Autumn colours<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>You lucky people down under are heading into spring, but here in the northern hemisphere our non-event of a summer has finally stopped tormenting us and we\u2019re into autumn. Scotland is glorious at this time of year, with the heather in full bloom, the bracken a warm, golden brown, and the trees wearing their finest reds and yellows and oranges. I spent last weekend at Braemar, in the Cairngorm Mountains, enjoying a break before the winter weather sets in. Husband was looking up ancestors and where they might have lived. This one has a view to die for, but it would be bleak in winter. I prefer my cosy modern house!<\/p>\n

Well, this one might be cosy too if it had a roof\u2026<\/p>\n

Book news 1: The Fire Mages<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 Daughter<\/em><\/strong> has a release date! Pre-order at just $0.99.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know many of you have been wanting to know more about Kyra and Cal, and now you can! The fifth book in the Brightmoon sequence focuses on Kyra’s daughter, Axandrina, but both Kyra and Cal have a big part to play in this new adventure. This book is a little different from the previous ones, in that it\u2019s a sequel. However, for anyone who hasn\u2019t read The Fire Mages<\/em><\/strong>, or read it a while back and has forgotten the details, there will be enough information dropped so that you won\u2019t struggle to work out what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

The book is currently with my beta readers, and will be published on 15th January 2016. It will be available in Kindle format, and also as a paperback. As with all my books, anyone buying the paperback will be able to download the ebook free of charge, through Amazon\u2019s Matchbook system.<\/p>\n

For those of you who\u2019ve read The Magic Mines of Asharim<\/em><\/strong> and wanted to know more about the mysterious eggs discovered by Allandra and Xando – you will get your wish! The story of one of those eggs will be told in The Dragon<\/em><\/strong>\u2019s Egg<\/em><\/strong>, and you will also meet Allandra, Zak and Xando again, as well as one or two familiar faces from another book altogether. I\u2019ve written 50,000 words so far, which is close to half way. The Dragon<\/em><\/strong>\u2019s Egg<\/em><\/strong> will be published in mid-2016.<\/p>\n

About The Fire Mages’ Daughter<\/em><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

A girl fighting her destiny. A living god. A war with the Blood Clans.<\/em><\/p>\n

Seventeen-year-old Drina just wants to hide away with her books, but as the daughter of two powerful mages and heir to the ruler of Bennamore, her wishes are rarely considered. Summoned to the capital, she is plunged into a maelstrom of politics and power struggles. The only compensation is Arran, the handsome bodyguard she grows to love.<\/em><\/p>\n

In her new role as a diplomat, she visits Bennamore’s mysterious neighbours, the Blood Clans. There she discovers there are other, darker forms of magic in the world than the familiar spells of the mages. Driven onward by a living god, the Blood Clans’ magic drags both their countries to the brink of war. Surrounded by enemies, Drina must find a way to tame the power of a god before everything she loves is destroyed. <\/em><\/p>\n
