I have a new lifestyle blog!
I'm so excited about my new lifestyle blog, which I launched recently. Although I'll still be talking about my books, I'll also be talking about yoga, writing, health, life in Portugal and general lifestyle issues that affect women of all ages. Although I've had the domain name for some time, and have used it in varying degrees on blogger and weekly, it's now a fully self-hosted site over on Wordpress so I'm serious about taking it to the next step!
What is difficult, however, is gaining followers so if you'd like to pop on over and check it out, please do follow me - either via Bloglovin or by following posts, both of which can be done on the right-hand side of the front page.
I look forward to welcoming new readers! Oh and please share with your friends. Thanks guys and gals :D

W is for Witchwood Estate #AtoZChallenge
It's no secret that I adore YA urban fantasy. Along with Chick Lit, it's my absolute favourite genre to read (and write!) so when my good online pal Patti Roberts started writing a series of short books entitled Witchwood Estate, I knew I had to have them. Being the kind of woman she is, she sent them all through to me immediately and I devoured them! I love anything magical with witches, paranormal, vampires, ghosts - and you name it, you'll probably find it in Witchwood.
“TV series” length episodes in a book…. A whimsical series for Teens, YA, and all those young at heart… There is something very evil lurking in the woods surrounding Witchwood Estate… Witches, ghosts, sprites, shape-shifters, wolves and more... Alexandria Santorini learns as a child that she comes from a long line of Harvey witches. Now, as a teenager, Alexandria must say goodbye to Catnip Cottage and the Barnabys, her loving guardians for the last twelve years, and go home to Ferntree Falls to claim her inheritance. Witchwood Estate. The home where she was born and her parents were murdered. Her journey home becomes even more sinister, however, when she discovers that there are those who have other plans for her and her new friends
Seventeen-year-old Alexandria Harvey-Santorini has returned home to claim her birthright, Witchwood Estate. But her journey has only just begun, and Alexandria soon realizes there is far more going on in Ferntree Falls than she remembers. With the constant threat of black magic and evil clans intent on stealing her power, Alexandria must remain vigilant, even when it comes to falling in love. Suspense, love, mystery and mayhem are only a hint of the magic you'll find in "Timeless", the 4th book in the Witchwood Estate series. Blurb written by Charidy Williams Anaya
Going Home
There's something evil lurking in the woods surrounding Witchwood Estate - Whimsical "TV type episodes" in a book in an ongoing series.
A short story series for all those young at heart... Witches, shape-shifters, ghosts....

T is for Temporal Stone #AtoZChallenge
So here I go again, blowing my own trumpet and talking about my own books but hey ho... why not? Someone might be interested ;)
Anyway, The Temporal Stone is the second full-length book in The Morgan Sisters series. It was kind of an unusual one to write because I delved a bit further into urban fantasy, producing pixies out of the ground, for example, to make the story come alive. It follows Emma Jane and Lana Beth Morgan, sisters who who just happen to be half angels (commonly known as Watchers in their world) as they delve further into Academy life fighting evil which comes in the form of Skulls. If you're into YA urban fantasy, you'll enjoy it...
It's been a couple of months since Emma and Lana entered the Praxos Academy and life has been hectic ever since. What with regular A level classes combined with learning all about the supernatural world, control classes, self defence and fight night, the girls are constantly busy.
But when their world seems to stop right in front of them, they and their fellow Watchers, have a huge mystery to solve. A mystery which will lead them on a long road trip across south west England where they will meet all kinds of strange creatures, some intent on causing harm and others desperate to put a stop to the problem.
˃˃˃ "Another great read, this is the third Morgan Sisters book I have read and I loved them all. Can't wait for more."
