Into The Witchwood – Méabh McDonnell

I'm delighted to be taking part in the blog tour for Into the Witchwood by Méabh McDonnell a tale filled with hope and magic and wonder, whilst equally dealing with delicate and emotive themes of loss and self worth within the safety and hopefulness of Middle Grade. On reading Into the Witchwood, I find I …

Glassborn- Peter Bunzl

I’m delighted to be rounding off the celebrations for the publication of Glassborn by Peter Bunzl which launched yesterday. I've been a huge fan of Peter's writing since Cogheart with its ability to address the shadows of our ordinary lives and shine a light of hope for healing through the realms of historically inspired fantasy.
