I don't use many gifs, but for this post, nothing else will suffice.

Look at that! 10K words a day really is possible!

A writing update – two new quests!

Yesterday, I packed off The Borderlands: War to the editor. After spending every waking moment on it for the last four months it's wonderful to look to new horizons.

Like an adventurer leaving the comforts of the village, I'm off to find new stories!

Jaral

"When he smiled he looked even more elfish. His eye teeth were extended, like fangs ... His eyes were bright violet, like two amethysts set amongst dark lashes. Then she saw his ears. They came to a delicate fine point."

A young Chris Hemsworth would be a pretty good fit for the role of Jaral

Iluna

"The child is cursed. That is as clear as my foot ... I can see it. As can you. We know what has to be done."

A young Tinsel Korey would be perfect cast as Iluna

Historical Fantasy

"Historical fantasy is a category of fantasy and genre of historical fiction that incorporates fantastic elements (such as magic) into the narrative." – Wikipedia

Dracula was inspired by the real life Vlad the Impaler

Gareth

"Gareth, a homeless old eccentric had become her only friend in the world."

A bearded Terrence Stamp would be perfect cast in the role as Gareth

Emma

"My name is Emma. I work at a very large and famous museum, in a city that is also large and famous."

Felicity Jones would be a good fit as Emma.

Dale

"Her hair was still red. And nobody liked red hair."

A young Rose Leslie would be perfect cast as Dale.

The Borderlands

The Borderlands is a major setting in my Contemporary Fantasy trilogy of the same name. If you haven't read the first book, 'Journey' you might want to skip this post as there will be spoilers, not big ones though :)

"Slowly, the trees came into view, along with the promised shoreline. The mists swirled and a jetty was revealed."

Book One of 'The Borderlands' now on sale

It's been a while since I've put The Borderlands: Journey on sale , but with the upcoming release of the sequel later in the year, I thought it was a good idea to get it out there and under some new noses.

A Writing Update

It's been a while since I've posted an update on my writing progress, and apparently, some of you would like to know more about how the sequels are coming along. So, here's an update and a bit of a schedule of what I intend to release this year.

Now that I have a grand total of three books published, I'm feeling generous. From today, I'll be giving away a free ebook with every newsletter sign up. So, if you're a fantasy reader looking for some fresh blood books, you might like to try one of mine.

All my books are now available in Kindle Unlimited

I've been very pleased with the release of my latest book The Raven and the number of reads it has been getting on Kindle Unlimited.  It's no secret that I'm an Indie author, and as I'm still relatively new to the world of publishing, getting more exposure for my books is crucial. So, I've decided to add my other two publications to Kindle Unlimited and see if I can garner as much interest for them.

All of my books are now available to borrow or buy at Amazon.
