Deeper Shadows of Faerie
When Charlie Somes is around, dead men do tell tales — and dead women too. His gift of touch telepathy has been invaluable to the local police in solving murders, stopping Otherworldly serial killers, and bringing gangsters to justice. Now all Charlie wants is to finish his PhD in chemistry in peace and spend time with his girlfriend Michelle. Instead, there's Michelle's violent ex-boyfriend Dave, a new organised crime outfit in town, and a murderous prince of the Fae who hasn't forgotten what Charlie did to him last time. And they all have one thing in common — they're out for Charlie's blood. *** “This really is an entertaining devour-at-one-go read, which kept me up late to finish – a recommendation in itself.” British Fantasy Society reviews “I really liked the book and think that readers who enjoy urban fantasy will enjoy it. Easy-reading and reasonable stakes are things I enjoy from Martin Owton's writing.” Amazon best-selling author C.T. Phipps
Shadows of Faerie
"Faerie serial killers in the New Forest" For centuries countrywomen in England have kept a secret; if you go to the right part of the woods and sing the right song, an Otherkin man will appear and be your lover. Charlie Somes, 24, postgraduate chemistry student at Southampton University, is the product of such a liaison and is touch telepathic; a gift which blights his life as he cannot control it. When Charlie discovers his gift works on the recently dead he is forced to use it to avoid a murder charge and then when the bodies of women who have taken faerie lovers start turning up, Charlie is the only person who can stop the serial killers. “Owton takes the traditional portal fantasy and upends it, throwing British special forces, the police, drug dealers, and a mild-mannered chemistry grad student into the mix. Fun and fast-paced. I thoroughly enjoyed it.” —Patrice Sarath, Author of The Books of the Gordath and The Tales of Port Saint Frey

Myrren's Gift
When Wyl Thirsk, General of the Morgravian Legion, is forced to watch the torture of Myrren, a young woman accused of witchcraft, it seems little enough comfort to speed her passing. But Myrren is grateful for even this small mercy and promises Wyl a gift. He thanks her but dismisses the notion - what could this poor, doomed girl have to give him? It is only years later that Wyl, shorn of his friends and allies, betrayed by his king, and forced to make an impossible choice, remembers the dying words of the young woman about to burn for the crime of witchcraft. As his enemy's sword draws closer, Wyl finally understands the meaning of Myrren's dying words, and he wonders: had he known what that one act of kindness would bring, would he have behaved otherwise?
