On A Northern Shore cover

This far north, they say the dead are with us… 

 

Hogmanay, the far north of Scotland. Alone on the shoreline, lobster fisherman Rob Sinclair pours a dram into the freezing waves of the North Sea. It’s a family tradition; an offering to the sea spirit, the Selkie. 

 

That same night, a stranger arrives in Rob’s village. A young woman, Mairi, charged by her dead mother to carry out three acts of vengeance. Bitter revenge for deeds done before Mairi was born. 

 

Lonely and damaged, Rob and Mairi are drawn to one another. Rob is beguiled by Mairi, but she is elusive, frustrating, her personality shapeshifting. The only certainty is that Mairi is not who she says she is…

This is a wonderful book about finding friends and contentment, beautifully illustrated.Juno Magazine on The Selkie Girl

This book... fires anyone's imagination and unlocks the mysteries of the sea. Older primary and younger secondary boys will love this book.The School Library Association on Magnus Fin and the Ocean Quest

This book is very exciting... I especially enjoyed learning some history while I read. I would recommend this book for boys and girls who like history. The Guardian on The Accidental Time Traveller
