Catch up with The Green Man’s Holiday before Dan has to pay for it?

September 1st sees the countdown start to the publication of The Green Man’s Debt on 10th September. You can find a comprehensive roster of UK and international purchase links on the Wizard’s Tower website.

To remind you what this new story is about, Dan Mackmain has been waiting for the Hunter, the antler-crowned guardian of predators and prey, to call in the debt Dan incurred when he had to ask for help to get Fin out of a potentially deadly situation a while ago. They both knew there would be a price to pay, sooner or later. Nothing comes for free when you’re dealing with supernatural entities.

They weren’t expecting this to happen when they were planning to visit her sister Iris and her husband Conn in Dublin. But the Hunter has something he wants Dan to do in Ireland. He has prepared for this unknown challenge as best he can, reading up on Irish folklore. So far, he’s learned how different those who live in that unseen realm will be from anyone he’s encountered before – and that crossing them could be very dangerous.

If this reminds you that you had planned on catching up with the previous book, The Green Man’s Holiday over the summer … good news! For ebook readers anyway. This title is a 99p Kindle deal throughout September on Amazon UK. Click here.

This means you could buy both ebooks for £5.98 and read them at your leisure if you wished. I’m just saying.

Wizard’s Tower Press will price-match this offer on other platforms. We always have to wait to be certain the Amazon offer is going ahead. These things are never guaranteed – that’s in the T&Cs you accept when they propose the deal.

Why exactly did Dan and Fin need the Hunter’s help so badly? It’s complicated, and the trouble really started when Dan found a baby abandoned on their rented cottage’s back doorstep. So much for a relaxing week away…

Cover art by Ben Baldwin shows a creature crouching in a low tunnel entrance lined with grey stones and partly hidden by green undergrowth and white flowers. The creature has pale skin covered in sparse black hair and it looks a bit like an ape, a bit like a bear, and completely unlike either of those.
