News & announcements.

Book Two of The Runekeeper Chronicles has completed distribution set-up and can now be ordered by any bookshop or library, anywhere in the world. The paperback (ISBN 9781066755721) is already listed by Waterstones and Blackwell’s, and the hardback (ISBN 9781911896289) by Blackwell’s and Barnes & Noble. Both editions can also be bought direct from the publisher — £8.99 for the paperback and £15.99 for the hardback, our best prices. With The Runes of Dunross and The Printer’s Apprentice already in bookshop channels, every Dunross Press novel is now available wherever books are sold.

The second book in The Runekeeper Chronicles was published on 21 September 2026. Five weeks after the destruction of Dunross House, Violet MacLeod is learning what it means to be a Runekeeper — until one of the runes begins to glow red, and an ancient agreement between the people of Glen Torran and the mountain above them begins to fail. The Fire Beneath is a middle-grade fantasy for readers aged 9–12 (paperback, £9.99, 253 pages, ISBN 9781066755721) and is available now from Amazon. Distribution through IngramSpark is being set up, after which any bookshop or library will be able to order it.

Dunross Press Classics has grown to three titles. Jane Austen’s Emma and Charles Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities join Bram Stoker’s Dracula in the line, each reissued with an original, extended introduction essay by Thomas T Wedow. Both new titles are available in paperback (£15.99, ISBN 9781066755745 for Emma and 9781911896029 for A Tale of Two Cities) and hardback (£19.99, ISBN 9781066755752 and 9781911896036), and can be ordered directly from the publisher.

The Printer’s Apprentice has completed distribution set-up with IngramSpark and can now be ordered by any bookshop or library, anywhere in the world. Both editions are available to the trade — the paperback (ISBN 9781066755769, £12.99) and the hardback (ISBN 9781066755776, £21.99) — alongside Amazon and direct ordering from the publisher’s printer. With The Runes of Dunross already in bookshop channels, both Dunross Press novels are now genuinely available wherever books are sold, rather than on Amazon alone. A bookseller sell sheet for the title is available here.

The Printer's Apprentice returns in a substantially rewritten edition — the first published under the Dunross Press imprint. The story of the Ellwood press on Pudding Lane is now told in two hands, Anne the printer's daughter and Thomas his apprentice, and carries new material drawn from the London of 1665–66: the coffee-houses and counting-houses, the bills of mortality, the scholars at Trinity taking sunlight apart with prisms, and the clerk of the Navy Office who wrote everything down. Paperback ISBN 9781066755769, hardback ISBN 9781066755776. The hidden ciphers remain — but they have been rebuilt for this edition, so readers who cracked the old ones will need to begin again.

Dunross Press has unveiled new cover artwork for The Runes of Dunross: A Storm Is Coming and The Printer's Apprentice. The Runes cover now leads with a lightning-struck headland and the house at Dunross in silhouette above the sea, while The Printer's Apprentice sets its two young figures against a burning London skyline. Both have been redrawn in standard trade proportions so they read clearly at thumbnail size online and hold their own face-out on a bookshop table. The new artwork is live across thomastwedow.com and will follow through to retail listings as the editions update.

Dunross Press has launched Dunross Press Classics, a new line reissuing beloved works of classic literature — each featuring an original, extended introduction essay by Thomas T Wedow. The first title, Bram Stoker's Dracula, is available now in paperback and hardback directly from the publisher.

The Runes of Dunross: A Storm Is Coming is now listed by Waterstones, the UK's largest bookshop chain. Readers can order the paperback (ISBN 9781066755707, £9.99) through waterstones.com or any Waterstones branch — a significant step onto the UK high street.

The Runes of Dunross: A Storm Is Coming has been approved by IngramSpark and is now distributed internationally. The paperback (ISBN 9781066755707) can be ordered by any bookshop or library, and is already appearing with online retailers around the world — from the UK to the US and beyond. A major milestone: the book is no longer simply "on Amazon," but genuinely available wherever books are sold.

Author Thomas T Wedow has launched Dunross Press, an independent imprint publishing fantasy, historical fiction, and adventure stories. Based in Bath, England, the press brings Wedow's growing catalogue under one banner — beginning with the Runes of Dunross series and the standalone historical mystery The Printer's Apprentice.

The Runes of Dunross: A Storm Is Coming is the first book in The Runekeeper Chronicles, a new middle-grade fantasy series. Work is now underway on Book Two, The Runes of Dunross: The Fire Beneath, continuing Violet MacLeod's story — expected later this year.

The magic in A Storm Is Coming is invented — the witch trials at its heart were not. In 1590, King James VI became convinced that witches had summoned storms to wreck his fleet as he sailed home with his bride, Anne of Denmark. The trials that followed claimed dozens of lives. Wedow asks: what if some of those accused women were real — and their power came not from the devil, but from the land and sea itself?

Every symbol Violet doodles in the margins of her notebook is drawn from genuine Norse and Celtic runes. The power they unlock is fiction; the shapes themselves carry centuries of meaning.

Dunross House and its storm-lashed headland are fictional, but the landscape is not. The setting draws on stretches of the Scottish coast the author has walked — "where you can stand on a headland and feel the weight of centuries in the wind."

A Storm Is Coming is upper middle-grade fiction (ages 9–13) — perfect for young readers who love atmospheric adventure in the spirit of Katherine Rundell, A.F. Steadman, and Sophie Anderson.

Sharp-eyed readers are still hunting the hidden ciphers woven through The Printer's Apprentice. The clues are there for those willing to look — and prizes await whoever cracks them.

Sharp-eyed readers have already begun hunting for the hidden ciphers in The Printer's Apprentice. The first cipher awaits those brave enough to look beyond the surface of the text.

Observant readers have discovered that the back pages of The Printer's Apprentice contain more than meets the eye. The hunt for hidden messages continues.

The Printer's Apprentice has officially launched on Amazon. Set against the backdrop of plague and fire in 1665-1666 London, the novel follows Anne Ellwood through a city of secrets and conspiracy.
