Nice work! British folklore is brilliant — eerie, inspiring, funny, and sometimes shocking, and so much of it is connected to its environment. I absolutely love it.

September stats - you can tell I'm back at work, because I've read fewer books and the amount of audiobooks have gone up. Highlights: Blood Surge by Dianna Hardy and Appointment in Paris by Jane Thynne. Lows: Levitation for Beginners by Suzannah Dunn. 💙📚 #booksky

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Blood Surge is an intriguing mix of Urban Fantasy and Vampiric lore. The characters are complex, flawed, and completely intriguing.” — Book Reviews by Lynn (read the full review at www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0FM...)

✔️ lots of action
✔️ spice
✔️ plot
✔️ first in a series
✔️ not a huge cliffhanger (but a little one!)

If you loved both Eye of the Storm and The Witching Pen series, you’re in for a new treat.

Spent the last two days going over my 65,000 words and polishing them up. Switched a whole chapter to another’s POV. Added a crucial sequence. Now going to write the last 20K words (approx. Might be more). This baby will be finished soon!
