From the Author:
The Darkeningstone books span a number of genres.
They are suitable for a YA audience but most of my readers so far seem to be adults. They have elements of time-slip and time travel but they aren't generic science fiction adventures. The stories take place across several time periods but I wouldn't identify them as historical fiction, which I often find too dry.
The Darkeningstone books are:
·Time travel for people who don't usually read sci-fi;
·Period drama for people who don't usually read historical fiction;
·A blend of myth and superstition for people who don't usually read fantasy;
·Fast-paced mystery and suspense for people who don't usually read thrillers;
·Richly drawn character-based stories for people who don't usually read literary fiction.
Something for everyone!
What were the challenges in bringing this book to life?
Since The Darkeningstone books have multiple plot lines with the action spanning so much history and with certain intersections between the storylines, the planning is very challenging. It's very important to me that I don't cheat the reader, and so the plots must hang together and make sense. That's not to say that my wok is plot-driven. Yes, the stories must be rich, varied and complex, but it's vital that the characters don't take a backseat. I want the reader to go on a journey with the characters, so I work very hard to give the characters some room to develop and grow. Sometimes, the characters take me in directions I didn't expect and then I have to tear up my carefully made plans and think again. When you're dealing with elements of time-slip, it can be frustrating but hey, that's what I'm here for. I love a good challenge and I hope that it makes for a richer experience for the reader.
Thank you for taking the time to check out my work.I poured my heart and soul into writing this book and I really hope you enjoy reading it. If you do, or if you'd like to ask me anything at all, please stop by and say hello at mikeycampling.com - I always reply.

Mikey was born in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. He was, he says, given very little say in the matter. Some years later, during his first day at school, he discovered the wondrous world that is The Book Corner, and he has never really left it.
Although Mikey grew up in Yorkshire, he refuses to be classified according to Northern stereotypes, which is just the sort of bloody-minded attitude you'd expect from a Yorkshireman.
He now lives in Devon, on the edge of the wilds of Dartmoor, with his wife, two children, and a black Labrador called Lottie who will only bark when she's asleep. And lots and lots of books.

On the subject of writing, Mikey says:
"I love the savage business of writing - it's edgy, exciting and much harder work than everyone thinks."
Now we bring you the anecdote:
Mikey has had lunch with the late Sir Terry Pratchett a couple of times. And you'll be pleased to know that Sir Terry was just as warm and humorous as his books.
