The Faery Tale of Amy Thyst

I am absolutely thrilled and giddy x 100 to finally be able to reveal the beautiful front cover of my brand new Faery Tales book, ‘The Faery Tale of Amy Thyst.’ This second title in ‘The Faery Tales’ fantasy series is due out in Summer 2015, exactly a year on from the first novel, ‘The Faery Tale of Rosie Quartz.’ Although the story is finished, my publishers, SilverWood Books, are now working very hard to lovingly...
