Linzi Day

In Gateway terminology, a "Code Yellow" signifies a missing person. King Troels plans to hide in Yggdrasil, the sacred Viking Tree, so the Recorder cannot summon him. But forty-one years of suppressed fury is about to burst out of Niki McKnight after the Vikings' treatment of Rollo. Her lava-hot rage and desire for justice on behalf of all the women who filed petitions against the former King, sets our key characters off on a new path. The resulting power struggles in Viking bring new faces and fresh problems into the Gateway but Dola and Finn have their own issues. The stakes are heightened further during the inaugural meeting of Breanna's hilariously unconventional royal book club, while Aysha faces an unexpected predicament with Autumn. In Code Yellow in Gretna Green, Niki discovers what happens when a furious Recorder is pushed too far and heads into Angry Town.

It’s never too late to learn how to stand up for yourself Niki McKnight has spent her entire adult life being bullied—first by her husband and then by her boss.

She and Tilly, her adorable Bichon Frise, head to Scotland to claim her inheritance with no freaking clue what’s in store for them. In Gretna Green, they meet a colourful cast of characters, including a sentient house, talking cat, Celtic god, Fae king and a sketchy lawyer. Can the woman who wouldn’t stand up to her husband and was bullied by her boss find and wield the authority required to keep Vikings, Pict and Fae royalty in line? With the help of her family’s psychic gift and some magic - she just might! MidLife in Gretna Green is perfect for readers who’d enjoy a funny, upbeat story in a magical house about a woman who wants to find and use her own voice and finally claim her power.

She was a registrar who married thousands of people in her former job—this will be a breeze ... Right? Wrong! The bondings don’t quite go to plan. Cue hilarity, heartbreak and mysterious magical prophecies for some of our favourite characters. Niki's goddaughter Autumn is visiting, and her heart's desires are to ride a unicorn and be a bridesmaid for the first time. So no pressure then! And there are mysteries to solve: Why is the Recorder forbidden from bonding the members of an entire race? Why is Prince Charming Dai, her childhood crush, suddenly avoiding her? Why were so many bondmates trying to deceive her gran? Why is Dola sending everyone gifts? Why are there no doughnuts, brownies or other sugary goodness? But in what's supposed to be the busiest week of the Gateway's year, Niki finally has some time on her hands to sort her own life out. Even if she still can't manage to get her hair cut.
