It’s been an amazing week, and on the eve of the book launch, I’m thrilled to share that The Mereland Chronicles: The Crier has been featured in both Cumbria’s North West Evening Mail and The Westmorland Gazette!
The articles explore how the haunting legend of the Claife Crier and the landscape around Windermere helped inspire the story. As someone who lives and writes in the Lake District, it’s incredibly special to see the novel’s roots recognised in the very place that shaped it.
You can read the full feature on either newspaper’s website by searching:
“Lake District author’s debut novel inspired by Windermere haunting”
or visit directly:
👉 North West Evening Mail
👉 The Westmorland Gazette
And now, after years of writing, research, early mornings and late nights, it’s almost here. In just a few hours, The Mereland Chronicles: The Crier will go live on Amazon.
