Fiction by J J Noad

Stories shaped by memory, mystery, place and the truths people try to hide

The Echoes Mysteries

Stories of memory, altered reality and hidden events, connected across different periods of Blackpool’s past and present.

Fractured Echoes

People disappear. Days repeat. Blackpool begins to rewrite itself.

Mick Holden and journalist Alice Whittaker follow the disturbance back to 1895, where the past may hold the reason the present is coming apart.
