Dress Up With Gentian!!!
Hi everyone!
so I'm pretty sure that you all know by now that as well as writing, I'm in a band with my sister. In January we're going to Resident Studios in London to record our first EP!!! Andy Rugg (who worked as a sound engineer for Coldplay from 2009-2012!!!) will be working on our EP which is AWESOME!!!
My sister, Jingle, is the driving force behind the band and it's through her hard work in getting our music out there that we've come this far with God's help.
Below is our very first Band vlog, all about our preparations for the photo shoot. Hopefully you'll enjoy getting to know us a bit better! ;-)

Fracture: Book Tour!!!
Hi Everyone!

There will be:
*Reviews
*Excerpts
*Spotlights
*This or That's
*Author Interviews
*Character Interviews
You can take part in as many (or as few!) as you like.
(11-28 to 12-13) Fracture (14 Day Tour)
Here's Fracture's blurb and cover:
In a world torn apart by war, three nations stand divided.
The Free Nation
Senator Burton and his son Ben arrive in the Tula strongholds for peace talks, but find that a treaty between the two nations has a price. Confronted by a world of sedate tranquility the two men are appalled to learn that the Tula Council rules with an iron rod of fear and repression. The Council removes anyone who dares to stand in the way of their reforms and Ben uncovers a secret that puts his life in danger.
The Tula
Astra has been pressured into working for the very Council that threatens to kill her loved ones. No stranger to loss, the precariously balanced world she has constructed begins to fracture when Ben starts asking difficult questions about her past. As her deepest secrets are uncovered, Astra finds there are secrets in her childhood that even she is unaware of.
The Una
Kai is Apprentice Headman to the Una people. Unaccountably called upon to sacrifice his honour in the name of peace, Kai's hatred toward this injustice proves all consuming. If the time comes, will he be able to forgive the woman that betrayed him?
When these three worlds collide ugly truths come to light on every side. Is there any way to make peace, or will the world end in discord.
(11-28 to 12-13) Fracture (14 Day Tour)

New Release: The Vow (The Lady Quill Chronicles, #2)
Hi Everyone!!!
I'm very pleased to announce that The Vow is now live! Grab your copy now!
Synopsis:
Dear Reader,
My next story begins with Velrek, where Lord Rafe and Lady Adele's arrival was cause for much celebration and rejoicing.
However Finan of Gournay, Rafe's foster brother and the captain of Valreks army, could not help a lingering feeling of worry.
Were Rafe and Adele truly safe from Lord Kyule's hate?
Adding to Finan's problems was the unsettling presence of Rafe's sister, Lady Esme. Used to keeping his distance from the woman of Valrek, Finan found that he could no longer escape as before.
As danger and treachery enveloped Valrek, Finan and Esme found themselves drawn together to fight the shadowy assailant that threatened the lives of those they loved.
What secrets would they unearth in their search for the enemy that taunted them?
Would they find that their stories were more closely linked than either of them ever knew?
Allow me please to answer these questions...
Lady Quill
