This week is the countdown to publication of my fourth novel, The Fairy Lights. Here are a couple of reviews posted two days ago, to give you an idea of what the novel is about. It’s a yuletide ghost story, a supernatural horror that gets quite strange and surreal along the way.
I’ll be posting some video excerpts on my Instagram page over the next couple of days and on YouTube on launch day, so make sure to check in and listen to those.
The Fairy Lights is part of my Belfast Ghosts Series of standalone novels that are related in theme. Here’s a bit more about the series:
Book 1 – The Blue Man: A haunted friendship across the decades
Book 2 – The Fairy Lights: The ghost of Christmas that never was
Leilanie Stewart is an award-winning author and poet from Belfast, Northern Ireland. She writes ghost and psychological horror, as well as experimental poetry. Her writing confronts the nature of self; her novels feature main characters on a dark psychological journey who have a crisis and create a new sense of identity. She began writing for publication while working as an English teacher in Japan, a career pathway that has influenced themes in her writing. Her former career as an Archaeologist has also inspired her writing and she has incorporated elements of archaeology and mythology into both her fiction and poetry.
In addition to promoting her own work, Leilanie runs Bindweed Anthologies, a creative writing publication with her writer husband, Joseph Robert. Aside from publishing pursuits, Leilanie enjoys spending time with her husband and their lively literary lad, a voracious reader of sea monster books.
