WESTERN LIGHTS NUMBER SEVEN IS ON THE WAY

What I Found at Hoole, the highly-anticipated seventh book in the Western Lights series, is in press and will be published by Gresham & Doyle in fall 2012. Its narrator is Ingram Somervell, the anonymous fellow coach-passenger to whom Oliver Langley related the story of The House in the High Wood, the 2001 Locus Award-nominated second volume of the Western Lights series.

In the new work Mr. Somervell tells his own story of a journey into the wild, rugged uplands of Ayleshire, to the village of Hoole, to inspect some property bequeathed to him by an uncle he had never met. "I wondered what I should find at Hoole," he muses at the close of The House in the High Wood. "I trusted it would be nothing half so monstrous as Mr. Oliver Langley had run upon in Shilston Upcot . . ."
