Hi new followers! I’m a UK indie author writing dark romantic fantasy novels about vampires, and YA novels about ancient civilisations. I’m also one of the editors of Indie Bites magazine @indiebites.bsky.social and writer of the Jack Valentine podcast @jackvalentinepod.bsky.social

The second is DOLCE EVITA, which gives a bit of backstory for one of the main antagonists in the series. You can read it free in the PIRATES & PROPHECIES issue of @indiebites.bsky.social!

The first short story in the upcoming QuickSilver omnibus (chronologically) is A SHANTY IN THE KEY OF F YOU, a little historical fantasy pirate story about Killian Drake’s origins. It’s also appearing in the May edition of @indiebites.bsky.social, where it will be available to read for free!
