Book release!

Nov 14, 2023

Hi, all! I am so, so sorry I keep forgetting to update this page! Anyways, I have some exciting news! My high fantasy, Cinderella retelling From the Ashes recently released on Amazon! I've put it into Kindle Unlimited so, if you're looking for the old chapter drafts of it, they've all had to be taken down. Now for the fun part! Cover reveal!

Synopsis:

A young artist desperate to be free.

For nearly seven years, Lael Verane has lived under the ever watchful eye of her stepmother. Forbidden from leaving the grounds of the estate and locked away whenever visitors come to call, Lael's only solace is in her art. There's just one problem: due to another of her stepmother's strange restrictions, art is not welcome at Avarill.

A prince on a mission.

Agents of the Crown have been dying and elves are disappearing from across Rynn. Prince Nathyn Trysele is determined to find out why. His only clue? A letter from the deceased spymaster, but he's convinced that the answers he seeks are buried somewhere in the Caeth night-markets.

But not everything is at it appears and, in a kingdom where art guilds and magic collide, deadly secrets lie buried that could tear the kingdom apart.

I've put so much work into this book it's exciting to finally see it released! I'm also absolutely exhausted! Besides all the writing, I also did all the artwork myself (two maps, thirteen interior illustrations, and the cover art) plus did the formatting for both ebook and paperback. In fact, there are actually two paperback editions! As the book has illustrations, I've released both a colour and black-and-white edition.

So, if you're interested in getting a print copy be sure to check 'see all formats and editions' to make sure you get the version you're wanting. Just in case though, here are their direct links:

Ebook
Paperback (colour version)
Paperback (BW version)

Oh, and there's also a bonus epilogue available for readers who join my newsletter or become a patron on Patreon!

Speaking of Patreon, if you'd like to stay up-to-date on what's new with me then please consider joining my Patreon as either a patron or follower. I generally update the page weekly so it's the best place to go for news on my art, writing, and jewellery seeing as I keep forgetting to update this page. (Sorry! It's the risk of being on so many sites, a few are liable to fall through the cracks at times.)
