October is here and that means two things. Number one: Halloween is coming. Hurray! But before Samhain makes its grand entrance, the final instalment of my Belfast Ghosts trilogy will be published.

Matthew’s Twin is Book 3 of my spooky series of standalone, supernatural novels. If you like all the Ms – medieval mercenaries, murder and mayhem thrown in the mix with a mad dash of mitosis – then this strange and creepy book may just be for you!

Want to know more? Here’s the back cover blurb:

Matthew’s Twin: the spirit of medieval vengeance made flesh

A medieval Scottish soldier.
An Anglo-Irish witch.
A seven hundred year plot for revenge.

Around the time Customs Inspector Matthew began having crippling stomach pains, he began witnessing visions of a past-life involving a Scottish soldier during Edward Bruce’s conquest of Ireland, an Anglo-Irish defender of Carrickfergus Castle and a local witch with a bloodthirsty agenda. When medieval mercenary and vengeful witch performed a necromantic ritual to help the Scottish conquest succeed, Matthew began to learn more about his connection with 14th century Northern Ireland.

After an operation to remove what he thought to be a tumour from his stomach, a mysterious man arrived to cause chaos in Matthew’s life. What did the strange – yet familiar – man have to do with him? Why did malign forces from a dark, medieval past want to cause harm? Was there any way for Matthew to learn about a seven hundred year injustice before the ghosts came to wreak vengeance on him in the present?
