About what isn't there...
Hi guys, tomorrow I will be posting my review of the Austen adaptations! In the mean time, take a look at these pictures and the art of space...
I am all for accidental art, so anything to do with reading is fantastic! The use of the book and the glasses together, the negative spacing... It's perfect, and so pretty!
Again, another example, this time with a ring. These were taken with iPhones if you can believe it (these images are available on Pinterest and are accompanied by articles in photography).
This is probably my favourite. Books to make you think. :) As all books should. xxx

Watch this space...
I will be reviewing a series of books based on the beloved Jane Austen classics! I recently discovered them, and believe them a great addition to the 'lore', as it were.
Keep on coming back, people, because my library just got happier!

The 'Shadow'...
We may have read the book, we may have seen the movie, but whichever form we've digested, the mysterious 'Shadow' within Inkheart (written by C.Funke) always manages to send a chill shivering down the spine. Mo and Meggie's impressive yet dangerous gift to bring fictional wonders to life presents us with fantastical tales of marvel and adventure. And of course, where would we be without adding danger to the mix?
A thrilling and literary addition to silhouette summer... ;)

The Perfect Party Backdrop
Continuing with my theme of silhouettes and shadows, I wanted to diversify into something a little more upbeat. What can shadows and silhouettes do? For what and how can they be used? Well, this image of the magical Mary Poppins, set against quaint city backdrop gives us plenty ideas. What an easy way to create beautiful pieces of bespoke furniture, or delight guests at a party! With more sinister backdrops, I am sure Halloweeners would delight in seeing arms and legs dangles perilously through the air, to the shadows of a noose in a window...
The possibilities are endless.
But back to Mary Poppins and a spoonful of sugar!

Space for Shadows
Good afternoon!
I love this picture. You usually see it combined with a quote from Alice in Wonderland. By itself though, the amount of space, and the darkness is somehow spooky. I can see why they use it for Alice... The shadows of the mind suit this background.

Darkness and Detail
Shadow fan...
I love the attention to detail here. Especially with the light coming through. You can pick up lots of details surrounding the woman's face even though she's in darkness - the lighting is well balanced to pick out specific elements. Beautiful.
Celebrating Silhouettes
Whether it's a good spine-chilling thriller, a ghoulish horror or a heart racing Noir, in film, art and even in books there's something about the shadows that heightens our senses, excited is, makes everything that more alive...
To celebrate our love of shadows, be they characters in books, mysterious works of art, photography slip ups or simple silhouettes for the next month - ironically when our days are longest and our shadows shortest - I will be posting facts, pictures, song titles for everyone to see and absorb at there darkest leisure.

New and Improved
Hello, wherever are you are!
It has been a long time since I have been on my blog, and for that I deeply apologise. I've been hard at work studying and writing and it has been difficult to find a minute of peace in the havoc. But here I am, and with updates and new books, no less.
As you can tell, my blog has had a bit of a clean up. This is an ongoing project of mine, so if stuff you like disappears, it will most likely reappear at a later date. If not, give me an email or shout on Twitter (look left for info) and I shall try and find a place for it somewhere.
Regarding my books, two new stories have joined the ranks of the Witch-Haven magic crew. Available on Amazon Kindle, the biting tale of Charlotte Warren and Jordan Morris and their struggle between secrets, magic and true love can be read in Bitten in the Dark , the second instalment in the Powers of Witch-Haven series. Also, enjoy a blast from Witch-Haven past with the new short story Love Drunk , where a Halloween party goes somewhat awry for humans and paranormal alike!
Also, I am currently writing the next book in the Powers of Witch-Haven series, Dark Delusions:
I can't wait for you to read it. If you can't wait for me to finish, you can take a sneak peek and let you imagination run wild by reading a taste of what's to come with the extract included with the purchase of Love Drunk!
Just a click away...xxx
