BRIGHT RAVEN SKIES, the conclusion to the #sweetblackwaves trilogy out 8/25 (@imprintreads)

My #mondaymood is coming straight from Kernyv as I put the finishing touches on Ruan’s chapter for the #brightravenskies pre-order campaign. Who wouldn’t find this landscape romantic and who doesn’t love a brooding prince?

🏰👑🌊ST. MICHAEL’S MOUNT—SBW Trilogy World Building🌊👑🏰
🌊
🌊
🌊
Happy Friday! It is hotter than Hades in London today and I am very much wishing I was by the sea at St. Michael’s Mount in Cornwall, which served as the inspiration for Monwiku Castle.
🏰
🏰
The tidal island is located in Mount’s Bay near the town of Marazion (“Marghas” is Cornish for “market”––hence the name of the port town near Monwiku in the #sweetblackwaves universe). The present day castle on the rock dates from the 14th century but the first monastic buildings on the site date back to the 11th century and there is evidence of people living on the island during the Neolithic period. A leaf-shaped arrowhead was found in what is now part of the modern gardens.
🏰
🏰
Speaking of the gardens, which are King Marc’s pride and joy, I selected a number of the flowers and plants for my descriptions based on what was introduced to Britain by the Romans––who are my Aquilans. These included roses, foxgloves, apples and even onions!
🏰
🏰
There’s still time to enter the #wildsavagestars giveaway and catch up on Branwen’s (mis)adventures before #brightravenskies comes out on August 25th!

I am obsessed with tree tunnels. I found this one in Wiltshire a couple of weeks ago but they’re scattered all over Cornwall—I mean Kernyv 😉. In fact here’s a quote from #WildSavageStars since it’s #onelinewed.
🌳
🌿
🌳
🌿
“Hooves thundering against the moss and dirt, the steed exhaled steam through his nostrils. Branwen had almost caught up to Ruan when the path narrowed into a tunnel of hazel trees. All at once, the branches pressed in on her. As children, she and Essy had declared themselves to be like the honeysuckle vine that wraps around the hazel tree, ever entwined. One could not survive without the other.”

If you’ve read #SweetBlackWaves and have #WildSavageStars on your TBR pile, now is the chance to win a signed copy of WSS and get reading before the trilogy concludes this month!
⭐️
⭐️
⭐️
About WILD SAVAGE STARS: Branwen has a secret powerful enough to destroy two kingdoms.
⭐️
⭐️
Her ancient magic led to a terrible betrayal by both her best friend, the princess Essy, and her first love, Tristan. Now this same magic is changing Branwen. Adrift in a rival court, Branwen must hide the truth from the enemy king by protecting the lovers who broke her heart—and finds herself considering a darker path.
⭐️
⭐️
Not everyone wants the alliance with Branwen’s kingdom to succeed—peace is balanced on a knife’s edge, and her only chance may be to embrace the darkness within…

⭐️🖤⭐️ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY⭐️🖤⭐️
With everything going on, I just remembered it was my two year anniversary since the publication of my debut SWEET BLACK WAVES. To celebrate I’m giving away a hardcover copy! Now is your chance to start the series before the conclusion BRIGHT RAVEN SKIES is out on 8/25!
🌊
🌊
About the book: Two proud kingdoms stand on opposite shores, with only a bloody history between them. 🖤
🌊
As best friend and lady-in-waiting to the princess, Branwen is guided by two principles: devotion to her homeland and hatred for the raiders who killed her parents. When she unknowingly saves the life of her enemy, he awakens her ancient healing magic and opens her heart. Branwen begins to dream of peace, but the princess she serves is not so easily convinced. Fighting for what's right, even as her powers grow beyond her control, will set Branwen against both her best friend and the only man she's ever loved. 🖤
🌊
Inspired by the star-crossed tale of Tristan and Eseult, this is the story of the legend’s true heroine: Branwen. For fans of Graceling and The Mists of Avalon, this is the first book of a lush fantasy trilogy about warring countries, family secrets, and forbidden romance.

These tomatoes make me happy. Borough Market is much quieter these days but my weekly outing (with mask) is something I look forward to. Don’t think I’m enough of a chef to attempt the sourdough challenge, but I make a mean tomato salad. 🍅

Fans of the #sweetblackwaves trilogy know that a #fox is a messenger of the Old Ones. I wrote the first draft long before I moved to #London and next to a #foxden. Both #wildsavagestars and #brightravenskies have been written listening to their not-so-dulcet cries—which may account for the difference in the descriptions of their barks in my books LOL. However the new generation has been born and I can’t resist their sweet little faces. I took this video from my bedroom window this morning—a rare sighting of both parents and all four kits. 🦊

Been thinking about this verse from one of my favourite poets lately as the baby foxes try to stealthily take up residence in my garden. Then I was doing my daily walk around my neighbourhood and discovered this street art. My heart felt full. 🦊
