It’s Here!!
This book was a beast to finish, and I’m so proud of myself for getting it done on time. It wasn’t the story, which I love, that was the problem. It just took too much energy during a period where I had none to give. I battled my way through drafting and edits, and now I can finally breathe because it’s done and out in the world.
I’m so excited to see what everyone thinks of Joss and Theo’s story. Will readers love it as much as I do? There’s only one way to find out. In the meantime, I’ll be celebrating this release with a meal out and a week off before diving into book 3.
Happy reading! This one’s my favourite so far.
New Year, New Goals
I had a mixed bag of a year in 2025, so I’m looking forward to starting fresh this January. There are so many things I’d love to do, to grow my reach and push myself into new areas. That said, I have to be careful not to burn myself out again, so this year’s goals are smarter and, hopefully, doable with my current energy levels.
One of the things I’m most excited about is being able to sell my books here on my own website. This will mean I get to interact more with readers - adding personalisded signatures and including little extras in the packaging. I’ve even got a new wax seal stamp that I’m dying to try out. It also means more control over the whole process, and a slightly better royalty rate on each sale, which I can put towards the next novel.
It’ll take me a minute to figure out the logistics and processes, but it’s at the top of my priority list after launching The Dragon Stone. Keep an eye out for the announcement coming soon.
New Artwork
I usually only commission artwork to go with the next book I’m releasing, but Jenelle Hovde did such a wonderful piece for The Dragon Stone that I decided to treat myself. Getting one for my 50th birthday is allowed, right? And getting it a couple of years early is too. Poor Dave must be fed up of hearing me justify this decision, but it was completely worth it.
I got the greyscale version at the start of December, the colour draft a few weeks later, and all I can say is WOW! I asked for a picture of all three Dalbot sisters in their library, and they look exactly as I pictured them in my mind. I’m going to print this final piece out and hang it on my office wall. Gorgeous, isn’t it?

Book Club Offer!
What’s better than reading a brand new book? Getting to read it with friends.
I loved being part of a book club where I used to live - getting together every month, comparing impressions of characters or plot points, eating too many snacks to move comfortably afterwards... I miss it.
So I want to do all I can to make reading my book as part of a club as much fun as possible. Bulk deals, meet the author (online) and ask all those burning questions, laugh and chat together. You’ll also get bonus goodies for the book, such as extra scenes and book recipes, as well as exclusive peeks into upcoming projects and opportunities to get an honourable mention.
Sound good? If so, or if you have any questions, please get in touch. I'd love to work with you and make your club’s experience of reading The Wolf King as magical as possible.
