Updated cover: 17th March, 2018
Original publication date: November, 2011.
Gothic Romance | Dark Fantasy | Adult Fairy Tales
Isn't it gorgeous?! After nearly seven years in publication, it was high time for a cover change.

The story is the same, with back matter updated and I think one typo was fixed.

​The new cover is now live on all websites, and the paperback cover on Amazon will change to match it in the next couple of days. And the best part? It's still only $0.99 / 99p

The day you get married, is supposed to be the happiest day of your life. Dreams are made of such things. But I forgot. I could blame the witch if I wanted to – in fact I did, for quite a while after – but the fault can only lie with me. Being with him made me so happy – so very, very happy – that I chose to forget. I chose amnesia. If I had had any foresight into how my flippant choice would ruin him, I would have saved him the heartbreak. I would have forfeited my knowing him, my own selfishness, lived forever in the pain of unfulfillment, if it meant he could be spared....

When you love someone so much that your heart aches without them in your life, would you give up everything you've ever known to be with them? Would you give up your identity?

This is exactly what Aria did. But her sacrifice comes at a great cost, with startling consequences. With no memory of her previous life, she's forgotten what she really is, and who she's left behind: a jealous, possessive God, who's finally found her, and will stop at nothing to keep her heart from ever straying again.

In this dark and erotically passionate retelling of The Little Mermaid, can a love founded on humanity, stand the passing of time, an angry sea-God, and even death itself?

Length: Novelette (over 10,000 words)

External Reviews:

"....a beautiful yet tragic story of true love and sacrifice." - Bitten By Paranormal Romance, 5 Stars, an Alpha Howl!

"....happily sad ... a story of love, sacrifice, and choices." - Romance Novel Junkies, 4 Stars

"The elements of this story weave seamlessly together, creating a touching, truly beautiful world I would personally love to visit .... I would highly recommend this story to anyone who has ever been in love before." - Night Owl Reviews, 4.25 Stars

Five years after her life changed forever, Jennifer Warren has put her past firmly behind her - at least, she's tried. A few sweaty nightmares here and there are a small price to pay for the freedom she won. No longer a werewolf, but human, she works as an office manager for a health and beauty spa in York, and keeps herself to herself. It's barely enough to pay the bills, but it's quiet and safe, and the clique of the staff means she's left well enough alone - no one asks her questions; no one wants to get to know her better.

David, her tender, kind boyfriend of two years is all she needs ... and she doesn't really need him, which suits her just fine. Never mind the occasional guilt that she doesn't really love him; he'd never hurt her in a million years - that's worth its weight in gold.

But Jennifer's just received another note - one of those that her mysterious, anonymous 'friend' likes to leave her every now and then; warnings of things to come, people not to trust... Her elusive friend has saved her more than once the past five years.

Only this note has left her breathless; her chest tight. A Supermoon is coming - the first in thirty years - and with it, a total lunar eclipse.

Jennifer's disowned her past, but it hasn't disowned her. As the Earth shadows the full moon, her own shadows threaten to turn on her.

Can you ever escape what you truly are?

Blood never lies.


This is a dark urban fantasy novel of approx. 70,000 words containing scenes of a sexual nature and some violence, which may disturb some readers.

Publisher's Notes: Blood Shadow is a companion novel to the Eye of the Storm series. While you don't have to read Eye of the Storm to enjoy this novel (some background is given), it is recommended in order to gain full understanding of how the characters have arrived at this point. Blood Shadow is part of a mini-series (a duet) called Blood Never Lies, and also acts as a prequel to a brand new series coming in 2019.

Blood Shadow

It's high time I posted a quick update here on my site since not everyone's on Facebook all the time. First of all, I posted a FB update on Blood Shadow and where this new series will lead us. You can read the public post BY CLICKING HERE. My Release Day Newsletter will go out end of March with the Kindle pre-order link for Blood Shadow, as well as the other pre-order links for the book.

The above means my writing is planned out all the way until the end of 2019 - that's a nice feeling! Here's the current line up:

27th April, 2018
Blood Shadow: an Eye Of The Storm companion novel due to be published

27th September, 2018
Aftershock: an Eye Of The Storm companion novel due to be published

February, 2019
Autumn's Fall (Once Times Thrice) due to be published

August, 2019
Untitled New Series #1, book 1, due to be published.

February, 2020
Untitled New Series #2, book 1, due to be published.

​Book Signings

Yesterday, I was at the UK Southern Book Show in Worthing. My next planned signing is Heart of Steel in Sheffield (UK) on 1st June, 2019. This is a ticket only event with a stellar line-up of authors including USA Today and New York Times Bestsellers. All the updates, including excerpts and readings can be found on their public Facebook Group. Blood Shadow, Aftershock and Autumn's Fall will have been published by then so you'll be able to purchase signed copies. This is also the BEST opportunity to buy the SIGNED Eye of the Storm Omnibus because there are no postage charges for me shipping out.

There's a possibility I can squeeze in a book event/signing in Winchester (UK) at the end of June this year since it's fairly local to me. I'll keep you posted on that.

Special Offers

Firstly, if you have not read The Spell of Summer, you can get it completely FREE if you sign up to my Release Day Newsletter (via BookFunnel).

And until 10th March only, Summer's End is 50% off only at Smashwords for Read an eBook Week. This essentially means you can read BOTH book for only $2.50. So if you love contemporary romance with just a touch of the magical, don't miss this deal.

For any new readers who happen to be reading this, I usually write quite dark stuff. This is my "lighter" series.

That's it for now! But 2018 is looking busy, so there will undoubtedly be more soon.

Love,
