Welcome to my site where you can find more information about my writing (~book) & other general musings
Have you ever wanted to have a character based on you in a book? How cool would it be if you could be immortalised on page in the fantasy genre? I love Halloween and the month of October! The spooky season brings me lots of joy and with days left until Halloween I wanted to... Continue Reading →
My book has now been on sale for three months. It seems longer than that, but perhaps it's because of all of the work that went into writing the book and creating something from scratch. Promoting it as well takes a lot of effort as I'm having to learn everything as I go, often doing... Continue Reading →
My book had a higher rank than Bram Stokers' Dracula! I just have to shout out with pride before I continue with my post! As you will know, I was recently told that I needed to re-check my book because of grammar errors! The person whose criticism I took did it in a manner that... Continue Reading →
I'm in shock that someone loved my book so much they came to my website to let me know. I question their sanity, but in a good way. I've deleted all PII info and shared the fan mail everywhere I can because it's so exciting for me! I can't tell you how proud and validated... Continue Reading →

You see, after my GCSE's I'd not studied English creatively or linguistically. I'd gone down the route of social sciences- psychology, sociology & philosophy. I carved out a... Continue Reading →
I've had many many ideas for my book cover, not quite as many as the titles I've thought through, but a lot. The problem though is my design skills are almost non-existent and I wanted to keep my book genre specific for vampires. I don't like people on the cover of books as the images... Continue Reading →
I obviously love the supernatural, they have been a great source of learning and entertainment for years. After watching The Craft, my friends and I started a coven, it mostly involved us hanging out and gossiping as teenagers do. Perhaps that movie was my gateway to being a little goth- who knows! I also obsessed... Continue Reading →
Who doesn't love art? I for one am in love with all forms of artistic expression, but I just wanted to give a shout out to three that made me want to include them in my writing. Flaming June 1895 The first is 'Flaming June' by Frederic Leighton. Two of my characters are named after... Continue Reading →
