About the author
S. Hall-Wood
5 books3 followersAuthor Bio:
The official bit, S. Hall-Wood spent 18 years as a landscaper and garden designer, building her business from the ground up, starting at the kitchen table of a council house. Her passion for plants and design was deeply influenced by her mother, a Western herbalist, and her father, a Chinese herbalist, fostering a unique understanding of both horticulture and natural healing.
As a mother of five (two grown and flown), she balances her family life with her creative pursuits. While her writing experience has primarily focused on gardening articles and client briefs, she is now enthusiastically expanding into fiction, embracing the craft with dedication and passion.
Now the unofficial bit:
Hi thank you for reading my book and I genuinely hope you enjoy it. If you want to find me to interact I’m on social media as Shadowkraft or Shadowkraftbooks. I hope to see you there.
I am not a writer that grew up dreaming of publishing a book. These stories came to me while I was working and would not be quiet until I got them on paper. I have long adored periods dramas, historical fiction, and myths and legends. I thoroughly enjoyed mixing these up to give you my new Prophecy series, starting with book 1 Never Yours

the third in the series and an incredible one at that! meeting new characters and seeing old ones and how they've "aged" and grown has been a heart stopping experience at some points. I am truely looking forward the the next part! the ending left my heart feeling mixed about all the characters more than before!
