WHere have I been?
I was on a roll for a while writing a blog post a month.
Then I disappeared.
Some of you may know but others may not but I write under other pen names. Some of those are: Olivia Oakley and A.R. Bailey (fantasy) but I've also started one for children's books Rosie Bailey.
In September The Lady's Defiance was actually my third book published that month.
There was also Keeper's Folly, Welcome to Goblin Hollow, Fred!
Ignoring how tired I was I jumped into another project that I was super passionate ab...

For my newsletter subscribers
Hello!
Just wanted to let you know that I have been working on a short story to act as a companion piece to The Lady's Gamble that takes place a few years after the end of the story. Even if you haven't read The Lady's Gamble I have made it so you can still read and enjoy it although it might spoil some of the events in The Lady's Gamble.
It is coming soon! Thank you for waiting so patiently.

Story time: Importance of Reaching out
By the start of my career the importance of networking had been drilled into my head. But as most people I dreaded doing it. Networking became this thing I would avoid doing at all costs. It was a combination of feeling shy, but also feeling like the whole interaction was insincere. Almost a transaction rather than a conversation between people. Over time it has evolved into this scary monster that I run in fear from.
However, there are times when I push aside my biases and fear and do reach out....

New covers Royal Court Series & News
I couldn't resist. My fingers were itching to have a go at rebranding my royal court series. I also wanted to add more cohesion to the covers. So far just the ebook covers have been updated. I will have the paperback and hardcovers updated soon. It also takes a lot longer for the changes to be reflected on that.
In other news. The fifth book in the series shall come out in Late July/August. Stay tuned!

New Cover - It's been a while...
It must have been at least a few months since I've changed a cover. Maybe less. Regardless, I decided now would be a good - no - a great time to update a cover on a book that's not even that old.
But c'est la vie.
At least I'm very happy with how it turned out.
The sequel to this book is currently at the editors. Can't wait to get it back and start working on the cover for that one too. And since you are asking: yes, I am procrastinating other work.
