May 2023 Writing update
Hello everyone,
I hope you are all keeping well!
May was another busy busy month, however June is about to get even busier. I’m on deadline – with means my nose must be flat to the grindstone so the manuscript for book 3 is with my editor before I go on holidays.
Wish me luck!

Daughter of the Otherworld (Gael Song Era 2, #1):
"We're back! I was looking forward to this one, and it didn't disappoint. This feels like you don't have to read the first series to get into this one, but you really should. There would be a deeper level of understanding if you've read the other book"

Daughter of the Otherworld (Gael Song Era 2, #1):
"Book 1 of Gael Song era 2 was a great blend of old and new characters. A must read for anyone who enjoys Irish mythological fiction. The ending left me wanting more, looking forward to the next one in the series!"
