Curse of the Stag’s Eye is out now!

It’s new release day! CURSE OF THE STAG’S EYE is out now in eBook and print.

There was a technical glitch (that’s the polite term) which meant Amazon cancelled all my pre-orders and I had to list the book again. This caused me no ends of stress this week and means that for now the eBook and Print editions are listed separately. They will be joined very soon but in the meantime, you can order one right now!

eBook: https://mybook.to/curseofthestagseye

Print: https://mybook.to/curseofthestagseyepb 

It’s also free to read on Kindle Unlimited.

If you did pre-order the book, thank you so much, and I’m so sorry for this hassle!

I’m selling a limited edition pack of a signed copy of the book with a lino print by the brilliant artist Ian J. Brown. These packs are limited to just 25 and some have already sold, so if you’re interested, get in touch! You can find me on Instagram, Facebook, or at my email which is my full name at gmail dot com.

REVIEWS

A bearded man standing in front of a lighthouse. Curse of the Stag's Eye, Glenn Quigley, a Haunted Hearts book.

The reviews are coming in! Here what’s some early readers had to say:

“…there was so much to love here, from the story to the characters to the sheer mass of potential for more.” – Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“What an amazing book! … The characters were lovely and storytelling was so fun.” – Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Damn, this was an amazing read” – Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“The spooky ghost story here was well thought out, not only was it the right level of spooky for a book of this length, but it wasn’t convoluted and didn’t drag out to the final chapter.” – Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐

WHAT’S THE BOOK ABOUT?

High on a wave-dashed cliff, the ancient standing stone known as the Stag’s Eye jealously watches over a cursed lighthouse with a grisly past.
Paranormal investigator Rhys has chosen this place to hold his first-ever ghost tour. Ghost-hunting veteran Dawn and her boyfriend Nikesh are eager to go exploring, while first-timer Gaz is hoping to learn more about the spirit world. He also intends to learn more about Rhys for various reasons, not all of which are entirely innocent.

The ghost of a murdered lighthouse keeper is said to climb the stairs every night, tending to the light, but other, far more sinister phantoms may lurk in the shadows. As the night wears on and the haunting becomes more and more hazardous, Rhys and Gaz grow closer. However, it soon becomes clear that not everyone on the tour is being honest about their reasons for being there. Can the supernatural activity be blamed on the curse of the Stag’s Eye or does someone know more than they’re letting on?

Cover reveal!

The cover to the novel THE STAR WE WAIL BY - THE KNIGHTS OF BLACKRABBIT BOOK TWO by Glenn Quigley. An unshaven young man in an 18th century shirt looks over his shoulder. In the background, a road lined with half-timbered buildings and street lamps.

It will be released on 20th February 2024 from NineStar Press. Pre-order link coming soon!

When young sailor Felix Diamond receives a letter from his estranged uncle begging for help, he returns home to Blackrabbit Island for the first time in ten years. There he discovers his uncle missing and his aunt positioning herself as the new head of the notorious Diamond family. With nowhere else to turn, Felix must enlist the help of former crime lord and current Watch Commander Vince Knight — a man he trusts less than anyone alive. He’ll also have to contend with his opium-addicted cousin and a handsome apprentice horologist with secrets of his own.

With time running out, Felix must race to uncover the truth behind his uncle’s disappearance while keeping his delinquent family’s claws off his childhood home — the rundown playhouse named The Star We Sail By.

These Young Wolves

My next novel is coming on 20th December! THESE YOUNG WOLVES – THE KNIGHTS OF BLACKRABBIT #1 is a spin-off from The Moth and Moon trilogy. It is not necessary to have read that series before this book, however those who have read it will recognise former villain Vince Knight, who is now trying to make up for past mistakes.

These Young Wolves The Knights of Blackrabbit #1 Glenn Quigley. A solitary figure in a tricorne cap walks along a cobbles road.

From the moment Vince Knight first walked onto the page in The Lion Lies Waiting, I knew there was something special about him. Some characters require a degree of finessing and moulding to reveal their true selves. Not so with Vince. He appeared on the page fully formed and ready for action. It is a genuine thrill to be able to bring you this, the first in his adventures as head of the Port Knot Watch.

The Knights of Blackrabbit series is set in the Pell Isles–a group of islands situated off the coast of Cornwall. The isles and their inhabitants have been heavily influenced by the Cornish language and culture. As such, you will see words such as backalong and bleddy crop up in the dialogue. These are Cornish words which have been adopted by everyday Pellans. Backalong means in former times and bleddy is simply the word bloody in the local vernacular. Other words and phrases have been rewritten to make their meaning clearer, but I felt it important to leave some elements of the local dialect intact. I hope that Cornish people will forgive me for any little errors!

It’s worth noting that in this world, an event named “The Illumination” coincided with the fall of the Roman Empire and ultimately led to the abandonment of religious practices across the world. In England, in the year 1141, Queen Matilda passed a law declaring women equal to men with no restrictions placed on their education or the roles they could hold within society. The dearth of religious doctrine led to those who experienced life outside of the traditional to blossom and become accepted as simply another part of life. Prejudice based on gender, race, or sexuality became almost unheard of. If only our world had taken a similar path. When I started writing my first novel, The Moth and Moon, I wanted to create a world where no one would face any hardship because of their sexuality. The Illumination was my way of explaining that. It isn’t the focus of the story, and is only mention in passing during the second book in the trilogy, The Lion Lies Waiting, but I felt some kind of explanation was warranted.

This story begins on 23rd October 1781, the day after the events of We Cry the Sea (the third in the Moth and Moon trilogy). It is not essential to have read that book, nor the rest of the Moth and Moon trilogy, though doing so will provide a more detailed insight into how Vince Knight came to arrive at his current position in life.

You might be interested to know that there is a free story that acts a little prequel to THESE YOUNG WOLVES. It is available to my newsletter subscribers (there had to be a newsletter plug in here somewhere!). You can sign up for it here: glennquigley.com/newsletter

This new series is more action-packed and faster paced than my previous works and I hope that readers will enjoy it. If nothing else, it’s got big, burly, bearded men sleeping with each other and that’s gotta be worth a look, right?

THESE YOUNG WOLVES — THE KNIGHTS OF BLACKRABBIT book one will be available in paperback and Ebook, and will be released on 20th December 2022 by Ninestar Press. You can pre-order the eBook version here and get it four days early: https://ninestarpress.com/product/these-young-wolves/

I will be selling signed copies with bookmarks and limited edition art prints, and these will be available worldwide. You can find out more on my Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

The Moth and Moon trilogy is on sale for the month on December on Amazon and the Ninestar Press website.
