Words from the Taellaneth
Back in February, I uploaded the final file for Cloaked, The Taellaneth - Book 5. The fifth and final book in the series.
It was a peculiar feeling. I have lived with Arrow for a long time now. Even when I wasn't actually writing, I was thinking about the stories and what kind of trouble I could get her into, and out of.
Although I was looking forward to getting the book out into the world, it was an odd idea to think that from my next writing session I'll be spending time with other characters. A few weeks down the line, and my new characters are taking over my life in much the same way as Arrow had done. So, I've no time to miss her just now.
I can't say too much about Cloaked without giving away spoilers (which I hate), but I'm hugely grateful, as always, to everyone who's taken the time to leave a review or rating for the book.
Arrow's story is now complete. At the moment I have no plans to continue writing in this world, or to revisit the characters. Who knows, though? Arrow is a tough, compelling character and may draw me back in one day.

Tainted, The Taellaneth - Book 4, is now live in the world.
This was an interesting one to write. Past the mid-point. Not quite at the end. Arrow's grown so much since Concealed (Book 1), and the challenges just keep coming. She's a strong, capable person with her own views about things.
I've got one more book to write in this series, within the planned structure and arc that I dreamt up what seems like an eternity to go. It's bitter-sweet. On the one hand, I've got another book to write, another chance to spend a lot of time with my characters and to see them grow even more. And, with their voices clearer in my head than at the start, I'm really looking forward to writing the next book.
On the other hand, there's one more book to go. Just one. I already know that I will be sorry to say goodbye to Arrow.
But then it will be time to give some space to some of the other characters that are in my head and bugging me to get their stories written. They are not being very patient about it!
I hope you enjoy Tainted.
I love hearing from readers, so if you do have any questions about my writing, please get in touch.

A few short months ago, publishing my books was still something I planned to do. You know, sometime in the future. Now it's a reality. I'm still getting used to it.
Since the end of June 2018, when I put Concealed (Book 1) on a short pre-order, I now have three books out in the world. Feedback from my lovely readers has been fantastic. I'm humbled and delighted to hear from people who have enjoyed the books, and from those impatiently waiting for the next installment. It's on it's way, I promise!
Three books out marks a turning point in many ways. It's the mid-point of the series, which is going to be five books in total. It's just enough time for me to think that maybe, possibly, I have an idea of what I'm doing behind the scenes in terms of formatting and uploading.
And as a story-teller, the book presented a lot of challenges. Keeping the characters fresh and interesting. Attempting a far more complex plot, and trying not to get lost with the sub-plots. Watching Arrow blooming and growing into her potential, gaining in confidence.
Hope you enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed writing it.
