I'm thrilled to announce the publication of the official sequel to 'The Breathing Ghosts: 'The Blood Witching'!

Now available to buy on Amazon, The Blood Witching features many of the most memorable characters from its predecessor, The Breathing Ghosts, and delves head-first into dark desires, demented schemes and even darker rites:

Angelica Blackthorne is many things: beautiful, bold, cruel and in the grip of a madness that threatens to destroy her. Resurrected as a vampire sorceress known as the Blood Witch, Angelica's lust for power knows no bounds, and she will stop at nothing to claim back her ex-lover, the vampire Nerissa Naughton- despite having murdered Nerissa's family years before.

Nerissa Naughton may be powerful, but confronting Angelica could cost her everything-even with the help of an unusual alliance of vampires, werewolves, mortals and the vampire huntress Rowan Oakwood.
With Angelica desperate to win Nerissa back, only three things are certain: hearts will be broken, blood will be spilled, and nothing will be the same again...

'The Blood Witching' is a dark vampire fantasy for young adults. It is the second in 'The Breathing Ghosts' Series.

The countdown has officially begun! Just 4 days to do until the sequel for The Breathing Ghosts is published on Amazon!! Read more about The Breathing Ghosts Series on my blog, or buy
The Breathing Ghosts and immerse yourself in a world of vampires, vendettas and dangerous desire…

…Phantoms at the Feminist Library and a Halloween-themed reading from The Breathing Ghosts!

I’m thrilled to be reading from my novel at the Feminist Library- a fantastic treasure store of contemporary and archival feminist material from the 60s, 70s and 80s, especially as I used to volunteer there myself! As part of the Halloween-themed event, I will be reading alongside Liam Livings, whose debut novel is due to be published by Wilde City Press next year. His work has been praised for its ’rounded dynamic of characters within a world that is immediately relatable.’

There will also be a reading from Reflections of a Vampire, a work by the late Eileen Cadman, (1950-2013) who was a great supporter and friend of the Feminist Library. Her work has been called ‘a darkly erotic tale of masks, mirrors and mysteries’, tracing the journey of a nameless female vampire with a fatal flaw, and her stylish vampire companion, Ligeia. Plus, some of Eileen Cadman’s artwork will be displayed within the Feminist Library space.

Hope to see many Breathing Ghosts fans there- there will also be refreshments (including yummy pumpkin cake!)

Hi everyone,

My first collection of short stories, 'The Ghosts' Feast' has now been published as an ebook on Amazon! It features some of the characters of my previous novel, 'The Breathing Ghosts', as well as some new vampires. Here is the blurb:

In The Ghosts' Feast, the lives, loves and losses of some of the vampires within Eleanor Keane’s The Breathing Ghosts come to the fore: a young boy tries on his mother’s corset, a vampire servant becomes obsessed with her mistress, a lavish feast is laid out for the dead, and a dark goddess concocts deadly schemes.

These short stories - amongst many others - travel from Ancient Pompeii, to 19th century Venice, to London in the Swinging Sixties, and all of them are woven together with ominous undercurrents of desire, death and vengeance. Who can we trust? Who can we believe in?

In the world of The Ghosts’ Feast, some vampires are monsters, some monsters are human, and nothing is quite what is seems…

Please check it out if you have a moment, and feel free to write a review!
