A BRAND NEW HOLLYSTONE MYSTERY JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!

Star-crossed lovers from feuding families
A fallen priest forged in fire
A fairy godmother you’ll want for your own
And a heartfelt Christmas wish

TO FORGE A FAMILY IS URBAN FANTASY WITH SHADES OF ROMEO AND JULIET, SET NEAR LEGENDARY ASHFORD CASTLE IN CONTEMPORARY IRELAND.

*This story answers the question: Whatever happened to Maggie Taylor after To Charm a Killer? And fits sweetly between Books 1 & 2.

We’re thrilled to announce that W. L. Hawkin’s upcoming historical novel was shortlisted for the HNS 2026 First Chapters Competition. The Rum Runs Red was inspired by True Crime — the murders of Bill Gillis and his seventeen-year-old son aboard the Beryl G. The book is set in British Columbia during American Prohibition (1924).

The Rum Runs Red is a fast-paced tale of deception, greed, found love, and redemption, set against the backdrop of the Roaring Twenties.
