It's cold and dark outside, time to escape to a magical world.
On another world, Dee must face her destiny. Taken against her will and told she is the one to save them all, Dee only wants to go home. At least learning magic and falling for her guardian is easing her pain - for now

My love is eternal, they utter.
Yet the windows to their soul lie empty.

While my book is not YA I do wonder if people will be team Kian or team Rillion... 😂

Who would you pick?

"She was just an old lady, who a few unkind people suggested might have pushed her husband to his violent craggy death 16 years earlier, living on the damp brink of the known world with seven cats, a weird over attached waxy crow, 15 hens and a startlingly attractive dog."

Happy #caturday from my little bubble and squeak, Dawn... So darn cute.

Does anyone else wonder who would play their characters in a movie? I never really say what Dee looks like, so might annoy folks whoever got cast. As long as she sounds like a London girl, I'm good.

Me if I ever did race around the world:
Jess has missed the bus due to needing another pee.
Jess has decided to lie in and prop the bar up in this seaside village.
Jess has now disappeared in this tropical paradise...

Still amazed I wrote a book, but still rubbish at saying what it's about, so hope this helps.
Should have included new magic system (well for dragons) Oh and tears! But then how would you cope alone in a strange new world?

Just can't understand it anymore the fear of wildlife, pets, people and air pollution. Why do people need the noise not the light show, quiet fireworks are on sale, but no, let's make a war zone in a built up area. So tired of it all.

Not sure I understand why Amazon.com and amazon.co.uk reviews don't show up on reviews for my book, it's so weird. My book has verified review on both sites but don't sink up! #authorlife #booksky

My neighbour who normally has audio as struggles to read, just said she brought my book and is halfway through, said it's like games of thrones crossed with lord of the rings, but modern and intriguing!! I did promise to sign it when done, love how others view it 🥰 #booksky #authorlife

As a goth I thought I'd share my scariest Halloween costume to date...
In the rock, biker bar that I drank in, friends walked by me, even when I tapped them on the shoulders to say hi... People muttered and stared as I walked by... Was scary 😂 never judge a book by it's cover 🎃 #authorlife #goth

These are out all year, so this is just a photo of my shelf 😂
