Lochbound

An enthralling tale of magic, myth and mystery, where nothing can be taken at face value and in which the complexities of the human heart are laid bare, as true love battles to conquer all. I thoroughly enjoyed losing myself within the magical pages of this inspired debut. * Anita Frank, author of THE GOOD LIARS *A beautiful story filled with lore and longing and a unique twist on the mermaid tale [and] wonderfully embedded in its Scottish setting * Sunyi Dean, author of THE BOOKEATERS *Brilliantly atmospheric and richly imagined, this is a unique and refreshing take on The Little Mermaid that will whisk you away to eighteenth century Scotland and make you wonder what may be hiding beneath still waters… * Ellis Hunter, author of BLOOD BOUND *Lochbound is a compelling dark fairy tale for grown-ups. Templeton turns the Little Mermaid myth on its head, and uses it to examine the monstrous behaviour humans are capable of in the name of love. * Laura Shepperson, author of THE HEROINES *Brilliantly atmospheric and richly imagined, this is a unique and refreshing take on The Little Mermaid that will whisk you away to eighteenth century Scotland and make you wonder what may be hiding beneath still waters… * Ellis Hunter, author of BLOOD BOUND *Rebecca Templeton delivers a dark fairytale that beautifully evokes the wilds of the Scottish landscape and the nature of monstrosity in her twisty reimagining of The Little Mermaid * Jennifer Saint, author of ARIADNE *Gorgeously dark with twists that kept me gripped until the end * Heather Darwent, author of THE THINGS WE DO TO OUR FRIENDS *

Rebecca Templeton has had a love of books from a very early age and had lofty childhood aspirations of being a writer, though she ended up joining the legal profession instead. When her husband encouraged her to start writing again, she rediscovered her creative outlet and hasn’t looked back since.

When not writing or working, Rebecca can usually be found crocheting giant blankets, baking or watching Gilmore Girls. She is also owned by a couple of very energetic children.
