Here's the new cover of my new book. I'm hoping to have this released for the end of January 2013. It's been quite a while in the making, so I hope you all get to read it when it comes out. As always, it would be great to know what you think.

Autumn is coming, friends. For some of you, you'll already be there. Summers are short in the UK, which is why those of us who live here write. A lot.

I have one copy - an international giveaway for my first fiction novel, Dark Winter.

If you don't enter, you can't win!

Book Two, Dark Winter: Crescent Moon is out October 1st.

Hi everyone. It's almost one year to the day that my first fiction book was released. Over the last twelve months, I have had reviews and comments from some of you, support from all of you. Others hosted my books on their blog. It takes time to do that, so I am grateful to you. Others still would take time to post a review and then private message me with their thoughts.

Some of you have become not just a support to me, but great friends as well. I would be happy to count you amongst my real friends, because I believe your support has extended beyond the book reading.

Some of you will know of the difficulties I have had in the last six months or so. For your support and counsel, I'm very appreciative.

Inbetween the release of the first fiction book, Dark Winter: The Wicca Circle, I released the fantasy epic Stormling and today, the paperback of Dark Winter: Crescent Moon, has landed on Amazon.

But here's some other stats about the last six months:-

Ice bucket challenge - 1
Cups of tea 2,160
Nights out getting hammered - 2 (cheers Jonathan Bradbury)
Martial arts lessons taught - 338
Knock downs on students - 33
Knock OUTS - 1 (sorry kid, it was either you or me)
Movies watched - 2
Days out ghost hunting - 3
Books read - 23
Words written 147,000 (near enough approx!)

Happy October 1st! The season of the witch is finally here!

Hi all.

Here's a special preview from the opening pages of my new paranormal horror, Dark Winter: Crescent Moon (Dark Winter #2)

Hi friends! Well here is an excerpt from the book's opening prologue. Enjoy...I think...!

From the Diary of Romilly Winter, April 14th.

Aged 18, I’m probably too old to keep a diary now, still I write words nonetheless, hoping for something coherent, something real, something I can believe in to come out of it. Maybe I have written a lot this winter because it’s the kind of season that ceases to end. When will the snow stop? Even when I want to see blue skies, my eyes are tricked into seeing pitch-black night.

Dana Cullen told Beth one time that ‘Nothing ever just happens, there is always a design.’ But I have seen enough in my short life to know that things don’t just happen. Maybe my faith is to be tested at every turn, so I hope to God that there is some design amongst the chaos.

Another part of me believes that things don’t just happen for a reason, and all we’re doing is fighting to make sense of the chaos that surrounds us. The kind of chaos that would become us, if it went unchallenged. It is a battle I find myself losing, and yet those around me think I am so strong for keeping it together.

I hope to God with my every breath, but what is hope anyway? Does it fool us into forgetting what is real in our lives? What if it is all wrong, that we are all lost souls wandering around with no meaning to our existence? What can hope do for us then?

It could be that I think things over too much. It could be that the Mirror of Souls has affected me for far too long. It could be that I have convinced myself that everything will work out just fine. There’s a strong chance I’m just playing tricks on myself and those around me.
