ABOUT THE AUTHOR: TOM HARRIS

So, here’s my updated Author Bio carousel, which includes all my published works to date. It’s been a busy summer pulling existing projects together, and I can now safely commit to releasing four new books before the close of 2026. If you’re buying for you, or your kids, independent authors always appreciate your support, without…

HYWEL – KINDLE PROMO POSTER & EXCERPT

It was just after the Easter bank holiday when the strangers came. They were there when he got home, the trace of too many crème eggs still thick on his lips. A man and woman, Abe and Rhiannon, permanent smilers as they had lots to grin about. The type that had their clothes painted onto…

NOSTALGIA – KINDLE PROMO POSTER & EXCERPT

Before the infamous black door, where she had stood only once before, fresh tears streamed down her face. The façade of dereliction and neglect belittled the magnificence of what lay within, No. 1 Tyranny Square, which to Jackson was simply the greatest place in the eternity of creation. Staring up into pregnant morning skies, cloaked…

THE WOODEN HEADS – KINDLE PROMO POSTER & EXCERPT

They got a hospital bed put up in the front room, so Grandad didn’t have to go into a home. Palliative Care it was called. End of life kindness. One day, a dark and sad day, a final day…Grandad smiled weakly from that bed and motioned to Mum with a frail wink and a wave….

MY BROTHER’S EYE – KINDLE PROMO POSTER & EXCERPT

Again, there was no reply, just an eerie silence, as he pulled at the flap out of stubborn curiosity, which eventually folded open, just as an envelope would. Firash wrinkled his face in disgust as he pushed his fingers in through the sap-laden pouch made of bark. The familiar flash of the electric blue shell…

THE CROW STONES: COMING SOON

I press on, in the darkness, throwing out my hands to navigate via the walls, stepping carefully as I track the contours. I reach a more traditional doorway and find a knob. I turn it, gently. It opens. There is light behind this door. I peer through the jamb. A hidden room of grey slate….

THE CROW STONES: LOCATIONS – THE RIVER HINGE

As he carries on with these lies, designed to humanise himself before me, I remain abstract, detached from his plans, and I say what needs to be said. ‘The Swimming of Witches was probably the most famous of all the trials carried out by your brethren. Innocent girls and women, dubbed witches, because they were…

THE CROW STONES: LOCATIONS – BLACK LARCH WOOD

This is sheer, abject terror. The worst kind of fear. The unknown. It is when we are at our most vulnerable… I recognise fear and my amygdala is activated. It has alerted my nervous system, which has set my body’s fear response into motion. Cortisol and adrenaline are released. Blood pressure and heart rate increase….

THE CROW STONES: LOCATIONS – JACKDAW HILL

Mr. Olyphant has lived all his life in relative isolation, in his ancestral home atop Jackdaw Hill. Like a king atop his throne, he lords over us, from this quaint cottage-castle in the sky on the outskirts of the village. I’ve always thought of him as more of a handsome black bear, than beast, but…
