AWARD-WINNING author, Fil Reid's first novel won a GOLD medal at the Readers' Favorites Awards in 2022.

She writes historical fiction and has a six book time travel series, GUINEVERE, out in which the heroine is a 21st-century girl kidnapped back to the Dark Ages to become King Arthur's Queen Guinevere. Lots of fun plot twists mixed in with some of the well-known and also the lesser known legends.

Hooray for sons!

Here I am, sitting at my computer with the cat nearly resident on TOP of the keyboard and purring loudly in my ear. She’s probably better at technical stuff than I am. She certainly thinks she is, as she constantly tries to edit my work with her neat little pussycat paws. Her form of touchtyping is to be avoided at all costs, though.
