I just finished reading Small Angels by Lauren Owen. You can find my review here: www.instagram.com/p/Db5YV-HiSjT/ #BookReview #FolkloreFiction #RecommendedRead #BookSky

I write fantasy where magic meets technology, and ordinary people find themselves facing extraordinary choices. The Haven Chronicles begins with Haven Wakes. #FantasySeries #AmWritingFantasy #StartHere

Small Angels by Lauren Owen. Scary folklore fiction. Absolutely brilliant.

July has been a month of familiar roads and new writerly paths too. I've continued exploring the world of the Haven Chronicles by reading over the plan for the final book in the series, but I've also been working on a completely new project. #MonthEndReflection #FantasyWriter #LifeOfFi 1/2

I’ve been full-on folklore fiction for the past few weeks. I’ve just finished reading Crow Moon by Suzy Aspley. It’s one of those stories that creeps up on you. I did guess who the guilty party was long before the end but that didn't detract from my enjoyment of this read. #FolkloreFiction 1/2

We’re halfway through the summer already, so I thought it was time to catch you up on what stories I’m tackling this season. Find out in Familiar Roads and New Paths: fiphillipswriter.com/2026/07/19/f... #NewBlogPost #WriterLife #AmWritingFantasy #WritingUpdate #BookSky

A Shadow Falls in Darkacre takes place a year before Haven Wakes and offers a glimpse into one of the most magical corners of the Haven Chronicles. 1/3 #FantasyBooks #HavenChronicles #Darkacre #ShortStory #BookSky

Fantasy readers, I have a question. Do you enjoy companion stories and novellas that explore the edges of a fictional world, or do you prefer sticking to the main novels? Some of my favourite fantasy worlds have side paths worth exploring. #ReaderQuestion #FantasyReaders

If you’re thinking of starting a new fantasy series this summer, the Haven Chronicles begins with Haven Wakes. Think magic, robots, and plenty of doors that go where they really shouldn’t. #FantasySeries #StartHere #SummerReads #BookSky

May has been a productive month. Book 4 is with my publisher. While I wait for feedback, I’ve written an eerie and very human fantasy short story and submitted it to the Bridport Prize competition. Now, I’m onto editing a second short story to bring to my Ko-fi shop later this year. 1/3 #LifeOfFi

I write threshold fantasy because I love stories where something is hidden just underneath the surface or through a seemingly normal door. New to the Haven Chronicles series? Haven Wakes is where it all begins. #FantasySeries #AmWritingFantasy #MagicAndRobots #BookSky

I've just finished reading witchy cosy mystery Haunted, Hexed and Dead by Bella Colby. What a brilliant, funny read and only book 4 in the Witchy at Fifty series. Here's my book review: www.instagram.com/p/DX9u54nCONC/ #BookReview #WitchyFiction #AmReadingCosyMystery #BookSky #RecommendedRead

I’m in that in between space at the moment. Book Four of the Haven Chronicles is with my publisher, and I’m nervously waiting for their feedback. For now, I’m working on two short fantasy stories. It’s a completely different pace and experience to writing a novel. Here’s a snippet: #AuthorLife

I write futuristic fantasy because I love stories that mix up magic, folklore and future tech. The Haven Chronicles begins with Haven Wakes and follows Steve as his understanding of his world changes in so many ways that he never expected. #AmWritingFantasy #FantasySeries #MagicAndRobots #BookSky

This April, I’m reading Fairytale by Stephen King and Haunted, Hexed and Dead by Bella Colby. They're so different but they also both have: - characters I’m rooting for - enough mystery to keep me reading - an author I adore returning to What are you reading? #AprilReads #Horror #WitchyFiction
