I'm also looking for ARC readers for my fantasy novel inspired by the history and mythology of Wales. You can register your interest below.
My Book
My debut fantasy novel, A Volatile Woman, is coming 2nd October 2026.
Learning sorcery from a grandfather who hates her and her entire home nation is a small price to pay for Florna to avoid an arranged marriage with a foreign warlord. But when a back-alley mugging strips her of her ability to learn new magic, she has to start guarding an ever-growing number of secrets to protect her freedom.
Far from her homeland, Florna does her best to make friends and earn independence in the stifling queendom that’s been trying to invade her home for hundreds of years.
The mysterious art of alchemy is Florna’s only hope at dealing with familial pressure, a cut-throat social scene, and a crime boss with a personal vendetta. Will alchemy give Florna the independence she needs, or will it give her more than she can handle?
An epic fantasy novel for fans of Robin Hobb and Adrian Tchaikovsky, drawing inspiration from the history and mythology of Wales.
