Eight tales of magic, mayhem, and midlife empowerment from the world of the Recorder.

Welcome back to Gretna Green, where the tea is hot—even when it’s coffee—the dragons are hotter, and the cosy fantasy chaos never ends.

Join Niki McKnight and her irrepressible team at the Recorder’s Office as they uncover secrets, meet a dragonet, and commit the occasional righteous murder—with plenty of laughter, loyalty, and a splash of uisge beatha for courage.

From ancient graveyards to modern royal birthdays, Gretna Green has never been busier. In this sparkling collection, Niki puts the "tea" in team when the royals and the Gateway crew spill every last drop of magical mayhem, heartfelt humour, and Recorder-style justice.

Find out how Dola met our favourite Celtic king and became the sentient house we all know and love in Memories.


Follow Mabon and Niki’s investigations in Secrets of the Dead, where clues from the magical graveyard lead to even more confusion, drag old mysteries back into the light, and raise new questions—along with a few answers.

In St George’s Day, Niki finally opens that infamous blue letter from the kitchen drawer before joining forces with Rhiannon to unravel ancient prophecies.

Join Niki on a road trip south in Gretna Green Goes to Manchester.

Discover the birth of the Pictish realm in Somewhere Only Sheep Know (also known as The Winter Gate).

Celebrate Caitlin’s unforgettable twenty-fifth birthday in The Blade Queen, where tradition meets a surprise party—and unexpected husbands.

And finally, enjoy The Valkyries Are Flying—a novella so long many authors would call it a short book. A riotous tale of justice, joy, and long-overdue retribution. Having the Fae, the Celts, the Picts and the Hobs on your side can sway a decision nicely. And prove that sometimes murder really is a team sport.

Pour yourself a cuppa—or a wee dram—and escape once more to a happy place.

Spilling the Tea in Gretna Green includes, if not gossip, at least information that some evildoers would prefer stayed hidden throughout its six novellas and two short stories.

Please note this also includes “House Party” which was previously published as a single novella.
