Hot on the heels of sharing the cover for The Solstice Bargain earlier in the week, I'm excited to share the full description. Hopefully it sounds sufficiently intriguing...

Exciting news: The Solstice Bargain is live on Netgalley.

Please do request a review copy if a dark and witty adult fantasy featuring scheming allies, seductive villains, and family secrets sounds like your thing.

The Solstice Bargain has allowed me to realise one of my more specific writing ambitions - a map
of my fantasy world! Love the piece of work from Edwin Menzo.

One of my favourite things about The Solstice Bargain is how integral to the story, the world, and the magic system the old celtic Wheel of the Year is.

And I love this diagram that's been designed to sit inside the book and help readers keep track of what happens when.

In practice, most of the plot is very different, and there’s a whole host of new inspirations. Even so, the publication of this one feels particularly special to me!

I'm incredibly excited to share this stunning The Solstice Bargain art work, created by the amazing @mariamarcelw

This shows a specific, pivotal scene from the middle of the book, but also doubles as an excellent study of three of the main characters. #thesolsticebargain

I've been very quiet on here ages. But I'm incredibly excited to share the cover of my forthcoming new adult portal fantasy, The Solstice Bargain, the first book in a new series, Prophecy Filler.

It's coming 21st September 2026. More info soon.

Nine years today since my proudest ever achievement in publishing. The time I got a Good Deed and a Rush Hour Crush printed on the same page of the Metro, both of which told a single, horrifying, story from two unconnected people.

Disaster! My lovely kindle paper white has broken - and I basically only have ebooks nowadays. So I’ve had to fire up this ancient piece of technology. I think I got it in 2011, longer than I’ve been married, had kids or owned a house!
