PUBLISHED BY AUSTIN MACAULEY ON THE 21st MARCH 2025
This publication is by a local Folkestone writer Margaret Harland-Suddes.
I have just finished reading this and I must admit it had me hooked wondering what would happen next. Teenagers are going to love this if they like sci-fi adventures. I love the way Margaret’s mind works and dreams up all these amazing things about the future, I would never think of anything like this.
When sixteen years old, Mirabel, Josh, Sarah, and Robbie set out to explore the derelict Wheal Penrin Cornish tin mine, they have no idea of the hair-raising adventures that lie ahead. A death-defying leap through a space-time portal into a place of horror sets the brave teenagers on the first step of their adventures.
Would make a great Easter present for your bookworms and more enjoyment than a chocolate egg!
Margaret Harland-Suddes was educated at Durham Girls’ Grammar School and Durham University, followed by a long and successful academic career. She has also been involved in voluntary support work with victims of domestic abuse. She writes in the genres of biography, poetry, short stories, and YA fiction.
Her latest work, Finding Kronam, is a gripping, action-packed, YA sci-fi adventure story set in Cornwall.
Her poetry anthology, Kaleidoscope, is presented as six aspects of: the sea, war, love, nature, life, and humour; and it includes reflections based upon her Northumbrian heritage.
Among her other published work is Psychopython, a biographical trilogy in which she explores the real-life experiences and traumas of female domestic abuse – a subject upon which she writes graphically and with insightful clarity.
I will be holding a book launch and signing afternoon on the 17th of April for Margaret at the Folkestone bookshop on Tontine Street. Please do pop along between 2 and 4 pm to meet Margaret, where discount books will be for sale. There will be a small buffet provided by Everlasting Events.
See you there.
