Books
Two doors into the same daft, slightly haunted world: cosy paranormal through one, darker folklore through 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.

Book 6The Wilfred Bumblethump Letters
Free · three Sundays 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.
How it works

- Receive the ebook instantly via BookFunnel, then start with The Pig in the Derby Hat whenever you’re ready.
- After that, you’ll hear from me via a weekly chatty email (Wilfred’s letters included) and a monthly newsletter.
Unsubscribe anytime. No spam, no pressure, no hauntings.
Castle Blackwood
A darker, more folkloric fantasy side‑path, still comedy at the core, sharper around the edges.
The Lord of Misrule
Same voice, darker corridor. 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.
