Out Now: Welcome to Neverbury

Somewhere on the coast of England, Neverbury is a quaint seaside town with the kind of problems that a lot of quaint English seaside towns have these days... demons, serial killers, immortals, thieves, time travellers, ghosts, vampires, idle gods, haunted houses, witches, an extraordinarily strident village council, and monsters.

Praise for "Welcome to Neverbury"

"A deliciously dark set of stories - like a chocolate box, each chocolate filled with a mix of humour, blood and strange happenings. Written with flair, confidence and a keen eye for detail. If you like Inside No:9, you'll love this!"

"Loved this from start to finish, I listened to the Audiobook which was brilliantly read by Terry Cooper and then had to buy the hard copy straight away. Very Inside number 9 esq with moments of Neil Gaiman. Loved it."

"Absolutely loved this book. The author slowly paints a picture of the quaint little town that has many secrets! Each independent story weaves a web of mystery and strange goings on in Neverbury ensuring you are hooked from the start!"

For my fellow fans.

I was writing. I lost track of the time. It's 1.10 and I think I just hit my second wind. I will pay for this tomorrow.

More grotesquery from the world of unregulated AI. People who glory in the idea of "cloning" employees, and even themselves, need to think carefully about the path that they are on.

I'm closing out my best month EVER on Welcome to Neverbury more than a year after the book was published. Proof, if anyone needed it, that sales don't inevitably dry up after release.

Some chancer is selling "Welcome to Neverbury" for £12.99 on eBay. It's £6.99 brand new.

Substack finally has a mobile editor for Android - great news, unless you are one of my subscribers because your inboxes are going to be a lot fuller...

Current status... Over-excited.

Does anyone else get a little flutter of joy when they check their Amazon reports first thing in the morning and there are already Kindle Unlimited page reads there? I don't know what the delay is on these reports, but I like to image those pages reads come from someone who stayed up past midnight for... just... one... more... chapter. In reality, I'm probably someone's chosen read during their morning ablutions. Either way, I salute you reader!

I am now a fully paid up member of The Church of Jeff.

So excited to see Welcome to Neverbury climbing the book charts once again. Huge thanks to all my new readers on Kindle Unlimited and to those of you who have bought the ebook, paperback, or audiobook. Not bad a totally unplanned book.

Another three stories for Return to Neverbury have hit the finish line. October will be the month. Kind of feels apt.
