First look at Kaylin and Prince Jorai 👀

How stunning is this amazing art by !
I'm in love with it 😍

Tropes in OGaC:
Shifter magic
Childhood friends to strangers to lovers
Dual POV
Elemental magic
Fairytale retelling

You voted and here it is 😈

While OGaC is YA, it is a little bit darker than TEC. Our fmc really goes through some stuff, but don't worry, there's a happily ever after ☺️

PS. This song was on my writing playlist for OGaC and it absolutely fits 🥰

Map reveal for my Cinderella fae fantasy retelling 🥹

You all voted for a look at the map for OGaC and here it is! There may still be some minor changes between now and release but I think, overall, I'm very happy! This was all done on Canva (free, not premium!), it was a bit fiddly but for not costing me a cent, I don't mind!
Swipe to see it zoomed in ⏩

Blurb for OGaC ⏬

Sold into slavery to the fae to cover her father's debts, human girl Kaylin has learned not to expect anything from her so-called 'Stepmother'.
Barely scraping by each day, Kaylin lives for any scrap of news about the fae prince she once called friend.
When a festival is announced in his honour Kaylin never expects to attend. Until her fae godmother finds her.
But Kaylin isn't the only one sneaking into the event. The rebels are getting bolder, and with their demands going ignored they're looking for a message to send young fae Prince Jorai. And Kaylin, looking like a princess, might just be the perfect start.

Tropes:
👠 Childhood friends to strangers to lovers
👠 He loses control when she's hurt
👠 Cinderella retelling (perhaps others...)
👠 Dual POV
👠 Fae boyfriend

Introducing Prince Jorai of Ashennor

Book: Of Glass and Cinders
Release: 28 May 2024

OGaC is a fae fantasy Cinderella retelling. It's a little more intense than TEC, so I'd recommend upper YA (15/16+) for this one.

Features:
Shifter and elemental magic
Childhood friends to strangers to lovers
Fae
Rebels and a brewing war
No spice but plenty of swoon

I know you all voted for a look at the map but don't worry, it's coming! I saw this trend and had to jump on 🥰

Release day!

I'm so happy that this book is out and we can talk about it! I had most of this book plotted way back before I even wrote book 1 so it's been living rent-free in my mind for quite a while. I'm told this book is a rollercoaster of emotions (hehe sorry), but so worth it. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope all your questions are answered 🐉🐉
Feel free to DM if you need to cry or yell or gush 😉

Tomorrow!

The Eldrasian Chronicles finish tomorrow! Which means you will finally learn; what happened to Prince Tristan, who Ford is, Mazen and Vaherin's past, and so much more! I hope I've answered all your burning questions and my dms will be open for anyone who wants to chat 🐉
(Finding out the exact moment people work out who Ford is has been so much fun)

🐉Blurb for The Dragon Healer🐉

Elinta Ferran can feel the emotions of a dragon....

Elinta is in her third year as an apprentice healer when she stumbles upon something impossible; a dragon.
The laws of Eldras mandate that the beast be killed, but the dragon is injured and Elinta won’t put aside her training. When she’s discovered with the beast, Elinta’s world is turned upside down and she’s forced to flee her home on the dragon’s back. But an unusual bond has begun to form between them, one that hasn’t been seen in over one hundred and fifty years.

When Lorrin, Prince of Eldras, stumbles upon them while going against the king’s wishes, Elinta must decide whether their fate lies together or apart. One road could lead Elinta to a life of loneliness, but the other will lead her straight into danger. If she goes to the palace with the prince, she’ll be hiding in plain sight of the very people who want the dragon killed.

But the officials of Eldras aren’t the only ones after the dragon. Someone sinister is lurking in the shadows and he’s ready to make his move, and Elinta might just be in the way.

If you're excited for the series would you please consider sharing this post and helping to get the word out? 🥰

Looking for your next series binge?

Hey my lovely people!

I'm moving! Thankfully not far, but it is going to be a very quick move (yay for late confirmation!). To make this easier for me I'll be shutting my Etsy store for about a week.

This won't affect any currently open orders (which I will be sending the last of in the next couple of days).

I'll make sure to let you know when we're open again.
Thank you for your understanding 🥰

It's time!

🚨The Dragon Queen is now up for preorder🚨

How gorgeous is this final cover? has done such a fantastic job with this series (but I think this last one is my favourite!)

