Hey everyone! I hope you’re all having a lovely spring (or autumn, depending on where you are). Just a little update I wanted to share with you. In between furiously typing away at far too many stories at the same time, I did a cheeky revamp of the website. Not huge, just changed the colour scheme a little, but I love it, it’s a lot warmer than the previous design.
Summer is coming ever closer, and a lot of travel is in the cards for me! Do you have any nice plans for the summer?

Hello everyone! I posted this on my Instagram page and I thought I’d post it here as well. I thought I’d give an update about what I’ve been doing recently in the literary realm.
Writing has not been top of my list of things to do recently, unfortunately. On the rare moment I do sit down to type, I’ve been working on a lot of different ideas, not anything I’m ready to share yet, though. Honestly, I keep jumping from one WIP to the other so I’m really not getting a lot of anything done, haha.
Recently I made these cute bookmarks and ordered some of them from VistaPrint. I’m excited to see how they turn out. I figured if the writing isn’t coming to me, I could at least do a touch of marketing stuff. I’ll pop these in some of the local shops and see if anything comes of it.😆
Regarding the Trilogy, Danethrall is up to a whopping 29 ratings! It’s sitting quite nicely at 4.5 stars out of 5.😍 Rise To Fall has 3 ratings at 4.6 stars out of 5, and Ashes Remain also has 3 ratings at flipping 5 stars out of 5!!🤩
If you haven’t already posted a review or rating, I kindly ask you to.❤️ Each review/rating helps so much to get the books out there. When each book hits 50 ratings/reviews, Amazon’s algorithm starts promoting and advertising the books, so every rating/review counts.
Anyway, that’s it for now. I’ll post some pictures of the bookmarks when they arrive. Fingers crossed they turn out alright!

Wow! It’s been a whopping ten months since I last posted here. I apologise for leaving you in the dark for almost a year! There are three posts from April, May, and August saved in my drafts folder that I never got around to finishing (one that will most probably never see the light of day), but I am here today to share the links to my social media accounts that I don’t regularly update either, haha. You can click on the links below to be taken directly to the pages. 🙂
As for life updates, it’s been an absolutely miserable year. I’ve written a smattering of sentences and completed none of the projects I’ve started. One of the incomplete posts saved in my draft folder (dated 19th April) is titled “Next on the Horizon”. As you can imagine, it’s all about a project I started a couple months after Ashes Remain was published. It’s been a difficult year, again, and I’m glad to see the end of it. I intend to be reserved about the future considering the last couple years of chaos but do know that I am still writing despite it all, it’s just taking a while, haha.

Today is release day! Both the Ashes Remain paperback AND eBook are officially out! Feel free to rush off to Amazon and get your copy. 😉 Of course, if you have Kindle Unlimited, you can read the entire trilogy for free.

PS – My apologies for not making the announcement sooner – today was a bit more chaotic than usual. -.-
Murphy’s Law has struck again! Ashes Remain was meant to be released on the 28th, but instead, the paperback was released today, two days earlier than planned.
When publishing with KDP, it can take up to 72 hours of review time before your book is up and out for purchase. With my previous books, it has taken the full 72 hours, so I assumed that would be this case with Ashes Remain. How very wrong I was. -.-
This time around, I decided to advertise my novel’s release day to try and build a bit of buzz, so, of course, KDP reviewed the book in 24 hours and now the paperback for Ashes Remain is officially out. 😛 I suppose worse things could happen – better to be early than late, right? (Especially considering I completed the book two YEARS later than expected). Fortunately but unfortunately, the ebook is following the original plan and will not be out until the 28th.
As always, thank you for your support, I appreciate you – and your patience – more than you could know!

PS – In other news, I made an Instagram account focused solely on books! Check it out here! I decided to separate my personal stuff and my professional stuff so that I can keep my private life private and so I don’t harass my friends and family with books promos all the time, haha.
