A big thank you to the judges! I hope to visit your festival soon.
A big thank you to Mslexia for long listing the draft of my new novel ‘Summer’s Shadow’ in their YA/Children’s Novel Writing competition.
Summer’s Shadow is the first book in an epic fantasy series for the YA market.
Sprawling family trees of old Royal households, wars lost and won, an ancient prophecy, a despotic ruler and a country in turmoil are all somehow connected to one naive girl who is thrown suddenly into a desperate battle to save her country from destruction.
I hope to have more news on the series soon!
