M. A. Maddock is an Irish author living in Scotland. She writes epic historical fantasy fiction novels set in Scotland, a place dear to her heart. Packed with action and adventure, The Sixth Amulet - the revised edition of Beyond the Darkness (*please note: Beyond the Darkness is no longer available) - is Book One of The Sixth Amulet series. It blends some historical facts with fiction. Her misfit characters are, to say the least, extremely interesting, exciting and unique, with a strong female presence. This has it all: love, hate, evil, betrayal, loyalty (need I say more?), with plenty of sword action and sorcery thrown into the mix. Also available is the follow-up to The Sixth Amulet - The Moon Chasers (Book Two in the series) - and, after her promise to "step up the action" in the third instalment, the much-anticipated A Flutter on the Wind (Book Three) is now available. Trust us, you're in for one helluva ride! And for all you Audiobook lovers, The Sixth Amulet is now available on Audible and iTunes. It features the extraordinary talent of actor James Dallin Taylor. The audiobook includes a bonus offering from Scottish storyteller and author Graeme Johncock of Scotland's Stories, who provided his voice (and words) for the novel's foreword, which, we agree, is an authentic touch. Also available is the Audiobook of The Moon Chasers. Once again, we're treated to the exceptional talent of James Dallin Taylor, who takes on Maddock's twenty-three characters! This time, the foreword is narrated by one of Scotland's renowned Bards (storyteller and author), Eileen Budd, whose haunting, melodic voice (and words) captures the essence of what is to come. Eileen also narrates the evocative prologue for one of the chapters which introduces us to Siófra, a spectre who haunts the infamous "Whispering Waters" - a scene that will keep you turning the pages. *The Audiobook of A Flutter on the Wind (Book Three) is currently in production and due for release late spring of 2026. In the meantime, Maddock is working on the fourth instalment (untitled) - "I'm interested, and excited, to see how the story will evolve and to discover what's in store for my long-suffering characters. I plan to conclude the story, which will be in two parts. But big books do take time, and, like most of us, we authors also have lives to lead, which can sometimes be challenging, especially when trying to complete a book series. So, please be patient. Book Four is well underway! X" When Miriam isn't writing, she loves to read and to get outdoors to explore nature's offerings by taking in the sights (each trip takes her somewhere new and exciting). "It's great for the little grey cells!" she tells us. But she owes much of her inspiration to her beloved Scotland, where she is now settled near Balloch, where her story is predominantly set. AN IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: "In the current light of the damaging impact of AI within the arts, especially writing, I want to state that my novels are written by me, with the human hand and mind of a genuine creative. My audiobooks are narrated by a human actor. No organisation has the right to use any of my work for the purpose of AI training. As humans, we need to keep the heart and soul of our creative minds alive, by using the imagination we were given." If Historical Fantasy Fiction is your genre, we highly recommend The Sixth Amulet Series for its unique originality. * For Film and TV enquiries, please contact the author via her website or email address ***** PLEASE NOTE: BEYOND THE DARKNESS IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. *****
