X Zone Radio Interview on 6th August 2015
Really exciting news I had my first radio interview a couple of days ago so I will be talking about that in this blog today.
It was arranged a couple of weeks ago after my press release was sent to hundreds and hundreds of tv stations, radio, newspapers and magazines and this has been the first one to request a syndicated interview with me so of course I jumped at the chance to do it.
So a couple of nights ago on the 6th August 2015 at 1 am GMT, I had my interview on the X Zone Radio/ TV Station in Ontario, Canada.
I was really nervous beforehand having never done an interview of any kind before so when they called me was really nervous, but it went much better than I thought.
Okay so a bit about X Zone Radio Station, I had never heard of this station before so I did a little research.
It's founder, host and creator is Rob McConnell and it has been around since the early nineties.The station focuses on unusual and interesting content, mainly paranormal and with interests such as astrology, religion, psychic, mediums, ghosts and spirits, ufos, aliens and so much more.
You can check it out by visiting their official website http://www.xzoneradiotv.com
The purpose of this interview was to talk about my book Her Blackened Soul, where I was asked questions about the work and my witchcraft background as well which some people may not know but I am a practicing witch and so of course I had a lot of substantial material for the story.
Rob McConnell was a fantastic guy to speak to and was very curious with the questions he asked which I was more than happy to answer, it was a very fun and relaxed atmosphere which I was very relieved about because I was extremely nervous.
We talked in depth about my witchcraft, how it came to be in my life, other abilities I have such as being psychic which stems down from my father and grandfather and also what I thought about common misconceptions about witchcraft.
I liked the humour as I was asked do I have a black cat, broom, hat and cauldron? I do own a cauldron, but I do not own any of the other things.
I am sure a lot of witches would love to ride a broom, myself included, but the reality is, it isn't quite like that in the real world.
Other things I was asked included are witches evil? How do you do spells?
Lots of these things I would be more than happy to talk about in future blogs.
Unfortunately due to a technical issue, the call was cut off as we were about halfway through the interview and they were unable to call me back, spooky!
The good news is that I will be appearing on there again and the details of that are yet to be arranged but I will let you guys know as soon that is confirmed.
Until next time, Isra xx

Her Blackened Soul Pre Order on Amazon Kindle
Today is the day.
I have listed "Her Blackened Soul" for pre order on Amazon Kindle. Now this was quite a lengthy process and I'm not the most tech savvy so it took a couple of cups of coffee in order to get through the process, but after a file conversion, an edit and three more edits and interior reviews, I am happy to say it is in motion.
I have set the date for 25th March, I feel this is plenty of time and in alignment with what I had already planned for it. I did want a Spring release so this works out so nicely.
I just want to say a big thank you for all of you who either follow, comment or like my work or posts here on Goodreads, Facebook and Twitter as it means a great deal to me and believe it or not, a small comment or follow can make the world of difference to a new author.
I thought I would give you a quick insight about "Her Blackened Soul", for those of you, who don't know what it is about.
"Welcome to the rich and fantastically, vivid world of Lady Isra. A witch who has turned her back on everything good and switched to the dark side although the darker she goes, the more Lady Isra grows in power.
Along her journey, Isra meets some magickally inclined friends who help advise and guide her on her dark path including Astrid the raven, Romeo the snake and Kane the warrior, who is able to see her despite her cloaking spell on the human world.
“Her Blackened Soul” is a dark fantasy tale of power, darkness and magick featuring a beautifully executed revenge and also love."
So that's the brief blurb of the story. I will update more soon as this exciting journey continues, thank you all again.

