Books
Two series, two very different worlds, one slightly daft author. Cosy paranormal mysteries in one, darker folklore in the other. Want more, more often? Two weekly serials are waiting on Patreon.
Free prequel: Hobgoblins Don’t Like Honey
Free via BookFunnel, no catch. It’s the front door into the whole daft business: peculiar folklore, odd clues, and the sort of supernatural inconvenience that turns up right when you’ve got tea on the go.
Trussel & Gout: Paranormal Investigations
Cosy paranormal comedy set in Edwardian Britain: odd clues, opinionated folklore, and the occasional supernatural inconvenience nobody asked for.

The Wilfred Bumblethump Letters
Free · three Thursdays out of four
Wilfred Bumblethump is head librarian at the magical Dragonstone library. I’m not quite sure how it started, but somehow we became friends, and now he likes to fill me in on what’s going on in his life: his thoughts on the books he keeps, the customers he serves, his dragon boss, the odd thinly veiled threat aimed at people with overdue books, and the occasional magical mishap.

Castle Blackwood
A darker, more folkloric fantasy series of its own: still comedy at the core, sharper around the edges.
The Lord of Misrule
Same author, different world. The Lord of Misrule is set in and around Castle Blackwood, where old magic, older grudges, and seasonal rites nobody quite remembers agreeing to all refuse to stay buried.
It’s still comedy at the core: this is M.A. Knights with the lights turned down, not a different author. Expect polite peril tipping into proper dread, uneasy alliances, and a creeping sense that the land itself is keeping notes on you.
The new edition has been professionally re-edited, and it comes out on 21 December, the Longest Night. If you’ve read it, you’ll know why that date matters.
The special edition hardback
- Dust jacket with the original cover art
- Foiled cover
- Illustrated map endpapers
- Sprayed edges
No date yet. I’ll set one once I’ve held a proof I’m happy with, rather than guess and miss. Newsletter readers hear first.
