The Border Magic Universe is based around an old green book. It’s definitely not a book of magic. It’s simply a book of instructions. Instructions to use energy to make things happen. To get what you want.
Be careful how you use the book. Because everything you do comes with a price.
The Lost in Time books are so-called because the first book begins with a magical accident that results in one of the main characters getting pulled back from 2016 to 1920. The universe has gradually expanded from there, as universes tend do, and so as of 2021 I’ve renamed it the Border Magic Universe and the Lost in Time bit is only the three connected books of the 1920s London trilogy.
- Inheritance of Shadows (2020) is set in rural England in 1919. (Taking Stock (2020) is set on the same farm in the 1970s. It’s the only book that doesn’t have any paranormal shenanigans and is peripheral really).
- An Irregular Arrangement is a free stand alone novella exclusive to my newsletter subscribers set in Bradfield. It is chronologically between Inheritance of Shadows and The Fog of War.
- The Bradfield Trilogy is set in Bradfield and is linked to Inheritance of Shadows, but they don’t rely on each other to be understood. So far The Fog of War (2021) and The Quid Pro Quo (2021) are published and I am currently working on book #3.
- Lost in Time (2018), Shadows on the Border (2019) and The Hunted & the Hind (2020) are all set in London in the 1920s and should be read in order. They are now gathered in the London Calling Box Set.
- The Flowers of Time (2020) is set in the same paranormal universe in the 1780s. I have a related book planned for 2023-24.
All the books are all plot-heavy queer romances with a happy ending at some level for the lovers involved, although the mystery often leaves ends hanging. The intention is for the people in each story not to have a full picture of how the magical universe they’ve discovered works, so the reader tends to know more about what’s going on than they do.
I have a further handful of books planned in the same universe with greater or less amounts of magic. I’ll be appending spells, maps and bits and bobs here to add to the descriptions in the books as I have time.
