News & Events

Kirkland Ciccone had a big cover reveal at 1200 today for his forthcoming 3rd novel, North of Porter.

We thought we’d join in. If you’re reading this, you’ve already seen it. A belated ‘Tada!’ to you.

It’s less than a month now until the book itself makes an appearance. (Oooh.) And exactly 32 days and nights until the official launch event at Waterstones in Glasgow’s Argyle Street. (Yay.)

So what’s it all about? Well it goes like this:

Aliens.

Abductions.

Genuine designer bags.

Teenager Porter Minter arrives in Castlecrankie in a car that has no door handles. In the boot is a suitcase. In the suitcase is a boy. In the boy is the future and the past.

The Armpit of the Universe wasn’t Porter’s destination of choice, and he’s shocked by what he finds there. Teenagers are disappearing. JFK is skulking in the schoolyard. Crop circles are appearing.

Perhaps Porter and his scheming parents aren’t the town’s only new arrivals.

Armed only with a genuine designer bag and his razor-sharp wit, Porter sets out to confront evil…and look fabulous.
