THE LITTLE GOD OF QUEEN'S PARK OUT NOW
In a not-so-distant world destroyed by an environmental disaster, a creature by the name of Lilith observes the daily lives of people forced to live together in what used to be a family house in Queen’s Park, North London. How they are trying to adapt to the new world order, to having lost everything, to being forced to do demanding manual work, and, most of all, how they interact with each other.
But who is Lilith, or rather, what kind of creature is she to be able to read the innermost thoughts of the people living in the house? Could she really be a tri-millennial spirit first bound to this plane of existence by her witch mother in ancient Jerusalem, as she claims?
Events take an unexpected and rather sinister turn when a new group of people who need rehousing after the collapse of a hastily constructed high-rise building come to the Queen’s Park house. Winston, their leader, is a preacher who announces the Second Coming for the virtuous people who will follow his teachings. But is he really who he pretends to be? Are his plans truly for the happiness of mankind? And how does he know so much about Lilith?
 There are only two important people in Iris Low’s life – Tom, a musician and Matilda, her childhood friend and a practicing Wiccan. When Tom disappears, Iris turns to a therapist to help her discover what has happened to him in the hope the therapist may unlock parts of her memory she is not ready to confront. What is it about Tom’s disappearance that Iris has buried deep in her mind, and will therapy help to dig up the memories, or will Iris have to turn to magic to find out? |  This book is a companion to the novel The Piper and the Fairy, and a way of showing the inspiration behind it. It touches upon the themes I care about as a writer, Wicca, fairies, magic, and mental health. Most of the artwork in this book is my own, with a little help from two artist friends, Alban Low and Caroline Brown. The book mixes excerpts from the novel with original artwork inspired by the story, with a nods to other projects I’ve been involved in. |  Musician Sampson Maxwell has demons to fight. Alcoholism, drug abuse, depression and anxiety have all conspired to give him such low self-esteem that he has retreated into a world of his own making. Fighting a ghost from his past is pushing him to his limits. While on tour in Scotland with his new band, he realises things are worse than he had imagined. Trying to escape the horrors, he finds himself on a remote island off the coast of Glasgow, in the Chai Community. |

MUSIC OF THE COSMOS OUT NOW
“We must discover the Music of the Cosmos. "With these words, visionary, depraved and intensely artistic Gaius piques the curiosity of Sam and his friends, young lads from Kent who have come to Swinging London in search of musical success.
In their quest for the otherworldly Music of the Cosmos, the boys leave London for Paris, and experiment with the help of psychotropic drugs designed by a mysterious patron whom only Gaius has ever met.
While travelling through rural France to escape the madness of the May 1968 revolution, events take a turn for the tragic – and the supernatural. Forty-five years later, Sam recounts the story. But has his use of chemical substances irredeemably altered his perception of reality?
