Jane Shand has always been an avid reader of fantasy and mystery and is an author of YA and Cosy Fantasy.

She got hooked on fantasy after reading ‘Lord of the Rings’ at a young age and was determined to write books full of magic and adventure.

Her books always have magic, adventure, and some mystery. They are full of friendship and co-operation as well as danger and enemies. There will be a happy/satisfactory ending and some clean romance. Her books are all set in the same ‘world’ though on different continents and there is a thread/item that ties all the books together.

She lives in Hampshire, England with her family and two cheeky cats who would love to help her write.

Alchemy of Secrets by Stephanie Garber
"3.5 ⭐️

I did enjoy this magical and atmospheric story, it did just feel a bit YA still at times though.

This is Stephanie Garber’s first foray into adult fantasy, and though there are mentions of drinking, swearing etc. The behaviour of the characters" Read more of this review »
