Stories That Linger.

Some things were never meant to be finished.
Evan and Lili have grown up together.
They know the fields, the old tree, the broken wall and the half-built treehouse that became theirs. They know each other's habits, each other's dreams and, perhaps most dangerously, each other. But growing up has a way of changing the things we think will last forever.
Evan wants to leave. He dreams of volcanoes, distant places and a life beyond the small Welsh village that has always felt too familiar. Lili wants something different: stability, control and a future she can build for herself.
Then university arrives.
A new city. New friendships. New possibilities.
And the distance between what they have always been and what they might become begins to disappear.
Because sometimes the person who feels most like home is also the person who can hurt you most.
The Half-Baked Treehouse is a tender, emotionally charged story about first love, friendship, trauma and the messy reality of growing up. For anyone who has ever left somewhere but carried it with them, it is a story about the people we love, the choices we make, and the unfinished things that stay with us long after we thought we had moved on.
Some things were never meant to be finished.
That doesn't mean they didn't matter.
Crossroads at Dawn: Unseen Horizons
In a world where memory clings like mist and the future waits just beyond the skyline, one woman must navigate the delicate terrain between who she was, who she’s become, and the love she never quite left behind.
Love doesn’t always end. Sometimes, it just waits.
When Hannah Williams accepts a life-changing opportunity across the Atlantic, she leaves behind more than just a flat full of laughter and a dog with a penchant for chaos... she leaves behind Roo, the boy who once made Tuesdays feel infinite. But new beginnings rarely come without echoes, and as Hannah builds a life in a city of strangers, the past begins to tug at her in unexpected ways.
Set between the rain-slicked streets of home and the sharp, bright cold of Montreal, Crossroads at Dawn: Unseen Horizons is a deeply moving exploration of love, loss, and the quiet courage it takes to start again. With a cast of unforgettable characters, razor-sharp dialogue, and a voice that hums with honesty, this is a story about the moments that shape us... and the ones we never see coming.
For fans of character-driven fiction, emotional nuance, and stories that linger long after the final page.
✨This is the highly anticipated sequel to Crossroads at Dawn: The Story of Us.
A Setting of Skyes
At the edge of the world, peace awaits…
From the author of the Crossroads at Dawn Trilogy, Aled Thomas
High on K2, where the air is thin and the margin for error is razor-sharp, Delwyn Roberts keeps climbing.
On the surface, it’s a mountaineering expedition. A dangerous ascent against brutal weather, exhaustion, and altitude. But this is not a story about conquering a mountain. It’s a story about surviving grief, carrying love, and searching for peace after loss.
As Del pushes higher into the death zone, memories of home pull him back: quiet Sunday walks, a woman who hummed when she was happy, a little girl who believed clouds were made of dreams. In his pack, he carries what remains of that life - a wedding ring and a battered stuffed duck named Mr. Quack - fragile keepsakes in a place that offers no mercy.
Told through dual timelines of past and present, A Setting of Skyes is a literary fiction novel about love after loss, the weight of memory, and the thin line between endurance and escape. It explores mental health, grief, and resilience through a deeply human lens, asking whether peace is found at the summit — or somewhere far quieter.
Poetic, intimate, and emotionally raw, this novel blends survival drama with reflective, character-driven storytelling. For readers who love emotionally powerful fiction, stories set against extreme landscapes, and novels that linger long after the final page, A Setting of Skyes offers a moving meditation on what it means to keep going when everything has changed.
Ideal for readers searching for:
Literary fiction about grief and healing
Emotional novels about love, loss, and resilience
Survival and mountaineering fiction with depth
Character-driven stories with poetic prose
Thought-provoking mental health fiction
Crossroads at Dawn: Echoes
Grief leaves traces. Friendship leaves echoes. And love... love refuses to let go.
Phil thought he understood loss. He thought he could carry the weight. But when an absence becomes the loudest presence in the room, he finds himself caught between the life he has, the memories that haunt him, and the love that still aches quietly in the spaces the person once filled.
From the raw silence of funerals to nights where the past feels alive enough to touch, Echoes is a story of holding on, of letting go, and of finding the strength to move forward when the future feels impossible. With Rebecca by his side and the old gang never far away, Phil must navigate the fragile terrain of guilt, memory, and the stubborn light of hope that refuses to be extinguished.
Tender, unflinching, and beautifully human, Echoes is the final chapter in the Crossroads at Dawn trilogy; a meditation on love, loss, and the echoes that shape us long after the last goodbye.
For fans of poignant contemporary fiction, emotional honesty, and stories that linger like a song you can’t forget.

Crossroads at Dawn: The Story of Us
Before the heartbreak. Before the choices. Before the distance. There was us.
In a cramped flat filled with mismatched mugs, shared secrets, and a dog who arrived as unexpectedly as love itself, five friends stumble their way through the messy, magical years between adolescence and adulthood. Nights blur into dawns, laughter tangles with heartbreak, and ordinary moments quietly stitch themselves into the fabric of forever.
When Roo wakes up one morning to find a stray puppy curled against him, it feels like the start of a story he doesn’t yet know he’s writing. With Hannah, Phil, Lucy, and Rowan by his side, their little found-family learns what it means to belong, to break, and to keep showing up... long after the world outside has moved on.
The Story of Us is the beginning of the Crossroads at Dawn trilogy: an unforgettable exploration of friendship, love, and the echoes we carry through time. Honest, funny, and deeply moving, it reminds us that sometimes, the most extraordinary stories are written in the quietest moments.
For fans of character-driven fiction, bittersweet nostalgia, and stories that feel like coming home.
✨ This is the first book in the Crossroads at Dawn trilogy, continued in Unseen Horizons and Echoes.
