What's in the works? WITCHES OF RAVEN'S LANDING

  Hey folks, I hope this finds you well and staying safe. Here's a quick update on what's in the works, books coming in the first half of 2021 :)

First up, I'm working on a series, and all three books will be published together. Hopefully by March. Covers are in the works, exciting! These are paranormal romances, three stories featuring three different couples who appear across the series. It's set in present day (mostly, one story has a timeslip element ;) and nature magic is at its heart. There's a background story over-arcing the relationships, and lots of recurring characters. I'm loving working with the magical community of Raven's Landing, a gorgeous coastal town in North Cornwall. Readers who enjoyed my Taskill Witches of Scotland series might enjoy these books. 

For those who might want a teaser, I'll paste the cover copy for each story below. My blog is currently closed to comments due to the amount of spam I was being bombarded with, but do get in touch via my email address (which appears on the right hand side menu) if you'd like to receive ARCs of the three novels when they're ready, or if you'd like to feature the series on your blog. 

The WITCHES OF RAVEN'S LANDING series

Coming in 2021!

A COVEN OF HER OWN ~ WITCHES OF RAVEN'SLANDING Book one

Under the watchful eye of the local witches, Sunny Chambers is about to discover her magic.

Sunny Chambers loves the thatched cottage she inherited from her Grandma on the rugged Cornish coast. The only thing that would make it even better is if the man of her dreams was real. Sunny's about to discover she has the magical power to travel through time and actually meet the mystery man who walks through her dreams, save him from a fate worse than death, and a whole lot more besides.

Two centuries earlier, Cullen Thaine is due to leave on a hellbound vessel, his soul promised to the Lord of the Underworld, when Sunny finds herself in his arms, with the power to rescue him from a dark and powerful witch. She has to be dreaming, right? This is Sunny's initiation into the Raven's Landing coven, but our benevolent white witches have an enemy, and he has his own plans for the lovely Sunny Chambers.

 Cullen and Sunny have become the focus of the local coven war, and their destiny is now at stake. Sunny needs to learn all about her magical heritage, figure out how she traveled back in time, and cope with the coven war...while falling hopelessly in love with a lusty hunk from the 1800s.

A CUCKOO IN THE COVEN ~ WITCHES OF RAVEN'S LANDING Book two

 There's a new witch in town, but who is this mysterious stranger and why has he come to Raven's Landing?

Rowena Meldrum is the baker at The Witch’s Brew café, and this shy young witch can only imagine sharing her precious moments with a trusted lover, until Caleb Meriwether strolls into her life. This handsome stranger beguiles and seduces her, but does he have a dubious motive for doing so? Rowena’s instinctively wary because she once trusted a male witch who tricked her, and kept her prisoner. Nevertheless, her heart has been entranced, and even the disapproval of her own coven can’t stop her falling in love with a man she knows nothing about.

Caleb is a loner, a male witch with no history, and no coven. He doesn’t want or need a coven, but he’s on the hunt for knowledge. He agrees to infiltrate the Raven’s Landing community in exchange for vital information about his own origins, and sees Rowena as his way in. But the powerful London witch who holds the key to his past is playing a wicked game, and Caleb needs to find out what it is. Getting mixed up with an adorable innocent like Rowena is only going to hinder his progress, right? It’s imperative he cast her aside. What he didn’t account for was the power of love, the strength of the Raven’s Landing coven, and the revelations they might reveal. 

CHAOS IN THE COVEN ~ WITCHES OF RAVEN'SLANDING Book three

The paranormal heritage of Raven's Landing is about to be torn apart for the sake of a documentary, throwing the local coven into chaos...

Aveline and Eben are devoted friends, but Eben wants more - and deep down, so does Aveline. Something is holding them apart - their pasts. Eben Ayotunde is a stoic, gifted male witch, one who learned of his magic in a baptism of fire in his homeland. He is humble and hardworking, but when provoked strikes like lightning, with fire and brimstone as his tools. Eben came to Raven's Landing to be at one with people of his kind, but his attraction to Aveline allows him no peace. When she is threatened, there's no other choice for Eben but to protect her, even if it risks the disapproval of the Witches Council, and the wrath of the Lord of the Underworld.

Aveline Pascoe, the respected local librarian, mourns the loss of the academic life she had before she learned she was magical, and that's what's holding her back from loving Eben. When Aveline's ex arrives - a professor who scorns the supernatural - to take apart the mythology and folklore of Raven's Landing, Aveline is forced to face her past, and defend what she has become. In doing so, she learns what is worth defending, and who is destined to be her true hero.
