In this excerpt Kit and Valentine find themselves spending the night in a safe house in the Faedemesne, though it proves to be far from safe for Kit. ‘I told you, it’s a SafeContinue reading “Valentine’s Day with the Fae”

Excerpt time and a bundle of nerves.
It’s just over a month until Dance with the Fae comes out. Usually I’m gearing up to do social media posts and blog tours but this time I’m adrift because at the time of querying, the organiser wasn’t sure the bloggers who take part on Twitter would be posting elsewhere.

A gift for a dryad
I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend and not rushing about too much finding last minute gifts. Doing my shopping reminded me of the scene I wrote in The Promise Tree when Edwin takes Drusilla a present.

I thought at theContinue reading “Happy Birthday to me!”

With less than a week to go until the release of The Blacksmith’s Wife I thought I’d share a snippet. This is the first meeting between Hal and Joanna.
