A little post about where I get my inspiration from…!

Thrilled to make this announcement to the world, mainly for the little girl that wrote fanfiction under the cover of night nearly 30 years ago. We did it. Now to get my prose out into the wider world, hand in hand with the wondrously efficient Najla Mamou of Savvy Literary.

It’s an exhausting time to be a writer. Please, as someone who is finally embracing their lifelong dream, can we not create an industry where proving our humanity becomes harder than expressing it?

Some stories about time travel, aren’t to change the past. Sometimes, it’s about falling in love with it. #QuestPit #Q #A #HF #S

Not every time travel story is about changing history. Some are about falling in love with it. RESONANCE is an adult upmarket speculative novel where forgotten objects preserve moments from the past—and one impossible man appears in every century. #ProfilePit #Q #F #H #A

She lives now. He lives then. RESONANCE is about a woman who can step into the past through objects—and the man she meets there who isn’t bound by time. For lovers of literary, atmospheric, slow-burn fiction where tension is emotional, not physical. #QuestPit #Q #A #S

Aaaand on today’s round up of #amquerying, a new full request, as well as a new partial request now mean that after a month of querying we are at a comfortable 3 fulls and 3 partials! To say that I feel dropping my 1st manuscript to query RESONANCE was the right choice, is an UNDERSTATEMENT!

TIME TRAVELLERS WIFE x ADDIE LaRUE But let me tell it to you in rhyming verse 🕰️ Time Travel 🧳 History ❤️ Romance ❤️‍🔥 Yearning 🎭 Tragedy 📈 Upmarket ✨ Speculative #UnhingedPit #W #A #Spec
She runs a stately home with poise,
With colour-coded lists and noise.
She does not spiral. She does not roam.
She alphabetises her feelings at home.

Until one antique bowl one night
Drops her straight through time mid-flight.
Now there’s a man who doesn’t age,
Who waits for her on history’s page.

Her boyfriend knelt. He bought a ring.
He offered home and everything.
She said yes. It felt secure.
Predictable. Correct. Mature.

But there’s a man who does not age,
Who waits unmoved on history’s page.
And wanting him feels reckless, wild —
Like setting fire to something mild.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND x TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY She was hidden in the mortal world for a reason. When grief fractures reality, she becomes the one thing immortals fear: a human with power. #QuestPit #F #LF #A #Q

ANGELS OF TIME The gate to Alaran doesn’t open with magic. It opens with grief — the kind that bends time until it breaks. Love built the bridge. Loss made her cross it. #QuestPit #Q #A #F #LF
