The Haunting of Hill House meets Knives Out in a bid for an inheritance that will leave Helen Vaughan either rich...or dead. Helen Vaughan doesn't know why she and her mother left their ancestral home at Harrowstone Hall, called Harrow, or why they haven't spoken to their extended family since. So when her grandfather dies, she's shocked to learn that he has left everything—the house, the grounds, and the money—to her. The inheritance comes with one condition: she must stay on the grounds of Harrow for one full year, or she'll be left with nothing. There is more at stake than money. For as long as she can remember, Harrow has haunted Helen's dreams—and now those dreams have become a waking nightmare. Helen knows that if she is going to survive the year, she needs to uncover the secrets of Harrow. Why is the house built like a labyrinth? What is digging the holes that appear in the woods each night?And why does the house itself seem to be making her sick? With each twisted revelation, Helen questions what she knows about Harrow, her family, and even herself. She no longer wonders if she wants to leave…but if she can.

Forest of Fleeting Shadows takes young readers on a journey of discovery to Peridot, a fantasy realm where life is not ruled by a clock, but by nature and the changing of the seasons. The book follows two young witch sisters, Sapphire and Saffron, who become estranged after they fall in love with the same man. The wickedness of their feud is felt by many living in the forest and the situation is only made worse when King Thoden intervenes and unwittingly helps the wrong sister. After Sapphire is cursed with crippling old age by her sister, she begins a journey to reclaim her former life, forming an unlikely friendship with two misfit goblins along the way. But before she can find the allies she has been searching for, Sapphire faces a series of conflicts and a dramatic confrontation with her sister that almost results in her death. All the while an old menace lurks in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to exact their revenge. The inhabitants of Peridot are drawn into war against invading goblins and salvation relies on men, elves and dragons setting aside their differences. But will they be able to unite to stop the imminent goblin tyranny? Inspired by the work of J. R. Tolkien, Forest of Fleeting Shadows will appeal to young adult readers aged 12 years and over. It will be enjoyed by fans of fantasy fiction, as well as those that enjoy love stories. The book also takes inspiration from William’s home town on the Sussex coast and will be enjoyed by readers based in and around the area.
