Katherine Bright’s first timeslip
A Touchstone Origins novella
The dark anti-heroine of the bestselling time travel saga gets her own personal origin story in this novella that reveals how she first found her touchstone.
Taking up her new job at Birmingham Central Library, Kath Bright is haunted by sinister occurrences in the modernist concrete complex.
It’s 2008 and Kath is recovering from a failed relationship while Britain slides into its first credit crunch Christmas. But money and love troubles are not Kath’s only concern as she uncovers a chilling tale of witch hunts and a Victorian murder mystery from the archives.
This past becomes very real when the archives reveal a door to the building that was there 100 years ago.
And a killer who is waiting for her.
New Touchstone story in Birmingham anthology
It’s out! The NEW STREET STORIES anthology is published far and wide following its brilliant launch last week at the prestigious New Street location of the Medicine Gallery.
Sit in on the Bright Star Rising book launch
Andy Conway launches the latest book in the Touchstone series, at the book’s key location, the Moseley Dovecote. Watch him read from the book and answer questions with John Godbold (10th Planet, Fantom Events).
The perfect book launch – Bright Star Rising over the Dovecote
You can’t fail to have noticed that the next book in the Touchstone saga is out this summer – BRIGHT STAR RISING – where Buffalo Bill meets the Peaky Blinders and the Wild West spills out onto the streets of Victorian Birmingham.
Thinking of how to do something different with the launch, I hit on the idea of a location from the book. Getting 100 Lakota braves to ride down New Street (as Buffalo Bill did in 1887) was a bit beyond my budget, but what if I could stage a launch event somewhere more achievable, like St Mary’s churchyard, or… well, look at that… how about the Moseley Dovecote?
