| The Dark Wind, By J.C. Barrant |
| |
| This novel forms part of Wheelwrite, a collection of works all inter-related to a greater or lesser degree, each ‘spoke’ representing a different period of time, written from a different character's perspective. Each novel is either set in or touches the West Coast of Scotland. This novel is entirely set in the Highland Region and in strictly chronological terms follows The Wishing Tree.
The dark wind cannot be seen. Its effects are discernible if you are familiar enough with them. That same dark wind blows through and around our society, never to be spoken of, perhaps misinterpreted, rarely discussed. This novel is set in the West Coast of Scotland, in the quiet places of the Highland Region. Arabella, an elderly eccentric, lives alone in a deserted spot, surrounded by her beloved animals. Through assisting George, who has the misfortune to break his ankle out on the hill, she is forced into confrontation with the authorities. What no one knows is that someone else has an important message for her – one she cannot bear to hear, but cannot afford to miss. That message is the dark wind which affects us all. |

| This novel forms part of Wheelwrite, a collection of works all inter-related to a greater or lesser degree, each ‘spoke’ representing a different period of time, written from a different character's perspective. Each novel is either set in or touches the West Coast of Scotland. This novel is entirely set in the Highland Region.
Following her mother's death, Maggie returns to the sleepy Highland village where she grew up and tries to rebuild her life with her small son after her relationship with his father turns sour. Though much remains unchanged, she gradually notices how the structure of the community she thought she knew well has altered, sometimes in subtle ways, sometimes more dramatically. Village gossip is fed by an unhappy practitioner of the Dark Arts and one self-styled New Age character is on the brink of an emotional crisis. How will the villagers, and Maggie, cope as secrets old and new are revealed and culminate in a shock that reverberates throughout the community? |

| The Watcher, By J.C. Barrant |
| |
| This novel forms a subsidiary part of Wheelwrite, a collection of works all inter-related to a greater or lesser degree, each ‘spoke’ representing a different period of time, written from a different character's perspective. Most of these novels are either set in or touch on the West Coast of Scotland. This one only briefly alludes to that area. It is set in a slightly alternative world to the one we know, these differences being more apparent in those novels which follow it.
A perfectly ordinary house in a perfectly ordinary street is home to a rather ordinary group of friends. Bert, the caretaker, has suspicions. He believes that one of them is responsible for a series of murders that have the police baffled. At this time, the police forces are more concerned with coming to terms with the creation of a new policing agency: Europol. In addition to other wide-ranging duties, Europol officers are taking over Serial Murder. Can Bert solve the crime before these newly appointed policemen do and what will be the consequences if he does? Part of the answer lies back in 1970, with a meeting on a beach.
