The Tales of Barnley Forest: The Golden Child
Oliver Clawfoot holds the esteemed title of Border Crosser – the last of his kind. But what begins as a short trip across the border, quickly turns into disaster…

"I picked this up from The author’s newsletter, and it was well worth the click. This prequel to Crossfire is a great introduction of Clara and Declan. Witty, great banter and some heart wrenching moments is typical of Jem McCusker’s writing. This is only a short read, but I would have loved it to be double its length! Really entertaining and the author has nailed the period and fantasy setting. Highly recommend."
Jo Seysener - Author

"I can't wait to read more of Declan and Clara's story. This short story from Jem McCusker had the right mix of magic, suspense and romance. I absolutely love Celtic/British settings so the Stonehenge element was right up my alley. The short story is free on Amazon right now and Crossfire (Declan and Clara's full story) comes out soon."
