Welcome to my new website! It’s taken almost two months of hard graft, tears, and increasingly imaginative insults thrown at my computer screen but now we’re here and I’m thoroughly excited to take this next step on my writing journey.

 

In April 2021, I took the (rather terrifying) decision to go indie. The reasons are various and probably deserve a blog post all on their own so I won’t dive into them now, except to say that I’m excited to be working towards publishing my debut novel – a phrase that I’m not sure I’ll ever get tired of saying!

 

Whether you’ve been with me on the journey from the start, or have just joined – a huge thank you for your support. The reading and writing communities are so special, and there’s really no way I would have had the guts to make this call without you.

 

Writing update – I’m working on the second draft of my debut, A Promise of Blood & Stone, which is due out in 2022. I love how this story is shaping up and really can’t wait to bring it into the world. You can find out more about APOBAS here, and if you can’t wait for it to come into the world, just sign up below and meet Merla as a child in an exclusive short story for newsletter subscribers.

 

As always I’ll keep you posted on Instagram and Twitter about all my writing updates. Feel free to reach out in my DMs.
