Sorcerer Christaan De Rein’s return to Liverpool does not go well, starting with the fact that his trusted apprentice, Higgins, dies on the way. Then again, Higgins dies a lot. Of course, Rein doesn’t expect to be welcomed with open arms after being banished for nine years, but a cryptic summons from The Musician herself cannot go unanswered. But when Rein arrives all is in chaos. People with fairy blood are turning up dead. The Forum Magicae is undone and the Curators sieged. And in another world altogether, where Earth is just a legend, a girl named Niena and a cursed lyre hold the key to saving both realms. Or destroying them.

Dive into The Sky Over Chaos, a captivating collection of short stories that explores the human condition through a lens of raw emotion, resilience, and unexpected twists. This anthology weaves nine distinct tales, each a poignant exploration of life’s challenges and triumphs.
From the heart-wrenching loss of a family in “Three Days” to the disorienting unraveling of reality in “Turn and Face the Change,” McDowell’s storytelling grips readers with its vivid imagery and psychological depth. “Three Hours and Thirteen Minutes” thrusts us into a perilous sea adventure, while “Over the Bar” unveils the chaotic beauty of a bartender’s orchestrated drama. Poetic and philosophical, “What Does the River Say?” offers a meditative reflection on movement and purpose, contrasting with the introspective struggles of aging in “Ten More Days.”
McDowell, an acclaimed author, brings his diverse background to these narratives, blending historical nuance with contemporary relevance. His previous works, including To and Fro Upon the Earth and Onesimus, showcase his mastery of literary and historical fiction, a skill that shines in this collection.

To and Fro Upon the Earth is a hauntingly beautiful debut novel that explores the human spirit’s struggle for meaning amidst chaos.
Jay, a man released after a decade of confinement, steps into a world both familiar and foreign, grappling with loss and the fragments of a life left behind. His journey unfolds through bus trips to unknown destinations, desolate deserts, a storm-ravaged fishing vessel, and surreal visions that blur the lines between reality and dream. From the bustling success of a businessman to the perilous fight for survival at sea, Jay’s story is a puzzle with missing pieces, forcing him to confront grief, identity, and the search for order and meaning in a chaotic existence.
McDowell’s lyrical prose, inspired by literary giants like Hemingway and Joyce, weaves a tapestry of introspection and resilience. The novel is enriched with historical references—quotes from Alexander Pope, C.S. Lewis, and Solzhenitsyn—and vivid depictions of real deep-sea creatures, grounding its philosophical depth in tangible detail. As Jay faces monstrous storms, both literal and metaphorical, he discovers that survival is not about solving the puzzle but finding peace within it.
Perfect for readers of literary fiction and survival narratives, To and Fro Upon the Earth is a profound meditation on life, faith, and the indomitable will to endure.