Blurb:
The sun will burn brightly tomorrow

Elinta has been left reeling in the aftermath of the attack on Nevira and the losses sustained. Now, more than ever, she's certain that Mazen must be stopped. But Elinta's bond with Zhayra seems to be merely a shallow reflection of his and Vaherin's. And if Elinta's suspicions prove correct, the maroon dragon isn't the only one he's bonded to.

But Elinta’s worries about the bond are put on hold when Lorrin's parents agree to approach the Asali for a temporary alliance. Liyarna, no longer the safe city Elinta stayed in mere weeks ago, isn't the only place Elinta must visit. There is one more group she hasn't approached. One that hasn't seen Eldras in over a hundred and fifty years. It's time for the heir to go home.

As Elinta races to find allies for the final battle against Mazen one question continues to bounce around her head; how did he come to be like this? Elinta can't help worrying that she might not find a way to stop him before she loses someone else.

Coming October 24th!

🐉only the ebook is available🐉
Paperback and hardcover should be following any day now. All files have been submitted, they're just waiting for approval.

🚨Limited stock🚨

I had some lovely people reach out asking if it would be possible to buy an annotated copy of TDH if they didn't win the giveaway, and I just couldn't say no.
For a very limited time, and with very limited stock, I have some annotated copies available on E t s y!
I learnt my lesson from the giveaway and got some new pens and highlighters so there's no ink smudges! It looks much more ~aethetic~.
As this is quite a time heavy project purchase will be preorders. It will take around 2 weeks for me to prepare your copy before sending (perhaps longer depending on how many orders come through at once).
There is also very limited preorder spaces and I doubt I'll be doing this again, so now is the best time to order.

International postage is absurdly expensive but I put it to a vote in my stories a few weeks ago and you wanted the option (❤️) so international postage is available.

Thank you so much for your excitement and enthusiasm!

🔗🌳 in my bío to order

I'm having a very special giveaway over on my Instagram 👀 head over for your chance to win an annotated paperback
(I shared it this morning and had no idea it didn't come up here! But don't worry it doesn't close until Friday 8th!)

Happy cover reveal day to 🎉

How stunning are these new covers for her fairytale retellings?
Not only are these all new covers available now, but you can also grab The Stolen Kingdom (book 1) for free right now! Grab it here: https://books2read.com/thestolenkingdom 

Blurb for The Stolen Kingdom!

How can she protect her kingdom, if she can't protect herself?

Arie never expected to manifest a Jinni's Gift. When she begins to hear the thoughts of those around her, she hides it to the best of her ability. But to her dismay, the forbidden Gift is growing out of control.

When a neighboring king tries to force her hand in marriage and steal her kingdom, discovery becomes imminent. Just one slip could cost her throne. And her life.

A lamp, a heist, and a Jinni hunter's crew of thieves are her only hope for removing this Gift--and she must remove it before she's exposed. Or die trying.

THE STOLEN KINGDOM is a loose Aladdin retelling. Set in a world that humans share with Mermaids, Dragons, and the elusive Jinni, this isn't the fairytale you remember…

Bonus! TSK is a no spice series so you don't have to worry about skipping scenes!

Happy cover reveal day to !

Blurb:
To break his curse, he must break her.

The night before her family is set to win a fortune, Talia faces utter ruin. The only way out: accept a snap deal with a mysterious fae and become his bride.

Rafael Romero has one last chance to break his curse, and it lies in the blood of his new wife, if only he can win her heart. What he doesn’t expect is to fall for the woman he’s chosen as his sacrifice.

Determined to get to know her new husband, Talia puts aside her fears and attempts to uphold her wedding vows. But every step she takes toward him, he withdraws. Is he just another suitor who changed his mind, or is there something he’s hiding from her? Can Talia and Rafael find a way to love despite the curse working to rip them apart?

The Starlit Prince is a standalone fae fantasy romance with swoony, slow-burn tension, villain redemption, and the happily ever after you crave. This no-spice fairytale retelling of The Bear Prince is perfect for fans of A Word So Fitly Spoken and The Cruel Prince.

I'm so excited to be helping reveal the title for her next book! The Starlit Prince is a retelling of The Bear Prince with no spice.
Cover and blurb are coming soon!
