Riversong Books is proud to announce the forthcoming publication of SPRING, the third in the Guardians OF Magic series by Melissa Nash.

Displaced and running away from political persecution in Zimbabwe, Bloggs shares his macabre experiences of the regime that forced him into exile.
Depressed by his raw, squalid life, the threat of an ignominious death on the streets of Johannesburg and shame of failing his family, the equilibrium between his inner self and the outside world descends into chaos and mental anguish. In near despair and degradation, his blighted spirit collides with the dark forces of his extremity which triggers an amazing transformation that not only saves him but also touches the broken lives of other people around him.
Bloggs, refusing to pity himself, finds philosophical humour in his life situation. For him it is the enduring spirit of freedom and honesty rallied with courageous responses to forces of dehumanization that constitutes nobility and hope.

Pre-order a song in the dark, the third in the ever charm series by SD Reeves. Available December 4, 2023

An interview with author Bryan Kesselman, author of Paddington Pollaky Private Detective and The Madness of Captain Mills.

So Deep in Shadow: short stories by Markus McDowell, is about the extremes we often find ourselves in—sometimes of our own making.

“McDermott’s writing focuses on the everyday and the mundane then skews it slightly. In some stories there is a vein of dark humour, in others a beautiful poignancy, and in some a surreal quality, all mined from the small things that pass most of us by. His unique observations make each story a journey into a world at once familiar yet also strange, intriguing and arresting. His short stories are fever dreams and visions that will linger in your thoughts. This is a collection to relish.” – Shane Dunphy author of Bring Her Home
