Forced to take refuge among her enemies, she must navigate the icy politics of the owl king’s court and uncover the truth about her mother’s mysterious ties to the tribes. Teaming up with old friends and unexpected allies, Freya embarks on a daring journey to unravel the mystery behind the predator stalking her and stop the forces threatening to destroy everything she holds dear.

Time is running out, the peace is crumbling, and Freya must find the courage to stand tall. Can she unite the tribes—or will she become the next victim of an ancient curse?


About the Author:

Clemency is a primary teacher in the tip-top north of Scotland, who enjoys reading middle grade adventures as much as she loves writing them.

Growing up in North Lincolnshire, in an old, haunted farmhouse, she developed her imagination from a young age. The garden provided not only plenty of opportunities for play and den building, but a chance to observe the wildlife, which gave rise to her series Feather Down.

When she moved to Caithness at the age of 16, she took her love of birds, nature and writing with her, beginning to develop her abilities as an author.

Clemency began a degree in Astronomy several years ago which she is slowly completing part-time. She has used the knowledge gained from her studies to write books such as “Tour of the Solar System: Not just the 8 planets” and plans to publish many more science books for children.

When Clemency is not writing, she is either gardening, playing with her two energetic spaniels, or looking after her quail and chickens, the latter of which has discovered a new hobby: escape from the coop and raid the orchard Viking-style.

Her upcoming book, Doorway to the Sunset, is the sequel to Taking Wing, and is due to be published by Crowvus on the 4th July 2025.

Book Description:

From Jamaica's greatest marketplace comes an unforgettable story of survival, finally told as it was meant to be.

At ninety years old, acclaimed author Barrington Wright presents the definitive edition of "Asleep in Coronation Market"—a powerful tale of youth, resilience, and hope set in the heart of Kingston, Jamaica. After fighting to reclaim his story from misrepresentation, Wright returns with this authorized edition, complete with a new introduction that reveals the remarkable journey behind the book.
 
This gripping narrative follows a young boy navigating life in Jamaica's largest marketplace, where every shadow holds a story and every dawn brings new challenges. Wright's masterful storytelling transforms the bustling Coronation Market into a vivid world of danger and unexpected kindness, drawing readers into an unforgettable journey of survival.

Originally written when Wright was 80, this semi-autobiographical novel captures the authentic pulse of Jamaica with stunning clarity. Now, a decade later, the author's new introduction adds another layer to this already rich narrative, offering insights into his own extraordinary path as an octogenarian author fighting to share his truth with the world.

About the Author:

BARRINGTON WRIGHT is a native Jamaican. In this novel, he is your tour guide through a segment of Jamaica's overgrown pathway to freedom, where some people were trapped at the bottom of the social pyramid. His path through prevailing experiences on Jamaican plantations and the social environment of Coronation Market is lit by reflection and imagination. He obtained his formal education in Kingston, London, Montreal and in New York City, where he received a postgraduate degree in Public Administration. He retired from public service as Assistant Commissioner at New York City's Department of Housing Preservation and Development. His writing confirms that he retains his interest in complex social issues and his sense of humor.

It’s the summer of 1944 as Dotty and Abe arrive at the bustling Concord Hotel in the heart of the Catskill Mountains’ famous Borscht Belt. They are eager to start their new jobs as waitress and busboy but soon discover that serving demanding diners and dealing with unruly guests—including Abe’s impossible-to-please mother—is the least of their worries.

Rumors swirl that a notorious Murder, Inc. gangster has hidden a fortune in cash somewhere in the area. As Dotty and Abe are swept into the race to discover the whereabouts of the legendary loot, they find themselves dodging more than just grumpy guests. With dangerous characters lurking around every corner, the duo must stay one step ahead if they want to keep their future in the mountains from crumbling.

Will Dotty and Abe hit the jackpot, or will they become the next victims of a deadly game?

“Mrs. Maisel meets Agatha Christie in this engaging debut!” ~New York Times bestselling author Wendy Corsi Staub

“This book is such a treat. Banquets and Bootleg Bounty is a fantastically fun romp through the height of the Catskills with spot-on historical accuracy. Author Lily Barrish Levner gives readers a bird’s eye view of the dining rooms at the Concord, with a dash of romance and a side of danger. Grab a bowl of matzo ball soup and enjoy the ride!” ~ Meredith Schorr, author of As Seen on TV

“It’s really great that the golden era of the Catskills is remembered. This book brought back a flood of memories.” ~Steve White, Concord tennis pro/Arthur Winarick’s great-nephew

“Lily Barrish Levner captures the Catskill Mountains of 1944 with love and longing for a by-gone era in this triumphant debut. Banquets and Bootleg Bounty is more delicious than Shabbat dinner at the Concord Hotel.”~ Marilyn Rothstein, author of Crazy to Leave You

“If you want a taste of delicious food the Concord served to its guests while experiencing the thrill of a dining room mystery in the Catskills, it’s time to read Lily Barrish Levner’s debut novel, Banquets & Bootleg Bounty.”~ Patti Posner, author of My View From the Mountains

“Mystery meets History in this engaging debut!” ~ New York Times bestselling author Wendy Corsi Staub


About the Author:

Lily Barrish Levner comes from a family that cherished books and learning—her mother was a schoolteacher, and her father was the director of the Monticello library, so it’s no surprise that storytelling has always been a part of her life. Growing up in Kiamesha Lake, New York, Lily spent her childhood sleuthing around the iconic Catskills resorts with friends and soaking up the vibrant atmosphere. Her grandparents worked in the resort industry, a connection that inspires her stories.

As a fourth-generation Jewish American, Lily deeply connects to the Catskill Mountains and the Borscht Belt, where her heritage and childhood memories blend. Her fondest recollections are tied to places like the Concord, Kutsher’s, the Pines, the Raleigh, and Sunny Oaks bungalow colony—sites that have left an indelible mark on her writing.

With a BA in Creative Writing and a Master’s in Library and Information Science, Lily has spent the past decade as a copy desk researcher at Bloomberg Businessweek while working on her novel and contributing monthly articles to the Hurleyville Sentinel. She currently lives in the Catskills with her husband and their dog, Gus, where the magic of the mountains still influences her work. 

Stay tuned for the further adventures of Dotty and Abe when Book 2 of the Catskills Capers series is published in the summer of 2025.
