Utterly Dark and the Tides of Time will be out soon. I linked in an earlier post to this review by Gordon Askew on his blog Magic Fiction Since Potter, who thinks, ‘this concluding title of the trilogy is the richest and most complex of the three. A thrilling triumph, it lifts the whole story onto another level, into (literally) another dimension, and firmly into the realm of great children’s fantasies.’
If you haven’t yet dipped a toe into Utterly’s world, maybe this review from Veronica Price on her A View From The Bookshelves will help to persuade you to try Utterly Dark and Face of the Deep and the second book, Utterly Dark and the Heart of the Wild.
I think the three Utterly books are among the best things I’ve done. But, whether because of the historical setting, or COVID, or the fact that the main character is younger than most of previous heroes and heroines, it’s been very hard to make people realise they exist - so if you have read and enjoyed them, please spread the word, and if you’d like to, please order them from your local bookshop, or pre-order Utterly Dark and the Tides of Time - authors love pre-orders!

Indecently, the cover of Heart of the Wild is fantastic. The use of spot varnish is simply amazing. When the light catches it the reality of the picture is "utterly" transformed.
All the best-- Bill Fannin
