On Preorder. Releases May 5th, 2025

Are you ready to travel back three thousand years and meet the Goddess Leyandrii, her Captain, Guerlaire, and find out how the Sentinals came to be and what happened to them?

Set three thousand years prior to Sentinals Awaken, the first book in the Sentinals Series, the prequel part one delves into Leyandrii’s world before she acted to protect her people against the shadowy threat of the ascendants.

Here we get to meet Guerlaire, his friends Chryll, Anter and many more. We find out how Tagerill, Serill and Birler first meet and join them in their trials and tribulations to become a Lady’s Ranger.

Interwined is the great love story of Leyandrii and Guerlaire and how they both strive to protect the other against those who oppose them.

Part One will be available May 5th, 2025, and Part Two as soon as I can finish it, but it will be in 2025.

Reign of Dragons Kickstarter Funded in less than 24 hours!

Wow! Thank you to everyone who backed our kickstarter, you did it! We are a funded project. And now it’s on to the Stretch goals to make this book the most beautiful it can be. The first of which is the sprayed edge artwork by our amazing cover designer, Rachel St Clair.

There are different backer levels based on your budget so help us bring this beauty to life!

Kickstarter runs for 21 days until April 14th, 2025.

Eighteen amazing authors came together and wrote eighteen dragon themed short stories. From Epic, to LitRPG to noblebright, there is a story for everyone.

As we’re funded, I thought I’d introduce you to my short story, Secret Alliance.

I wrote a short story based in a brand new epic fantasy world. A world I will be writing more in, I just can’t decide whether to write the before or after to my short story! Let me know in the comments if you have a preference.

Secret Alliance is set in a world where dragons are in decline, and there is only one queen dragon, Arithvengar, remaining. She has lost her bonded rider and is grieving, no one can reason with her, so as a last resort Brachendar, the wing commander of the King’s Flight, goes off in search of the one person who may be able to reach her. The only problem is Renderen doesn’t want to be found, and he certainly doesn’t want to return to a place he fled.

Want to read my story? Then you need to back our Kickstarter.

It’s my turn to be interviewed!

Very excited to be a guest on both the Tranquilo Retreat book blog on July 7th, 2024 and also Christina Consolini’s blog on July 15th, 2004. I had such fun talking about my writing journey, my latest books, and what’s coming next.

Also very excited to be a guest on BBC Radio Berkshire on July 17th, talking about my books and attending the Bracknell Book Fair at the Easthampstead Works where I am giving an Author Talk about my writing journey and creating magical worlds at 1pm in Bracknell Library on July 20th. Hope to see you there.

When? Saturday 20 July, 2024. 
Where? Easthampstead Works, Town Square, Bracknell, Berkshire, UK. RG12 1BH 
Where’s that? Go past Fenwicks and it’s the big brutalist building right ahead. But don’t judge this ‘book’ by its cover! It may be old but it’s got a big heart (and a fab coffee shop!) 
What time? 10am – 4pm. 
How much? Entry is FREE!

Tranquilo Retreat Blog:

A love of reading led to a love of writing.

Christina Consolino Blog:

Author Helen Garraway and I might write in different genres, but we certainly have (at least) two things in common: both of us inherited our love of reading from our mothers, and we started writing somewhat late in the game. Despite her delayed start, Helen is doing something exactly right: she’s an award-winning and USA Today and Amazon bestselling author whose books are called “intelligent,” “compelling,” and “amazing.” Read more …

My latest book:

OblivionGate

Having survived Apologia and faced down the Angelic Assembly, Demavrian has every right to be feeling triumphant, but the threat hanging over his head from the vengeful god, Kaenera, is enough to snuff out any celebrations.

His fledglings are distraught and in disarray, Solanji’s brother is still without a soul and Solanji has no idea how her SoulBreathing works. He has no idea how to manage the Oblivion Gate and even with his Gate Wraith’s help, the burden of the soulless banging on the door may be his undoing.

Kaenera is poised to strike back and if Demavrian doesn’t learn the secrets of the Oblivion Gate fast enough, he may be the shortest lived Gate Keeper in history.

OblivionGate is the third enthralling book in the Fantasy Romance SoulMist series full of vibrant characters, political intrigue and betrayal.

Book One: SoulBreather

Book Two: DragonBound