"Her Blackened Soul" New Format
Hello all, I just wanted to touch base with you. I was having some issues with my book and the way it looked so I decided to have a professional formatter format the manuscript for me!
I spoke to my cover designer and friend Johannus Steger about this and he suggested the contact and set it all up between me and the manuscript formatter, I sent it to her and it was done very fast.
I am simply thrilled with what this lady has done and I have so much more confidence in it now than I did before, it is not only neater but on a whole is a much better piece of work and there was so many extras I was not expecting! It is so much clearer to read now, has a real edgy look to it and all in all I am very happy. Angelique Anderson, did a fantastic job on it and all within a day, absolutely amazing. My favourite part is the little daggers on the chapter headings, simply mesmerizing!
So with this new addition to it, I have made all the changes on Createspace and Amazon and doing the kindle version now as we speak so within a day or two, it should be back up online for purchase. This is very exciting and I will update you all again when it is up, this does of course mean a new giveaway as it is a NEW edition :)
Until next time, Isra xxx

End of June Updates, Plans for the Upcoming Months,
Hello everyone, Isra here, I apologise for my absence in recent weeks. I have been very unwell and also had to take a break from things following an MRI scan at the hospital as I had a bad reaction to the contrast agent they gave me for the scan. I won't go into detail about my health issues as I don't want to bore you all but I hope it will all be cleared up soon, following results from the scan.
So as you can imagine, not much has been done, so no writing, I've barely had the energy for social media and I've had to rest, which for someone who is active with my hands, wasn't easy to do. The good news is I am a lot better and I am looking into starting up my writing again.
I am currently sat looking at my ideas book, which recently has a new addition as I want to do a prequel to "Her Blackened Soul" which will feature three of the main characters and focus on Isra's life before the dark. This is still a very rough idea but I expect work to start on it after I have finished the third book in the series, so this would likely be a year or two away yet, but it never hurts to plan ahead.
Book two is halfway written, so I am not far away from this goal. I would prefer the third book in the series to be written before I attempt the prequel as I want it to keep it as true to the story as possible, rather than going back and re adding and re writing, writing things out by starting before.
I am planning another giveaway for July, this will be on Goodreads... so keep an eye out for that.
I also want to do another psychic forecast but as yet haven't had the time or energy, however I will get this done before August.
I just wanted to give a quick shout out to K Caffee, she has been shouting out my book on twitter but as yet I haven't had a chance to reply or thank her for the tweets as I have been so unwell, but here is her twitter account should you wish to check her out. https://twitter.com/PukahWorks
Well that's all from me for now. I hope to update you all soon!
Love and Light, Isra xxx

End of July Updates.
Hello everyone it has been a hectic month here so I have only just got back into the swing of things. The good news is I have been ruled out from all the serious conditions, cancers etc regarding my ongoing stomach pains, the bad news as a result of this I've been spending a lot of time under specialists and frequent hospital visits which has resulted in me resting and sitting down a lot so not a lot has been done.
Okay well the cover for "Her Blackened Heart" is under way, I have a fantastic designer by the name of Johannus Steger who has come up with a fab cover for the new novel in the Blackened Series.
Regarding the planned giveaway and the planned forecast, these will happen, I am not too sure when as yet, I have a somewhat evasive hospital procedure tomorrow where I will be under general anaesthetic so I will probably know more of what I can and can't do in the next couple of weeks.
In the meantime I will do my best to update you all on my related writing activities and continue the previews on twitter which I have been doing.
Well that's all for now, Isra xx

"Her Blackened Heart" Cover
Hello everyone, just a little post from as I logged into my emails this morning to find my cover for "Her Blackened Heart" has been finished so I thought I would tell you all about it!
I am so proud to present to you all the cover for my second novel, "Her Blackened Heart" , the sequel to "Her Blackened Soul"
It took a while for my designer to finish it but he did not disappoint. The cover image is an anatomical heart in red as I requested with a lady on the front and featuring a beautifully, dark scene on the back with a graveyard with a raven perched on a gravestone as the background for the blurb.
I am more than impressed with this and hope this alone will help me to get the work finished very soon, as I am tying up loose ends right now from the earlier segments in the book, so I am looking to get it to it's dramatic climax very soon!
I am sure you know I can't share pictures on Goodreads, so I will post a picture of the cover on my twitter account @israsravenheart so you can see it, in it's full splendour!
I am currently working on writing as I find myself feeling a little better today so hopefully no more delays to things!
I hope to write again soon, Isra xx
