Mark Hastings books, Podcast , , , , , , , ,

In this episode, Mark reads the Prologue: “Mark Mayweather” of his new book ‘The Shadow of The Wolf’ – the sixth book in his The Wolf and The Vampire book series, which focuses on the mother, daughter, wife, werewolf Olivia Hunter – published February 2, 2026.

What’s it about?

Two Wolves Collide.

Sister and brother,
Olivia Hunter and Mark Mayweather –
separated from one another all their lives –
are once again drawn together;
however, their reunion does not unfold
as they hoped it would,
and as a result they find themselves
on opposite sides of a life and death struggle
that will expose who they are, what they are,
and what kind of a werewolf they both are.

And witness the reunification
and the reckoning of the relationship
of Olivia Hunter and Vega – The Vampire King.
Will their love survive the battle being fought
beneath The Shadow of The Wolf?

The Shadow of The Wolf is available to buy from Amazon here: https://amzn.eu/d/5p8DJJF

Scales & George – Out Now

Mark Hastings books, Podcast, Poetry , , , , , , , ,

Meet Scales – a dragon who lives inside a cave, beneath a mountain, in the Land of Mountain Shadow.
Meet George – a brave knight, defender, warrior, and hero to the people of Mountain Shadow.

One day, while resting at home, in his cave, underneath the Earth, Scales is visited by George, who tells him he wishes to slay Scales for the sake of his people. But why? How? And what happened when this dragon and this hero came face to face with one another? Well, the only way to find out is within the story of Scales & George.

I am thrilled to say that my new children’s ‘Scales & George’ is now available to buy on Amazon. This book was a long time in the making, as is the story within. The original story was first published in my short-story and poetry collection Too Close to The Sun in 2016, and then republished again in 2024; however, this new illustrated version, illustrated by me, is how the story was always meant to be enjoyed, because it was always written for a younger audience – though I believe the story can be enjoyed by those of all ages.

And not only can Scales & George be enjoyed in its new paperback form from Amazon, but it can also be listened to on Spotify, and it can also be enjoyed visually on YouTube:

It has been a joy to bring Scales & George to life in a way that I always wanted it to be when I first wrote it 10 years ago, and I hope that it can now be enjoyed as I originally intended it to be.

Life is never a straight path.
Everybody sometimes finds themselves at a crossroads of space and time. Everything and everyone is connected. When life can sometimes feel impossible to understand and hard to navigate, everybody needs to seek out a Pathfinder of poetry
who can help to show them the way.

Hi, everyone!

I am very happy to announce that my new poetry collection, The Pathfinder, is now available to order in paperback from Amazon.

The Pathfinder is a book about beginnings, endings, new beginnings – in essence: life… the poetry of life.

The Pathfinder is my poetic and personal journey of discovery over the last year – but within there are verses and poems from my past that I had forgotten about, which still speak to the poetic truth within me, and within all of us throughout our lives.

Get your copy of the paperback version of The Pathfinder from Amazon now, and look out for the ebook and audiobook versions coming soon.

Enjoy! 😊

I believe that everything happens for a reason, and I believe that the Poetry of Everything that has happened to me is the reason why I am here.

My new poetry collection ‘The Comeback Kid‘ is filled with over a hundred poems about life, light, inspiration, loss, love, experiences, recollections, relationships, feelings, emotions, memories, the path, the journey, the trials and the tribulations that we all have to face to fulfil our destiny.
