For next few days, I’m publishing one teaser image per day from my upcoming short documentary A Thorn in Winter: A Look Inside, ahead of its release on YouTube next Friday. This documentary provides an introduction to the story of the novel (without major spoilers). It features an interview with me, a look at some of the locations in southwest England where the story is set, and a few dramatic recreations set to readings from the text.
These teaser images are frame grabs from the documentary. Most of these are zoomed in a little or a lot, so you’re not quite seeing the whole picture, and there’s more of a “tease” to it (in the same way I offered a tease preview of a section of the novel cover before revealing it in full).
Here’s the first teaser image: A Dutch angle of a church building.

My new supernaturally tinged mystery thriller novel, A Thorn in Winter, is out now! I’m thrilled to finally share this nail-biter with you, and I hope you find it suitably page-turning.
Here’s a bit of a plot tease, from the back cover:
Bored council worker Leila is restless in her marriage. Secretly relieved by the sudden death of her husband’s best friend, who’d been blackmailing her over an affair she’d had with a local TV news presenter, she is alarmed to discover a link between the blackmail and a decades-old unsolved murder. What’s more, she bears an uncanny resemblance to the victim.
With the affair still threatening to destroy her marriage, an encounter with a tarot card reader pushes Leila into further investigation. With every discovery she makes, Leila becomes less certain who she can trust. A myriad of secrets lie along her perilous path to a terrifying truth that could cost her life.
Also, for good measure, here’s the bio about yours truly, also from the back cover:
Simon Dillon is a prolific author, primarily of thriller and horror novels including Death Nest, The Irresistible Summons, Spectre of Springwell Forest, and his latest, A Thorn in Winter. An avid advocate of page-turning mystery and suspense, he lives in southwest England with his wife and children, deriving endless inspiration from his surroundings, local history, folklore, and mythology. When he’s not exploring the moors and coasts or submerged in a book, he’s probably at the cinema.
Over the next few weeks on this site, there will be further articles exploring different aspects of the novel, excerpts, and even a short documentary exploring this novel in more detail (but without spoilers). Watch this space.
Paperbacks and ebooks of A Thorn in Winter are now available directly from my publisher, Ring of Culture. Additional retail outlets will follow later, but for now, you can order the novel here.
