Back to routine. Do you prefer structured writing time, or working whenever the moment feels right?

What will 2026 bring? Looking forward to finishing Book Two of The Mereland Chronicles this year. #Storytelling #DarkFantasy

Happy New Year 🖤 Wishing you all a calm start, good health, and stories that linger long after the last page. Thank you for the support over the past year. Book One of The Mereland Chronicles found its way into the world. Book Two is already stirring. Here’s to new chapters in 2026.

Do you plan your reading, or let mood decide?

One question before the year ends: which book stayed with you longer than expected?

Every story I write circles the same idea in different ways: things change. #Storytelling #DarkFantasy

Empathy can be weaponised. The Mereland Chronicles: The Crier explores what happens when compassion is exploited, intention is concealed, and doing the right thing carries a cost. Some stories punish kindness. See link in bio.

Grateful for everyone who’s followed, read, shared, or simply lingered this year. Stories only exist when they’re shared. #TheMerelandChronicles #HistoricalFantasy

Power cut! Camp stove out and candles lit. Hope it’s fixed for Christmas 🎄

Tension you can feel. Desire is never harmless. I write stories where attraction conceals intention, kindness carries consequences, and the truth arrives too late to undo what’s already been set in motion. Link in bio. #DarkFantasy #FantasyBooks #UKAuthors #LakeDistrict

I think I’m coming down with a cold. Just in time for Christmas 🎅
