty conscience. Meet the Bentley brothers; Milo,
a troubled young man who slaughters women at the behest of his
cruel older brother, Spencer. Their already complicated lives slip
into a spiral of madness when Milo is attacked by a werewolf during
a routine body disposal. While Milo is unsure what is happening to
him, Spencer finds he prefers the company of the wolf, and does
everything he can to keep Milo from discovering the truth. The
truth, however, is a complication all its own, with or without the
beast. The family that preys together stays together, in this wild
take on the werewolf mythology.
The second in the omnibus series, a collection of three more
volumes from the popular web serial. Railroad is a weird western
steampunk story of gadgetry, gunplay and grit. Ex-gunslinger Rodger

as they solve a small town robbery, get wrapped up in a local
mystery and battle a gang of demons, all while trying to solve the
puzzle of who is behind their constant troubles. Along the way

dastardly villain. On a train that can go anywhere, anything is
bound to happen
