AS part of his World Book Signing Tour of the South-West, Somerset author Justin Newland will sign copies of his novel, The Genes of Isis, at WH Smith in Newton Abbot, from 10am on Saturday, May 14.

Justin describes The Genes of Isis (ISBN 1789014867) as a mythological thriller set under Ancient Egyptian skies, and is a modern re-telling of the Biblical story of the flood.

It features Akasha, a young woman on a spiritual journey of discovery from maiden to mother and from apprentice to priestess.

Justin writes secret histories in which real events and historical personages are guided and motivated by numinous forces - that’s history with a supernatural twist. 

Justin will be on hand to ‘scribble’ his name and a personalised dedication on this book and his other novels: The Old Dragon’s Head, The Coronation and The Abdication.

Justin appears at literary festivals, gives library talks and radio interviews. He lives with his partner in plain sight of the Mendip Hills.
