My Weekly Dispatch

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

Hello Reader, I've still got my cough - 4 weeks now! Not that I'm counting or anything.

My fourth week of the Wales Coast Path had me walking through the Trefor Sea Stacks, Fishguard, and Strumble Head Lighthouse. I'm currently heading to Pembroke and am at 53% of my journey. You know, it's a little addictive - in a good way! 💙

So, what has happened since last we spoke? Let me tell you...


I'm working on the final edits of Terrwyn and Sulien's story and am still hopeful for a July release. ARCs will be available very soon, so keep an eye out for an extra email that will head your way very soon. 💙

UEFA EURO 2024

It was #FamilyMovieNight last night, but we had visited friends during the day and the Puds were already watching one by the time we got home, so I put on the Germany vs. Denmark match.

It was a great game - a strict but fair ref (I thought they were as rare as unicorns!), 3 goals disallowed, play suspended for 30 minutes due to adverse weather, and talented players from beginning to end. I still prefer rugby but thoroughly enjoyed this match. Well done to both teams.


Strahov Monastery Library, Prague

Although the monastery dates back to the 12th century, this beautiful library (complete with an ornate, stucco ceiling of Biblical artwork) was built in 1679. On top of being home to several thousand volumes of books, it's also a splendid art gallery that is certainly a must-see for anyone visiting Prague.


What are you up to? Do you have any special plans or events coming up? Let me know if you fancy sharing.

If you want daily updates, don't forget to join my FB group - Morgan's Musings.

Don't forget to check the book below - another new release from the #FaRo Authors! Until next week...

Take care and have fun! 💙


I was born to be their redemption.
Instead, I will become their destruction.
​
​
I liberated Valarian, only to watch my kingdom fall into ruin.
​
An ancient, evil monster was ravaging our realm, rotting our forests and streams and he wouldn’t stop until all the Fae—including me and my bonded warriors—were dead, too.
​
To save my people, I had to fight.
​
War meant a short, bloody future with my beloved males, because our foes were the legendary Old Gods. Vicious. Unstoppable. Unkillable. But with the world on the brink of ruination, a sacrifice must be made, and I couldn’t ask anyone else to pay the ultimate price.
​
That cost was mine to bear, even if I spent every last drop of my stolen power and my blood keeping them safe. Because that’s what queens did. They sacrificed for their people.
​
But if I was going down, I’d make sure to drag the Old Gods into the Pit along with me.

My Monthly Dispatch Time to catch up on what's been happening this past month, and see what's coming up. Hello Reader. I can't believe it's June already. I mean, seriously?! How the hell did that happen? My part of Germany is suffering a very dry spring, although we did have a big thunderstorm yesterday. My poor peonies are now all droopy! It's one of the driest on record, and the sandbanks are showing on the Rhine. It doesn't bode well for summer! Big Pud has finished her exams for this...

My Monthly Dispatch Time to catch up on what's been happening this past month, and see what's coming up. Hello Reader. The blossoms are in full bloom here in Germany, and with May’s gentle light comes exciting news from my little corner of the enchanted world. 🌙✨ I'm still in the midst of job-hunting, but in the meantime, I've been channelling the stress into writing, typing from early morning to late evening. The result? The fastest book I've ever written, and surprisingly, not a hint of...
