It begins with a daughter and her mother in a garden and then becomes a young woman and her lover in a cemetery... Far away on a deserted island with the person you might love, it's easy to hear a ghost story and imagine that you are at the end of the world. Who buries the last person left alive? www.boneditch.wordpress.com

www.boneditch.wordpress.com The final part of Chapter Two... The Rag and Bone Man has come to the Highlands to trade information with a witch who lives on the beach. He has heard of a strange artefact and wants to learn more, but he might be asking questions that have difficult answers.

www.boneditch.wordpress.com Eliot's life has been shattered by catastrophe. Michael watches - he's her housemate, he's her best friend's boyfriend, and he's sleeping with her. He's a good person, but he hasn't realised that Eliot has pulled him into the Boneditch along with her.

www.boneditch.wordpress.com The first part of Boneditch, a serial novel in progress... They fall into the Boneditch in the dark, and they can never climb out again. The fall changes them, irreparably. Fractures them, breaks their bones. When those bones knit themselves back together, the skeleton is different. For some, that’s a fate worth than death, to others it’s simply death. But for some, while the transformation can be chaotic and unwelcome and strange, it is an opportunity to become something ferocious and impossible and true, cosmic and of the earth. They lick the blood from their teeth and stretch wings they never had. Is the Boneditch a cemetery, or a trap, or a virus, or a nest? Is the Boneditch an impossible fiend or the thing that is perfect, that wants to bend the world into a chaotic arena of compulsive invention and fierce inspiration?
