I wanted to write about a new style of heroine. I love the kick-ass warrior types but I wanted a girl who was powerful, independent and changed her fate without picking up a sword. I'm a big fan of English history and read a lot on Elizabeth the First. She reigned 45 years, was patron to William Shakespeare and set the foundations of the empire, yet never carried a weapon. Lily Shadow is very much based on her. But Lily needed a foil, so i again dug into English lore and came up with the best outlaw there ever was, Robin Hood. He's my inspiration for Thorn, the peasant boy from Herne's Forest.

Hey! So i'm a big fan of your books, just got Burning Magic around three days ago. Finished it quite quickly, amazing story. Question however, you left with a little bit of a cliffhanger. Well, a big cliffhanger. Wondering if there would be another book in the series or another book in the same universe? Thanks!

Is there really going to be a third Shadow Magic book?!?!?!? This better be true, I gasped and smiled while reading it 9 times and then was looked at weirdly by my sister. {She doesn't share my love of book} I'm SO excited to read Dream Magic, and now a third book, my dreams are coming true. :) :)
