A snippet from one of my (many) WIPs. The Hill: The Chronicles of Jackson Matthews book 1. There’s a story behind this scene, and the character, Davis. But it would take too long to tell.

Decided it was time for a Lock Screen change. I absolutely adore this artwork. The colour of Jack’s wings is gorgeous. This piece was crafted by @azshure.bsky.social. There’s another version of Jack Beckett I need to get, but…*spoilers* 🤫

Hey, hey! My all time favourite character is in this one!!!

Jack the Ripper is the villain in the Best Nightmare series, and I’ve been dying to tell his origin story.

Along with Jack the Ripper, there are many more deliciously evil villains to swoon over in V.

Keep your peepers peeled!! 👀

Today's affirmation:

Rest is not quitting. It’s strategic self-preservation, thank you very much.

Remember to relax the space between your ears. And as always, drink your fucking water.

I usually go to my sister-in-law for book recommendations. We tend to have the same taste in books, and she hasn’t led me astray…yet. 🤣

Readers: How do you decide what book you want to read? Do you read reviews? Do you have a trusted friend who gives you recommendations? Do you look for specific subgenres or tropes?

Dropped off three copies of The Cursed of Atharia to local authors, Alex Hickey, Ida Linehan Young, and Jay McGrath. They’ve all been big supporters, and I wanted to repay their kindness. 💚

I’m blown away. 21 in coming of age fantasy? Last time I checked it was 85. I am amazed beyond words. I don’t know what to say, other than thank you.

The Cursed of Atharia is now available on Amazon. Perfect for fans of fantasy, adventure, action, with a splash of drama and romance.

(I don’t know why the link is saying Katy Perry. But it leads to the book)

As I tumble through this simulation
The game we call Life
I seek to transcend this earthly coil
To ponder the inner workings
Of the universe
Where stars collide
Where instance contracts
To find enlightenment
And escape finality’s grip

Deep in the Den
Wrapped in tender embrace
Souls seek surrender
As two become one
The gods only know
How we came to be
Entangled within the web
Of the universe’s design
Come with me
And believe
We can be more than
What our minds conceive

I’m proud of this cover. It’s simple and elegant. And it adds a fiery flare to my phone’s Lock Screen. I can’t wait to hold it in my hands, to have it on my shelf.

Six days, Jack. Six days.

I’m sorry I haven’t been active. Been in a really bad mental state lately and needed a break from social media. But I have a book coming out this week, and I really need to promote it more. Six days left.

In exactly one month The Cursed of Atharia becomes a real book. I’m beyond excited…and more than a little stressed. When this book releases I’m taking a three month writing break.

It gives me immense pleasure to finally reveal the cover for Atharian Chronicles 1: The Cursed of Atharia.

Many tears went into making this book a reality, and I couldn’t be happier that Jack and the gang found a home with @shadowsparkpub.bsky.social.

Sorry I haven’t been active. It’s been a crazy couple of months. But next week The Cursed of Atharia goes on pre-order. It’s my own fault for feeling unprepared, but hopefully I’ll know better for next time.

Favourite all-time book character? That’s a tough one.

Someone else’s: Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector Nick Myra (belonging to Helen C. Escott)

Of mine: Jack the Ripper
