Hello,
          	
          	I thought it would be a very long time before I had to write anything like this, but two days ago, I lost my beautiful mum. 
          	
          	As such, I can't even contemplate what life looks like for our family now, never mind plan/write books.  She was our everything and no-one loved to read my stories more than she did. 
          	
          	We always talked about what I'd be when I grew up. I'm in my thirties and I still talked about what I wanted to be growing up. Now, in the cold harsh of reality I finally know. I want to be her. I want to possess all the goodness she did, and be the  mother she was to me. 
          	
          	Updates may happen sporadically or not at all. I don't anything any more, except for one thing. All that I and my daughter am, and all that we will be, will have been irrevocably shaped by her.
          	
          	Take care,
          	Marie xxx

Breaking Shadows looks interesting! Just started reading. I am writing my first book in the horror genre. It's about a Cabal of witches in the Appalachians. Would love to hear your thoughts on it since it looks like your area of interest.

Chapter 4 of CONQUERING SHADOWS will be updated Saturday. But until then, here's a little snippet:
          
          A glimmer of optimism bloomed in my chest and before I knew it, it was a beast with great wings hammering at my insides. “We’re going to do this.” I couldn’t tell if I’d meant the words as a question or an affirmation for myself.

Early snippet of Chapter 3 of CONQUERING SHADOWS - new chapters out every Saturday. Enjoy!
          
          Ingrid handed me a cup crowned with a swirling mound of whipped cream. “I wanted to talk to you alone.”
          	I raised an eyebrow, looking from cup to witch. Ingrid still wore the clothes of the Iron Moon, black-laced spiderwebbed dresses and calf-high boots. Her thick ebony hair had been pinned into a sleek bun atop her head, her winter-blue eyes appeared as dull as a stormy sea. Despite the darkness that lingered in the shadow of her gaze, there was a flicker of warmth, a spark of grit and determination. 
          	“Hot chocolate is not the go-to beverage for bad news. Something stronger is the norm, something that burns the throat. What is it? Demons? Nova-”
