Well damn if this isn't the greatest review I'm ever going to receive! Did say book two ramps up. 😱🥰

First impressions matter! Hope things get better for Dee after meeting the dragon lord Rillion? #booksky #mustreads #romanticfantasy

Extract from Champion of A'dara Book One.
Kian bowed his head lower. “Thank you, my lord, may I present to you, Dee of Earth.”
He gestured to Dee, who was still trying to make herself invisible, but on being introduced, simply waved at the dragon. “Hi,” she blushed.
“A human girl is your champion?” He erupted in rich deep laughter that bounced off the chamber walls. It took a while for him to calm down. “I have not laughed like that in years,” he said, trying to maintain his composure. Shifting so easily from such a dominating figure to this laid-back individual, Dee wondered if this was how he was most of the time, and not the scary creature Kian had painted in her mind.

Picture shows Champion of A'dara Book One and Heart of A'dara Book Two. The caption reads Torn from Earth and told she's the one to save them, Dee must navigate the magical world of A'dara. But is she the chosen one, or is the prophecy hiding the truth about her fate? The complete A'dara series is out now. A portal high fantasy with low spice, character-driven romance. The perfect escape.

The sands #shift endlessly in the hollow desert of my soul. Just one drop of rain will parch the emptiness inside of me, but no rain falls in this barren wasteland once heralded as the Garden of England. #vss365 Sorry it's bleak, but the lack of rain is getting to me.

Another world calls this summer. Escape to A'dara and follow a young woman named Dee as she navigates a new magical world. Final book dropping soon so dip into a portal fantasy with low spice romance this summer. A little dark, a lot cosy. #booksky #summerreads #romantasy No AI, just coffee & wine.

Picture shows a night sky over the ocean with two moons. Caption reads:Lanterns hung from the streets to the harbour, giving everything a warm glow, and the bioluminescent waves crashing out at sea gave a magical feel to the warm summer evening. Dee had stared in awe when they first made their way to the waterfront. The second moon, smaller than the usual one, was rising above the horizon. She had honestly thought perhaps this was Earth at some point in the past, but the new moon made her wobble slightly, knowing she was on another planet for sure.

Picture shows champion of A'dara in different formats. Title reads how would you cope alone on another world? Paperback available Amazon, Barnes and nobles and Blackwell's. Ebook on KU, Amazon and D2D library services.

Alaine saw the pain evident on her face. "Then enjoy his company but remember who he is! Don't let yourself get hurt by another male of A'dara."
"I mean take him to your bed if he offers, but don't fall in love." Delphi piped in, getting a slight slap from Alaine on her arm at such a stupid thing to say. Dee missed the exchange as Delphi mouthed "What?" at Alaine as if it was a perfectly reasonable thing to say.

Lose yourself in a portal fantasy with romance.

Addressing those fantasy age gaps.
“Oh, so how young is young?” she asked casually, wondering if he wasn’t even an adult in elven eyes, panicking at the very sensual dream she’d had about him last night.
“How old are you?”
“Twenty-one.”
“Hmm…well let’s see, given human lifespans, I would only be slightly older than you in terms of how others would see me.”
Oh, thank God, she thought to herself. “Cool,” she breathed, nonchalantly.

Switched to the new groundwood paper option on Amazon, it's cheaper to print and lower carbon, which is nice. Copies came today and the paper feels so soft and smells booky. Very happy. #booksky #writingcommunity #fantasybooks #romantasy

I think all my books will now have in-joke Easter eggs thanks to @romgothsam.bsky.social course on romance! I managed to sneak in a cravat for my new magical realism romance novel! 😹

Text reads: Fran, who had finished her goat cheese salad some time ago and was onto her third large glass of white wine, paused mid-sip at his comment. “Is that important? Or a new trend I don’t know about? Oh, should we all have scarves?”
Julie snorted and left them bickering over styles, the impact of said scarves or if it should instead be a cravat.

The image shows a figure in a hoodie standing on a cliff, with fire coming from her outstretched hand. Caption reads: When elven eyes fall, when the land burns despite constant rain and men are beasts by demon hand. When hope is lost, a champion comes from realms unseen. Through gateway invoked at ancient altar as the blood moon rises within a storm, a warrior bound to elven heart will turn the tide and save A'dara.
