About Craig:

I was born in a town called Elko, Nevada. I like to tell everyone I was born in a small town in the 1940s. I’m not quite that old, but Elko has always been a little behind the times. This gives me a unique perspective of earlier times, and other ways of getting by. Some of this bleeds through into my fiction.

I moved to Idaho right after the turn of the century, and never looked back. My writing career was born here, with access to other writers and critique groups I jumped in with both feet.

I like to write about things that have something unusual. My works are in the realm of science fiction, paranormal, and fantasy. The goal is to entertain you for a few hours. I hope you enjoy the ride.

About Lucy:

I live in South Wales with my husband, my two teenage daughters, a giant Labrador and a gang of unruly cats.

When I am not working or writing, I can be found dancing to eighties songs in my kitchen, listening to audiobooks in a muddy field with my dog, shopping with my girls or sat outside my local pub with my hubby in the sunshine enjoying a glass of wine.

Blackthorn by Terry Tyler

The UK, year 2139

One hundred and fifteen years ago, a mysterious virus wiped ninety-five per cent of the population from the earth.

Blackthorn, now the largest settlement in England, rose from the ashes of the devastated old world. It is a troubled city, where the workers live in crude shacks, and make do with the worst of everything.

It is a city of violent divisions, crime, and an over-populated jail block―until a charismatic traveller has a miraculous vision, and promises to bring hope back to the people’s lives.

Blackthorn falls under Ryder Swift’s spell, and most devoted of all is the governor’s loyal servant, Lieutenant August Hemsley.

Twenty-one-year-old Evie has lived her whole life in the shacks.  She and disillusioned guard Byron Lewis are two of a minority who have doubts about Ryder’s message.  Can they stand against the beliefs of an entire city?
