#XpoNorth Berlin, 1933; as books burn Rosa & Rachel decide to fightback. They can think of only 1 way, save the banned books. But as the Nazis tighten their grip it’s Rachel who needs saving. Now it’s life & death; can they stay ahead of the police & get her out of Germany? mg

Having spent the last dozen holidays camping in their garden under a dubious tent, the Cocker-Uppers decide to venture abroad. Sadly, a mix of Internet incompetence, furious keyboard banging and spilt tea result in them booking a vacation they hadn't quite bargained for #XpoNorth

Nina already cares for her disabled brother, the last thing she needs is the fate of the world in her hands. When the Hawks Templar come knocking & show her through the Ark to Eden she can’t resist the call. The question is, can she resist the temptation before her? #MG #XpoNorth

The History Thieves of 3021 bridge the gulf of time to steal a saviour from the past; a hero to destroy the HumanX, rescue civilisation from the brink. Is Norman Frogg of 62 Bread Lane their long awaited Omega Child? Or will homework get in the way? #XpoNorth

'The traveller who never moved'They did not know he existed. Their computers did not spit him out. He was off their radar and had been for 25 years or more. Joe didn't know nor did he care. What happens when he decides to exist? He can't fill in forms.He has no answers. #XpoNorth

When Cameron wakes from a cardiac event, he is not alone. He claims to be able to see reapers. His family thinks he is crazy. But when he disturbs one attempting to take a child, he breaks an age old peace that has protected humanity. #XpoNorth

#XpoNorth A gifted surgeon, disgraced and long forgotten, seeks opportunity to create life. Injured, dying boy offers this. A modern Frankenstein? Oh, so much more than that! An enigma, a shadow, a case no D.I. would ever want. Now you see him - don't you?

Where stone tells all and legends live
Where fact and myth entwine to give
Feuds fairies curses cairns as cast
All epics of our Scottish past
'I've tales to tell' a low voice said 'A friend to tell at last' #XpoNorth

Glencoe. A five car pile-up. That man who caused so much trouble is pinned in his Audi. At Tyndrum station, his son is bleeding to death. Innes and Badger are first on the scene, but they hesitate to help, duty fighting with memory. #xponorth #Underpass

Wolves, the archetypal villain of fairytales, banished from Scotland by heroic hunters of old. But what is the real story? What would happen if the wolves came back, and instead of fear, we celebrated their true purpose? Painters of the Mountainside, a picture book #XpoNorth

Sounds amazing. Can't wait to read it.

From a young, gay Leither in NYC, to a refugee who has dragged a monumental stone foot across a continent, to a 6ft bee from the other side of the universe, each of the protagonists in this collection of speculative fiction has to make peace with the spectre of death. #xponorth

Fed up of her over-protective mother, 15 y/o Lucy runs away to find the father she has never known. But someone is following her, someone nobody else can see. With echoes of a past life, and a forgotten love reunited, this is a dark #YA fairytale with a Faustian twist.

A puppy called Cora is born in a barn in Serbia. She is blind in one eye, but her luck changes when she meets a couple forced to flee from Russia and a war none of them chose. It's an uncertain future, but wherever they go, they'll certainly face it together. #exponorth #XpoNorth

Invisibility sucks - unless you get lucky & overhear a scheme to extract powers out of all the kids in school! Sam must navigate a new school, make friends, unite the divided power cliques, & defeat deputy Death’s evil scheme - all without even being seen. Simple! #MG #XpoNorth

How hard can it be to rob a 1500 year old corpse?
Whilst fleeing to the continent, 2 Jacobites are blackmailed into stealing a shoe strap from a bog body, awaking whispers of The Cloaked Man, whose plague of conscience resulted in murder & bloodshed all those years ago.
