Hey Reader.
April is a month that moves. Tides shift, seasons turn, and the world leans fully into the warmth it has been promising since February. In old folk traditions, this was a time of threshold crossings and fresh starts, when anything planted, whether in soil or in the heart, had the best chance of taking root. And this April, I have some very exciting turning points of my own to share! ๐ท
๐ฃ Easter Blessings Wishing you all a wonderfully happy Easter! Whether you are spending the long weekend with loved ones, curled up with a good book, or hunting for chocolate in increasingly unlikely places, I hope Good Friday and Easter Monday bring you plenty of rest, joy, and sweetness. ๐๐ธ
Anyway, what else has happened since last we spoke, and what's coming up? Let me tell you... ๐
The big news, the moment I have been working towards for so long, is finally here. Still Waters, Deep, the first book in the Between Hill and Sea series, releases on the 17th April!
This story has been so close to my heart, and sending it out into the world feels equal parts terrifying and wonderful. If a contemporary fantasy, magical realism romance sounds right up your street, I would love for you to give it a read. And if you have already signed up to the ARC list, thank you so much. Your support truly means everything. ๐
Still Waters, Deep has been with my editor and Critique Partner, and things are moving along beautifully. If you have not yet had a chance to read Talise's interview over at Archaeolibrarian โ I Dig Good Books, do pop over for a peek at the story and an exclusive excerpt! ๐
They say the lake answers when the moon burns blue.
In the shadowed water of Llyn Du, hydrologist Talise Calder comes searching for scientific truthโand finds a man shaped from water, memory, and an ancient sorrow. When a red thread of fate binds them together, a quiet, aching love begins to surface.
But the lake does not remain still. As its waters rise and old vows stir beneath the surface, Talise is drawn into a bond that defies time and asks for sacrifice, yet never demands what love should not freely give.
To choose him is to step into a destiny woven by Ariandwyn, the ancient goddess who waits between hill and sea and remembers every promise spoken at the waterโs edge.
Tender and haunting, Still Waters, Deep is a standalone novel in the Between Hill and Sea series, steeped in Welsh folkloreโwhere love is gentle, magic is old, and the waters remember every name.
On the 14th April, Bridge of Bones, the third book in the Brodyr Alarch series, celebrates its very first birthday! It is hard to believe a whole year has passed since this book made its way out into the world. If you have not yet had a chance to read it, what better excuse than a birthday to pick it up? I would love to hear your thoughts if you do. ๐ฅณ๐

The 15th April is National Laverbread Day, a wonderful celebration of one of Wales's most beloved and distinctive delicacies.

Raise a toast to the sea!

As April unfolds, I would love to know what this bright, turning month is bringing for you. Are there books you are falling into, creative projects taking shape, or small joys you are tucking away? And AUTHORS, what is stirring on your creative horizons as spring settles in properly?
You are always warmly welcome over in Morganโs Musings, my Facebook group, where readers and writers gather for sneak peeks, behind the scenes updates, story chat, and everyday bookish magic. It is a cosy, welcoming space and there is always room for one more. ๐ฅ๐
Wherever April finds you, I hope it brings you energy, excitement, and a little of that old turning point magic. May the days feel full of possibility, your reading pile feel gloriously overwhelming, and the weeks ahead unfold with warmth and wonder.
Thank you, as always, for being here. It means the world. ๐
Until next month, take care and happy reading! ๐
