Debut novel The Turning: a time-travel story set in 1969 Yorkshire, exploring grief, legacy and redemption
When Rory Turnpike loses his father, he's left with grief, regret, and a life drifting off course. But when a mysterious portal on a quiet street transports him back to 1969, Rory is given the impossible - a second chance.
Taken in by a kind family, Rory must navigate the past carefully, but soon discovers it holds a dark secret.
Spanning several decades, The Turning is a haunting time-slip novel about loss, guilt, and the power of grace when the past refuses to stay buried.
"Rory retraced his steps back to Elm Tree Avenue, and turning the corner, slammed on the brakes. The road that lay ahead of him was totally unrecognisable. Mature elm trees towered on either side, rooted deeply within roadside grass verges. Their branches thick, interlocking and forming an archway overhead. The whole avenue felt earthy and alive."
