Hello! Lately I’ve been dabbling in witchcraft. KInd of. My reading picks have been decidedly witchy. Is there a better time than October/Halloween to indulge in stories about badass witches? I read the first of The Vine Witch series last year and this year I’m having fun reading the second and third of the trilogy. …
I love finding a series that has a long backlist! Not that I didn’t zoom through all nine in record time and now sit twiddling my thumbs impatiently until the next book comes out next year. (sigh) Anyway if you love a good mystery with a smattering of romance set in the 1830’s this is …
This spring I’ve finally got around to reading all the books in my TBR (To Be Read) queue and there have been some really great ones. Far too many to list here but a handful stood out and I continue to think about them. Bitterburn was a great rethink of the Beauty and the Beast …
Can we, just for a moment, admire how gorgeous this cover is?! The story is just as amazing! Inspired by the Persian epic Shahnameh from the early eleventh century, the setting is lush and vivid.

My novel, Dragon’s Pawn, is one year old today! To celebrate here’s a special excerpt from the book, plus a DIY on how to make your own set of Secret Letter tiles like they used in the chapter. **** **** **** “I uh…” She really didn’t have time for gaming…then it struck her that CĂ©line …
I wanted something witchy. Something a bit spooky but also with a romance. Oh boy, did The Winter Witch by Paula Brackston deliver. The witches were indeed very witchy and the romance was pretty darn epic. The plot was intense and the “bad guy” was very bad indeed. In her small early nineteenth century Welsh …
If you loved The Starless Sea you will want to read The Ten Thousand Doors of January! In fact it was recommend by Erin Morgenstern. I’ve been in a bit of a reading rut so I downloaded a preview to my Kindle app to give it a try and before I even finished the first …
