The Orangerie by Bill Davidson

Congratulations to Bill Davidson, whose debut novel The Orangerie has just been published by Close to the Bone Publishing.

Here's the description from Amazon:  The Orangerie is a psychological thriller that thinks it’s a time- travelling murder mystery. Tough deep-sea diver Rob Irons is in trouble; his business is unravelling and so is he. The answer lies in his missing childhood memories, and the murder of his mother.

Everything seems to revolve around his childhood home, the mysterious Orangerie, now a holistic treatment clinic. Rob attends The Orangerie as a patient, where hypnotherapy doesn’t just reveal the shocking secrets of his past, it shreds Rob’s view of reality, and his place in it. 

Bryn Fortey

We were very sad to receive the news today that Bryn Fortey has passed away. Bryn's story, The Brain, is due to appear in Dark Lane Anthology Volume 11. Bryn was a veteran of the UK speculative fiction scene, and the few occasions that we worked with him it was always a pleasure.
