Painting the Blues in Gretna Green
The second book in the Midlife Recorder series
My powers are growing, and my tolerance is low. My second week in my new role as the Gretna Green Recorder is making the first week look relaxing.
I have quite the to-do list.
✅ Fix a thousand-year-old injustice that threatens the future of the Pictish royal family and their realm? Check.
✅ Test my new Knight Adjutant candidates? Check.
✅ Discover one of those candidates is the guy I had a huge crush on when I was twelve? Oh yeah. Check.
❌ Feed the cat? No, she’s not hungry—which is worrying, very worrying.
❓ Prevent a bloodbath? Let’s freaking hope so.
Niki McKnight is settling in as the new Recorder in the Gretna Gateway in Scotland. She’s joined by the usual colourful cast of magical beings. Celtic, Fae and Viking royalty all have their own agendas, but none more so than the Pictish royal family.
Magic, psychic powers, a stroppy, condescending cat goddess, and lots of coffee smooth the way.
Niki plans to make her gran proud by reminding everyone that kings and queens are ten-a-penny in the seven realms, but there is ONLY one Recorder, and now she has more power than anyone expected.
Painting the Blues in Gretna Green is perfect for readers who’d enjoy an uplifting story with cozy paranormal fantasy elements. Set in a sentient Scottish house with a woman who needs to learn to wield her increased powers before lives are lost.

If you like the midlife paranormal genre, I highly recommend this book. The next one cannot come soon enough for me!
The characters are well thought out and engaging and the storyline is far more interesting and complex than a lot of books of a similar genre.
I was gripped from the first page and couldn’t put it down … gutted when I reached the end
A page turner. Cannot wait for the next instalment.
Fast read with lots of laugh-out-loud moments.
If you want to read about an adult, midlife woman finding her courage and losing her fears, read this book! Totally enjoyable reading … It’s the end of Sept 2022 and I’m breathlessly awaiting book 2.
This is the kind of story that makes you want to take off work early so you can keep reading it.
One of those books I was sad to finish
