Dropped into the Scottish Christmas Book Fair today to sign some copies of THE QUEEN OF THE HIGH FIELDS (and catch up with the indomitable Fra of @lunapress.bsky.social)
Rhiannon and Fra pose together as Rhiannon holds up a copy of her award-winning novella with a "signed" sticker on it.

She tried not to look at them as she passed, even as they rasped a light whisper. It was the same muddled hiss they often made when she went by them. Maybe they were trying to tell her something. All these ghosts in this city with something to say, yet she was never able to really understand them.

A breeze blew in, and with it the clear, refreshing scent of rain. The drops brushing his cheek, his first real weather after months on transport ships and orbital stations, was like a message from home, a memory of his mother standing under an apple tree, watching spring shoots unfurl in the Fields.

Outside, the ghosts didn't always stay in the same place - sometimes they moved, or gathered, and when the rain was heavy Maggie could even hear them. An echoing thrum of gathered spirits amongst the screams of rain. In This City, Where it Rains Lyndsey Croal

I swear, this isn't a zombie story. It just has some not-quite-alive monsters in it.

And people fleeing from them in a desperate bid for survival.

No Z word though, that's what counts.

That flesh, like all of their flesh, was pale and sagging, shot through with thick, dark veins. The head of one horse-like creature trembled and a section of its neck slid off, breaking into chunks and dust as it fell, but the beast didn't collapse. All That Is in the Earth Andrew Knighton
