Biography I am an obsessive reader and writer. I love young adult fantasy fiction, but can often be found with my nose in all sorts of texts. My first book to be published was The Long Staff. This is the first book in The Staff Wielder Series. The books, set in the Highlands of Scotland, follow a young boy Tom MacKay as he is forced to travel through time and learn to wield a magical staff. The second book in the series The Ancient Exile was released in September 2013.
Now, I have released a paranormal fantasy story, Heaven's Waiting Room. This story, follows a girl called Portia, who discovers at the start of the story, that she's dead! Heaven has some strict new entry requirements in place, and she didn't make the cut.
I also have several other interesting projects boiling away in the pot... Not Scottish, but definitely fantastical! I'll keep you posted... Till then, Keep Wielding!
Clare Wilson is a lecturer in Applied Psychology at Portsmouth University. This is a broad guide to dealing with stress that’s aimed at university students and offers a combination of techniques and exercises plus a variety of further resources. It’s a useful starting point that I think can be used by people in the workplace as much as students but the illustrations are incredibly random and some of the graphics difficult to read.
