It is ten years since the first publication of my debut novel The Incomers. During that time many readers have read and loved the book and it is still selling and being enjoyed by new readers. Ten years is a long time for a novel to remain in print with the original publisher and the time seemed right to ask for my copyright back.
I am delighted to publish The Incomers through my own imprint Trilleachan Press. Although I love the original cover by Thomas Crielly, the novel needed a new cover. The Incomers is set in the fictional Fife village of Hollyburn. Hollyburn also features in Before Now, my last novel, so it seemed a sensible move to create a brand promoting the link between the two novels and a Hollyburn Series of books on Amazon’s market place.
Paperback copies of The Incomers can be purchased here from Amazon for the new price of £6.99, (Kindle £1.99).
Signed copies can be ordered direct from me for £10.00 (Inc P&P) using the contact form on this site.
Moira McPartlin’s debut novel The Incomers, published by Fledgling Press in 2012, was shortlisted for the Saltire Society First Book of the Year Award. Over the next seven years Moira wrote her speculative fiction, Sun Song Trilogy novels (also published by Fledgling Press). The novels, set in 2089, reflect many issues we face today. Moira’s last novel, Before Now: Memoir of a Toerag, is written entirely in the Fife dialect and was published by her own imprint, Trilleachan Press, in May 2021.
In 2021 she became a writing fellow at Hawthornden Castle. In 2022 she was appointed the Scriever for The Federation of Writers (Scotland), and in 2024 was the recipient of a Bridges Award, a residency at Cove Park, Argyll. Her short stories and poetry have been widely published in literary magazines and anthologies.
Moira’s latest publication, A Thing So Delicate: The Hidden Voices of Scotland’s Mass Concrete Viaducts, is a collaboration with her husband, Colin. It is a hybrid about the social history surrounding the building of Scotland’s Victorian mass concrete viaducts. This includes creative nonfiction, prose, poetry, and photography.
Moira is listed on the Scottish Book Trust Live Literature Database.
