CHANGELING BOOK TWO: an excerpt

As some of you may already be aware, (especially if you follow me on Twitter or Bookstagram) The second book in my Fantasy series Changeling, is due out soon.

Following on from the first story, ‘Isle of Winds’, the second instalment is ‘Drowned Tomb’ and i’ve been posting teaser and promo pics on facebook, Insta and elsewhere for my own entertainment, (and also to break up the grind of constant editing).

For anyone who has read and enjoyed the first book, I have placed on my website a short excerpt from book two.

looking forward to doing a cover reveal shortly too. xx

The Page is Printed…

I recently had the pleasure of being Q&A’d by the charmingly bearded and inked book reviewer Luke Marlowe following his review of Isle of Winds.

If you want to see what we nattered about, head over to thepageisprinted.com and check out their ‘Ask An Author’ section.

you can get at it through my website or twitter.

You can also read Luke’s review of the first instalment of the Changeling fantasy series


I’d urge you to check out the site if you haven’t already, for a collection of many other excellent and insightful reviews. (i’ve already pencilled in a few books to my ever growing ‘to-read’ list from their reccomendations.)

Pre-order your Vamps for Fangy-Freshness

It's been a little while since I prattled on here, but just a quick soundbite to announce the good news that Hell's Teeth, Book One of the Phoebe Harkness Series, is now available to pre-order on Amazon:

(link on Amazon or my website) Hells Teeth

I'm very excited by this, not only because it's the first in my Oxford-based paranormal mystery series, which is so very different in tone and voice than my other series, the Fantasy Changeling books, but ALSO, because, if you decide pre-ordering sounds like a good idea, you can take advantage of the pre-order price, which is a whopping 99p /99c (depending where in the world you are reading this from)

To put that in perspective for a moment:

99p in today's post-budget Britain will get you either:

A Bus ticket to get you from somewhere soggy and grey to...somewhere else soggy and grey - OR - a damnably entertaining paranormal novel filled with vampires!
A sub-par birthday card from a late night petrol station. (the kind of card that wont stand up) - OR- a violently macabre urban gothic adventure novel!!
Almost (but not quite) two bags of semi-stale hula-hoops from the office vending machine - OR a grizly novel trawling through the dystopian and dark underbelly of Neo-oxford society!!!
A soggy and lonesome cheezeburger from the 4am motorway drive through which tastes of...nilishm and...mold - OR- a kickass action-packed tale of vampire doomsday cults, genetically degenerate zombie-ghouls and exploding rats!!!

The choice is clear (inserts glow in the dark fake fangs)

Hope to see you in New-Oxford soon then! and for those of you who follow me on various other social media platforms, (you weirdo stalkers) I'm also celebrating the release by giving away a signed paperback copy once it's out in the world. (signed in pen- not blood i'm afraid - curse you health-and-safety.)

Details of the Giveaway will be up on my Goodreads page once the release date is here, (30th March) until then, if you can't wait to sink your teeth into Phoebe and her undead adventures, i'll see you on the pre-order side of the street.

(unless of course you really really really want that soggy cheeseburger of course. In which case, there's no hope.)

New Series cover reveal in my gallery

It’s always a good day when you get to do an official cover reveal, so ready your ‘squeeeee’ for the first cover proof of ‘Hell’s Teeth’.

Hell’s Teeth is the first in my new Urban Gothic paranormal series, following the misadventures of Phoebe Harkness. Talented scientist, socially awkward hermit and magnet for trouble.

Join Phoebe in the fortified city of post-apocalyptic Oxford as she searches for a cure for the global ‘Pale’ virus which destroyed much of humanity, whilst juggling the horrors of amorous vampires, doomsday cults, serial killers and public speaking.

Hell’s Teeth, book one of the Phoebe Harkness series, will be coming soon (watch this space for more info.)

and again….squeeee!

(cover pic added to my gallery, let me know what you think)

puppy

I just have to say, I'm writing to a deadline here, and it's very hard to get any work done when you have a 13 week old Japanese Akita puppy constantly begging for your attention and wanting to play!
I'd be mad, but she's soooooo cute she makes my head want to explode.

I'll be involved in an author talk/workshop titled Trade Secrets, on Friday 22nd, (details below) but will be haunting the festival and getting my nose into everyone's business, so if anyone is going, would love to see you there!

TRADE SECRETS: FRIDAY 22ND APRIL 10AM -5.30PM

Do you ever wish you’d dreamed up Star Wars, Narnia or Game of Thrones? Could you give voice to a character like Inspector Morse or Mr Spock? Whether you write genre or general fiction, you need to tell a cracking story peopled by memorable characters. Book a place on this intensive one-day writer’s workshop to get some invaluable tips from two first time novelists on how they found an outlet for their work. Peter Buckman of the Ampersand Agency will discuss the magic ingredient possessed by new writers. Participants will have the opportunity to submit a book blurb (up to 300 words) and the first page of their novel to Peter in advance for his considered feedback.
The ticket price includes all workshops, lunch with the authors and morning and afternoon refreshments.
