UPDATE! 🌹🎉

I realize not many people have access to much right now, so I put the eBook version of Beyond The Mark down to the lowest I could on Amazon, which is $0.99

Hope this helps it become more accessible, I'd rather continue the story than make money, so I hope you enjoy!

#Fantasy #Author
A stylized cover art for the book titled "Beyond the Mark: Ashes of the Hero," featuring a silhouette of a cloaked figure in a dark, magical forest. The figure, shrouded in shadow, is holding a glowing sword with a vibrant red hue. Intricate patterns adorn the figure's cloak, evoking a sense of mystery and fantasy. The background showcases an eerie forest with bare, twisted trees and ethereal lights, creating a mystical and foreboding atmosphere. In the distance, a castle with spires looms against a pale, glowing sky, adding a sense of adventure and danger to the scene. The title is prominently displayed at the top in bold, stylized lettering, with a vivid gradient effect that contrasts with the darker tones of the artwork. The overall composition conveys themes of heroism, darkness, and a journey into the unknown.

I know ‘The Wedding’ isn’t out until 26th Feb, but if you’re looking for a Christmas read, can I recommend my other novel ‘Where There’s Smoke.’ Available to buy on Amazon bit.ly/4p4YBGN
Books make great stocking fillers.

Finished reading 'Into the Fire' - part of the Helen Grace series of books, although this book can be read as a standalone. From the opening page to the very last chapter, I was hooked. A thoroughly enjoyable read. @m_j_arlidge @orionbooks #amreading #amreviewing #books #writingcommunity

Kew Gardens – a quiet oasis amid the hustle and bustle of London. After a few hours among the greenery I have a full heart and very sore feet. 😊
