I have some very exciting news to share! This weekend, I will be trading at the Leeds Steampunk Market for the very first time as Paranormal Author Catherine Green. It was a late entry for me, but as soon as the opportunity came up, I jumped at the chance to join this unique and wonderfully quirky event.

If you’re in or around West Yorkshire and love all things steampunk, gothic, and paranormal, then come along and join the fun. I’ll be there on Sunday only, but the event runs all weekend, so there’s plenty to see and do.

A Paranormal Twist in a Steampunk World

The Leeds Steampunk Market isn’t your average craft fair or book stall. This is a fantastical celebration of Victorian-inspired creativity with a modern twist – the perfect setting for my paranormal and urban fantasy novels. Expect to find a diverse array of independent traders, artists, authors, and performers. The atmosphere is always vibrant, filled with top hats, corsets, pocket watches, mechanical contraptions, and more than a little eccentricity.

This year’s event takes place at the Calderdale Industrial Museum in Halifax, a location that oozes character and industrial heritage. It’s the perfect backdrop for steampunk storytelling and Gothic literature – right up my street!

As SpookyMrsGreen and an author of supernatural fiction, I feel right at home among this wonderfully weird and welcoming crowd.

Meet the Redcliffe Novels Series

At my stall, you’ll find my full Redcliffe novels series, set in a fictional Cornish seaside town that hides some very dark secrets beneath its picturesque surface. The stories follow the life of Jessica Stone, a bookshop owner who discovers the supernatural world through her entanglements with a vampire boyfriend and his identical twin brother – who just so happens to be the alpha werewolf of the Redcliffe pack.

The Redcliffe novels explore themes of love, lust, loyalty, and power. They feature vampires, werewolves, witches, and a touch of polyamorous romance as Jessica’s world spirals into the unknown. It’s a mix of Gothic atmosphere and urban fantasy with British charm and a distinctly coastal vibe.

Whether you’re discovering the series for the first time or looking to complete your collection, I’ll have all six books available to purchase. Come and chat with me about your favourite characters, ask questions, or simply share your love for paranormal romance – I’m always happy to connect with readers!

Don’t Miss My Vampire Hunters

Alongside the Redcliffe series, I will also have copies of my vampire hunter novels, including Vampire of Blackpool and Return of the Vampire Hunter. These stories are a little darker, a little more mysterious, and feature characters who operate on the edges of society – battling vampires in gritty British towns and cities.

I’m particularly excited to share some behind-the-scenes details about my next vampire hunter book, which is due for publication later this year. This new story features a vampire hunter from Yorkshire – a character I’m especially fond of because they bring a no-nonsense Northern energy to the world of supernatural investigation. I’ll be dropping some teasers on Sunday, so if you’re curious, come and ask me about it in person!

Haunted Dolls and Ghost Stories

You may also know me from my adventures in real-life paranormal investigation. I’ve been working with haunted dolls, communicating with spirits using dowsing rods, spirit boxes, and REM pods. Some of those tales may find their way into future fiction, but for now, I’ll be more than happy to share spooky stories with anyone brave enough to ask.

There’s something about events like this – the vintage clothing, the industrial setting, the buzz of creative energy – that lends itself beautifully to ghost stories. If you’re intrigued by the supernatural, I’d love to talk about it with you.

Why I Love Events Like This

For me, book signings and markets aren’t just about sales. They’re about connection. I love meeting people who enjoy paranormal fiction as much as I do, who want to chat about their favourite vampire films or who have a secret soft spot for the werewolf underdog. I’ve met some truly wonderful people at events like this, and I always come away feeling creatively inspired and energised.

And let’s be honest – any excuse to dress up in a velvet cloak and wear a corset is a win in my book!

Come and Say Hello – Just on Sunday!

Due to personal commitments, I can only trade on the Sunday, but I’m looking forward to a full, fun day of meeting readers and fellow spooky souls. I hope to attend a full weekend event soon – fingers crossed for later this year!

There will be so much to see and do – entertainment, shopping, talks, and demonstrations. Bring your curiosity, your steampunk attire, and your love for the unusual. This is more than a market – it’s a community, a celebration of creativity, and a place where the paranormal feels perfectly at home.

See you there?
