What's new with the Goblin Postman?
The dead still
lie in Glimmer Lake,
their eyes wide open
 No one now living can tell you how
it was to dance in the Glimmer Lake pavilion. You can only hear second-hand
what the survivors said, that on a summer night it lilted with music and
laughter. It was golden. It was magic.
But that
was long ago, before the pavilion’s collapse took so many young lives.
Now it
stands derelict. Ice crusts its broken arches. On some clear nights (it’s
said), you can see the faces of the dead beneath the ice of the lake, their
eyes gleaming up at the moon.
Stella
Macmillan, a sceptic to her core, laughs at such stories. Until she finds
herself saddled with a mission: to free three souls trapped by the events
of that solstice night in 1926, when a Faustian bargain went awry.
It
doesn’t help that her backup team are a beloved but impulsive sister and
two new friends, brothers who may both be vulnerable to the effects of that
Faustian bargain. And that her chief advisor comes to her only in dreams.

 Why a Goblin Postman?
I write books for kids. By kids I mean children,
tweens, young adults, and anyone of any age who enjoys a good story.
I write what I love to read: stories of adventure,
mystery, suspense, and fantasy. Stories about ordinary people who get mixed
up in extraordinary trouble.
Stories, magical and haunting and sometimes
bizarre, stories that creep into your imagination and your dreams — like
mail delivered by the Goblin Postman.
