Time to catch up on what's been happening this past month, and see what's coming up.

Hey Reader.

May has arrived in a soft rush of green hills, brighter evenings, and that sense of the year quietly shifting gears. It always feels like a month of movement as things are waking up properly, ideas stretching out into the light, and everywhere is a beautiful verdant green. 🌷

May Day has already been and gone, but I hope you had a wonderful day.

Anyway, what else has happened since last we spoke, and what's coming up? Let me tell you... 💙

I’ve started writing Among Whispering Flames, the next book in the Between Hill and Sea series, set in 19th-century rural Wales.

This one has been tugging at me in a very persistent way, with smoke, old folklore, and the uneasy space between superstition and survival. It’s still early days, but I’m already enjoying how the story is unfolding and how the land itself seems to press in on the characters.

I'll tell you more about it next time.

💬 Come find me on Discord

I’ve also set up a Discord server, where I’ll be hanging out more regularly. It’s a space for readers, authors, writing chat, folklore rabbit holes, and general bookish chaos. I’d love to see familiar names there.

🛒 Direct books + signed copies via Payhip

I also now have a Payhip shop, where you can buy my books directly in all formats, even gift cards.

A few perks to consider:

• Often cheaper than retail platforms
• Signed copies available
• Direct support for my writing

The only catch is that signed copies do need postage added, but I’ll always keep it as reasonable as possible.

Grab yours before they are gone!

As May settles in, I’d love to hear what this turning month is bringing your way. Are there stories you’re getting lost in, creative ideas beginning to take shape, or small everyday joys you’re gathering up as the year warms? And for the AUTHORS among you, what’s stirring on your creative horizon as everything starts to bloom a little more boldly?

You’re always warmly welcome in Morgan’s Musings, my Facebook group, where readers and writers come together for sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes updates, story conversations, and all things bookish. It’s a cosy, friendly space with plenty of room for anyone who fancies joining in. 🔥📚

You can also find me over on Discord if you’d like a more chatty, real-time space for writing talk, folklore tangents, and general bookish chaos. And if you prefer to explore my books directly, my Payhip shop is the place to go for ebooks, hard copies, and signed editions.

Wherever May finds you, I hope it brings a sense of momentum, a few unexpected sparks of inspiration, and plenty of time for the things you love. May your reading stack be abundant, your days feel bright with possibility, and the weeks ahead unfold gently and well.

Thank you, as always, for being here. It means the world. 💌

Until next month, take care and happy reading! 💙
