Product description:

Genre: Dark Urban Fantasy

Synopsis:

‘Come to Ljubljana. Stay with me forever.
D’

Bermondsey, London: Building sites not building anything, ill-looking grass, five muggings in the same tunnel in the last month. Billy wants out. But how? All he has is a zine that no one reads, and his best friend Jay telling him the harsh reality of things.
But then…an e-mail. From Ljubljana, a place he can’t even spell. ‘Come stay with me forever,’ it tells him.
Weird, but okay, thinks Billy. Why not?
With Jay along for the ride, and others picked up along the way, Billy arrives in Ljubljana and quickly finds that things are a lot stranger than he could’ve possibly imagined. An art commune run by a man in a bear costume. A castle surrounded by continual snow, with ancient gods and 80s board games, famous writers and forbidden rooms.
And Daisy…his beautiful, unpredictable host.
Who is this woman? Why won’t she let him go outside? What’s inside the room at the top of the spiral stairs? And what happens when he can no longer write for her?

What will e-readers like about your book? - Hard to say. The Witch? Maybe the fact it's set in Ljubljana? A main character who tries to light a cigarette by sticking his head in an electric oven?

Why did you go Indie? - What other way is there? Or as the great Zager and Evans sang in the classic 'The year 2525', 'Nobody gonna look at you.'

Who are your favourite authors in your genre? - Neil of Gaiman. He does a good mix of fantasy and reality. Anyone involved in zizek press too. There's something interesting happening there...but I'm only telling you this because I'm knee deep in it myself.
