Book 2 is due for release in July 2023 but should go on pre-order later this year.

Happy reading!

Hello, I finally have The Dark Cluster - sequel to The Shard - available for pre-order on Amazon. The paperback is live there too.
By the end of the week I hope the eBook will be up for pre-order on Kobo, Apple, Google Play and Nook as well.
It will be released on 17th January 2022.

I hope this rounds off the duology nicely and answers any questions left over from book 1

Well I finally got my second novel published. The Light Wielders is now out there. It is a YA Fantasy so same genre as The Shard but definitely a standalone this time. Is is almost as exciting and scary as releasing the first one!

Now I can start editing the completed first draft of the sequel to The Shard - The Dark Cluster.

I have never written a blog before, so I don’t know how things going to go! Just thought I would update everyone on the fact that I will very soon have a cover for The Light Wielders (I have seen a 1st draft and I loved it) - thus is my standalone YA Fantasy set in a land inspired by South East Asia, called Jumali. It is a4 POV book and rolled in at 108k! Once I have the cover I will upload to KDP and then twiddle my thumbs while they take 3 weeks to send me a proof! Then it’s going live - hopefully end of Aug.

I have just completed the 1st draft of The Dark Cluster - the sequel to The Shard that I didn’t originally know I was going to write! Still hoping for Dec21 or Jan22 publication. Not sure which is better - compete with all the traditionally published Christmas releases or wait untilJan when no one has any money!
Anyway that’s it. Thanks
