It’s been a short rest between cons… but I’m about to re-pack.

Bristol was amazing. Thank you to everyone who came, it may have been smaller than usual, but it was still perfectly formed.
If I didn’t get to say hi, let’s try to next year!

It’s coming in for spooky season… and I have a cosy, witch novella about a group who lose their familiars, just before the intervillage games…

Trouble is brewing in Unfamiliared, with a few soggy boots!

See this face? And this shell?

Cariad has once again found the snail out of the tank… and nursed it until I realised he had it, and put it back in!

As for the ‘innocent’ in this situation. I only took the coaster off the open tank corner last night!

I had a chance to catch up with the Southern Selkie pack in person on Friday. It’s great to see they are doing so well. Gar sends his love to all his fans.

Where to find me next month. It’s going to be a busy one, especially with a book to edit too!

Hmm, I’m not sure she is a fan of that last paragraph

Good morning, it’s midsummer, and I wonder if the selkies dance today?

I got locked out!!

But I’m back.

Want so see some
Pretty Gates art? Of course you do.
(All artwork is in one of the books!)
Meet the Charvers… tiny, ferociously protective, fiercely loyal, cousins of dragons.

Streeeeeetch and chew!

How am I supposed to write the bad guy POV with this situation going on? It’s entirely too wholesome to get into the appropriate headspace!

Sometimes, when it’s been a while since I look at my debut book, I forget how beautiful the chapter header art is. 😍

It makes me want to write more selkie tales, just to get more excuse for art

I feel it would be remiss of me not to remind you that I have beautiful special editions with @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social
And they still have some in stock!!

If you like epic fantasy with animal companions, dragons and a world you can lose yourself in…

Hey… it’s Valentine’s Day.
And I write non romantic fantasy.

But I had a good think about how many tropes I could technically still apply!
Happy valentines 😂

I do a lot of shouting about Gates because it’s in SPFBOX, and not enough about the other series’.

Anyway, for no particular reason…

Here’s me at Glasgow 2024 releasing Unfamiliared, which is a cosy escape of a novella.
It’s full of witches and animals a magical sports day, and missing magic.

If I hadn’t known… I wouldn’t know this was the same dog I left this morning!

She even smells very fragrant. Quite floral. And she is soooo soft!

My Nanne would probably have said she smells like a tart’s boudoir. 😂

Hello new followers!
I’ll get around to looking through profiles over the next few days, but I don’t auto-follow back.

Here’s a messy dog-blep to tie you over! This is Cariad, my lively and occasionally challenging writing assistant and foot warmer.

There are over 300 authors and 600 books in the annual Reddit mega sale now on!
The main link is a little complex, but some fabulous authors have made an easier to navigate one!

Happy Christmas to all who celebrate. And, enjoy the day off to those who don’t!
I’m spoilt rotten, and wresting rudolf for lunch.

Oh… by the way, my present to you is to put GATES OF HOPE on sale in UK and USA, starting today, for a few days.

Fluff-meister is now having a pseudo pregnancy according to the vet.
This is not making trimming her tummy fluff particularly easy.

A year ago today, a small terror moved into the house.
And how we all love her!

Day 1 of school holiday proper, and my goal involves bathing the dog and trying to work a knot out of her thigh!
This is going to get very soggy.

I maaaayyy have given her a calming tablet first.

She tried to spit it out, but cruel dog parent that I am, I hid it in cheese and fooled her.

Cariad thinks you deserve a good book, and told me to remind you all mine are in KU, so you can enjoy them!
(She’s trying to claim editorial rights on them, and get more treats, but that privilege belonged to her predecessor, she has yet to complete an entire book as an assistant)
