I’m Paul J. Scribbans, a UK author inspired by the landscapes and mysteries of the English Lake District. My debut novel, The Mereland Chronicles: The Crier, blends mystery and psychological tension in a story that quietly unsettles and draws the reader inward.
A prequel to the legend of the Claife Crier, this story explores how emotion and vulnerability are shaped by seemingly small choices.

Beyond writing, I capture the beauty of nature and historic landscapes through photography and video. My work reflects the same atmospheric storytelling that inspires The Mereland Chronicles: The Crier.
