Self-Publishing Delays vs. Author's Biggest Critics...

Hi Everyone

I have been having a bit of a break from writing because I have felt a little rush and I can see the effects of this in my writing.

This is why I have decided (after much thought) that I am going to push back the release date of Split Blood 3 to after summer.

I do not want to publish something I am not fully happy with and this is the main reason for the delay.

I will still focus on improving it but in the meantime I will continue to post the chapters of Love Bite on Wattpad and work towards producing the surprise.

I hope this does not dishearten my readers and I am so grateful for all your support.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Love Bite | FREE Anime Inspired Paranormal Teen Fiction Wattpad Story Update!

Hi, my magical friends!

OK, so I had a lovely lie in this Saturday morning because it is so cold in the UK and I really wish someone would invite that magical bed that you could do all your business from! Lol

I have written seven chapters so far of my FREE Wattpad story, Love Bite (I will be posting Chapter 7 later tonight) and I'm really enjoying developing Luci's character as she is kidnapped and dragged into a deadly realm with spoilt vampire, Tynan and his troll slave.

There are a few shocks and surprises to come as it is not your usual human kidnapping story and the reader gets to find out more about this new world of darkness and how similar the realm is to the human world, just with a sinister, bloody edge.

You will also find out why Luci is so important to Tynan's father and how much danger she really is in as she delves deeper into this dangerous dimension.

I am hoping you guys will enjoy the direction am taking the story in and please VOTE and COMMENT to support me on my first attempt at writing a primarily Teen Fiction story (even though there is still a heavily predominant paranormal theme to it - I had to stay true to my fantasy roots! Lol).

Also, check out the Anime images I have posted on each chapter to enhance the readers experience.


Happy reading guys! :-)

Hey there my Magical Friends!

I have changed direction for the moment and have had the opportunity to do a Guest Post on The Howling Turtle blog.

I would like to send a big thank you to Larissa for giving me the opportunity to do this interesting project and I hope to work with her further in the future.

I chose to discuss my experiences as a self-published author and the ups and downs I have encountered, along with offering some basic advice to those who are thinking about publishing their own book.

From talking about why I started writing to the negative aspects of self-publishing (my experiences), I have shared my thoughts and opinions which will hopefully make some entertaining (and maybe helpful) reading.

Please check it out for more information and support the blogger by following on her blog and social media sites please because without the support, these bloggers cannot continue to bring us great reviews and articles.
Hope you enjoy it guys.

Happy Holidays.

Book Description

‘You are the oil to my fire and no one will ever extinguish us’ 

Enya said as she stroked the scar, which reminds him of his horrific childhood.

Lowell was always the outcast in his pack. Coming from a poor, abusive background, the only attention he knew was when his father used him in illegal Lycan fights. He never knew what love was until he met werewolf, Enya.

Experiencing a similar, isolated upbringing, Enya was the glue that helped Lowell stick together. She was intoxicating to him and he was her addiction. With every second they spent together, they gave each other the rush they needed - Unfortunately, this union was not to last as the rules of the Aliis World clearly state that Lycans are forbidden to communicate, let alone be romantically involved with werewolves.

So what happens when Lycan, Lowell tries to fight his attraction for lower class werewolf, Enya? And can they escape the wrath of vengeful witch, Raven when she finds out Lowell is partly to blame for her sister, Faith’s disappearance?

SEVERELY THOUGHT PROVOKING WITH A STING OF ROMANCE,

SPLIT BLOOD: RISE OF THE WOLF IS A DELICATE TALE OF LOVE, LOSS AND VENGEANCE WITH A BITE
