Blood Ties – blurb reveal
Blood Ties is coming 17th September, 2023.
An original James Findlay mini-adventure.
A dark mystery on the high seas.
Ever wonder what happened to James Findlay (aka Jack the Ripper) after ‘Doctor Jack’?
Now on his way to Australia by steamship, and temporarily free from the Men in Grey’s control, James is determined to continue his experiments. Until a murder is discovered. He must use his medical training to hide the truth, and discover why passengers begin to fall ill – or the ship will be quarantined, and his work discovered. But time is running out. A mysterious woman threatens to uncover his secrets.
Has ‘Jack’ finally met his match?
‘Blood Ties‘ follows on from the original ‘Doctor Jack’ novella in the first book of ‘The Adventures of Viola Stewart’ series.
Blood Ties is currently scheduled to be released in eBook and paperback on 17th September, 2023.

Project Announcement – – September 17th Release
(WARNING SOME MINOR SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN’T READ ‘DOCTOR JACK‘)
Okay, it’s time to spill the tea on my next publishing project.
Three years ago, I wrote a sequel of sorts to my first book Doctor Jack & Other Tales – specifically Doctor Jack. The story was first written for the Deadsteam II anthology published by Grim and Grimmer Books in 2021.
The story is now out of the anthology’s exclusive print contract, so I’ve decided to add it to my ‘Year of Short(er) Stories‘ and will be the last I will publish this year.
Blood Ties is a novellette, which is set directly after Jack/James’ final scenein Doctor Jack, when he boards a boat at the London docks (the last scene in his point of view), on a ship on it’s way to South Australia.
Blood Ties is the first in the James Findlay Journals series, and follows his continuing story, and will be published in both eBook and paperback formats. Originally, it was only scheduled for eBook release. (After Ingram Spark removed the set up fee, it’s now feasible to publish it as paperback.) It has a darker, gaslamp feel, more in keeping with the original Doctor Jack story.
Release date: 17th September, 2023, with the official launch at Adelaide Steampunk Aetherfest (tbc). Preorder available from 1st September direct from author via my website shop, and available to purchase at Adelaide Steampunk Aetherfest.
