    Join me in this week's Author Diary as I embark on an exciting new writing adventure and share my latest reading experiences.


    👑 Introducing "The Ravenglass Throne":

    This week marks the beginning of a new venture into YA epic fantasy with my latest project, "The Ravenglass Throne."

    The story unfolds around three princesses thrown into turmoil after their father, the king, is mysteriously assassinated without naming an heir.

    Set against a backdrop of looming conspiracy and dark secrets, the narrative explores themes of power, loyalty, and the quest for truth.


    📘 Current Reading:

    Alongside developing this new tale, I'm engrossed in "Ezzraharden" by Michael J. Sullivan. Sullivan's ability to weave intricate plots and richly drawn characters never fails to inspire.

    I'm reading "Wild Faith" by Talia Levin, a book that offers a fresh perspective on spirituality and belief systems within the context of far-right politics.

    Both books provide a wonderful blend of escapism and intellectual engagement, feeding into my creative process.


    📅 What’s Next:

    As "The Ravenglass Throne" begins to take shape, I'm focused on outlining the complex relationships and political intrigue that drive the heart of the story.

    I'm excited to develop this world and its rulers, bringing to life the struggles and triumphs of each princess.


    I’d love to hear about your favourite YA fantasy books or any recent reads that have captured your imagination.

    How do you like to see conspiracy and mystery handled in fantasy settings?

    📘 Finishing "Blade of Sorrows":

    I’m thrilled to announce that I've completed the draft of "Blade of Sorrows," the third book in the Guild of Assassins series.


    📖 Current Reading:

    As I take a brief pause from writing to recharge, I've started reading "Ezzrahdon" by Michael J. Sullivan. It’s proving to be an engaging read, filled with the compelling storytelling and rich character development.


    📅 Looking Ahead:

    With "Blade of Sorrows" now in draft completion, my focus will soon shift towards the editing process, a critical step in preparing the book for its journey to the readers.
