About Soon Enough by Magnus Watt
Dan MacLean is about to discover what happens when Death herself takes a personal interest in keeping you alive.
Across Scotland, mysterious deaths are piling up. In the cobbled wynds of Edinburgh, a woman with storm-dark eyes keeps appearing on Dan’s ghost tours. He thought he was just a struggling comedian faking the macabre for tourists – but when ancient fae courts stir from their slumber, and a predator begins the hunt for a key, his life unravels. The worst part? That key might be Dan himself.
Now, armed with sarcasm, a centuries-old trickster, and a colleague who brews terrible tea, Dan must navigate a world where folklore bleeds into reality. But fairy stories don’t always have happy endings – and the Bodach Glas, Death’s herald, is watching.
Blending sharp wit, Scottish folklore, and the haunting atmosphere of Edinburgh, Soon Enough is an urban fantasy that will appeal to fans of Ben Aaronovitch, Neil Gaiman, and Deborah Harkness. Enter the Thin Places—where the veil is fragile, the fae are restless, and survival is never guaranteed.

Author Bio:
Magnus Watt is originally from the Scottish Highlands. After leaving the Highlands, he spent twenty years in Edinburgh before settling in Middlesbrough with his wife and their two young daughters. By day, he works in an office; by night, he performs stand-up comedy under the name Kenny.
Having studied film at university, Magnus writes with a cinematic eye—his stories unfold in short, vivid scenes, full of movement and visual rhythm. He’s fascinated by the places where the strange meets the everyday, where ancient mysteries quietly echo through modern life, and where humour and grief often sit side by side. Drawn to flawed characters and dialogue that feels raw, messy, and real, he brings a grounded humanity to his work.
His debut novel, Soon Enough, was written in the moments between work, bedtime stories, and the unpredictable rhythm of family life. He is now expanding that world through further books, following the story wherever it wants to go.
