The WELL OF SECRETS is available for pre-order on Amazon!

The publication date is 17 October  2015, but if you can't wait till then, make sure you order your copy now.

To celebrate the upcoming launch, I will be running an Amazon free giveaway, and a Goodreads giveaway of JOURNEY OF SHADOWS, the first book in the series. Watch this space for more details - coming soon!

Back to the trilogy - The Palâdnith Chronicles has been quite a journey.

I began this the first draft of what would eventually become the first two books of the series, during 2009, and finished the first draft a year later. That story was huge, and so I split it into two novels, and fleshed out the plot to create JOURNEY OF SHADOWS and THE CITADEL OF LIES. If the end of JOURNEY OF SHADOWS appears a bit of a cliff-hanger, that’s why – it was initially part one of a much bigger book!

THE WELL OF SECRETS was the hardest of the three novels to write. There were so many subplots to bring together, so many loose ends to tie up. As I began the draft of the third part of the series, I also began writing a bit of backstory. This eventually became a tale in its own right and in 2014 I wrote DEEP-SPIRE, the prequel novella to the series (available as a free PDF download on my website).

DEEP-SPIRE takes place forty years before Seth, Eni and Val’s adventures, and tells the story of their mother Belythna. Writing DEEP-SPIRE was a bit of a detour, and slowed down the writing and publication of THE WELL OF SECRETS – however, I think the series is better for it.

So, seven years after I started work on JOURNEY OF SHADOWS, my own journey is now complete. It has been sad saying goodbye to the characters and world I have grown to love, but at the same time I’m looking forward to embarking on new adventures.
