Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be another book in The Shadow’s Apprentice series?
While I don’t currently have plans to continue Des and Clev’s story, I do have additional books planned based on other characters in the same world.
Are your books for young adults?
I consider myself a ‘crossover’ author. In other words, I like to believe most of my books can be enjoyed by both adults and young adults. YA fantasy is what I originally devoured as a reader and what inspired me to write starting in my teens, so that’s where I began. But over the years my writing has ‘matured’ to cross over into the adult market.
What genre(s) do you write?
I have branded myself as a ‘fantasy romance’ writer, because something all my books have in common is that they are romantic fantasy. But they also will often cross over into the YA/NA market, be set in dystopian as often as fantastical worlds, could be considered dark or epic, and all have their fair share of action/adventure.
How long have you been writing?
Over a decade! I started in my teens. I actually published my first book when I was 16, though that version was rubbish and not available anymore. I have recently rebranded and taken down a number of published titles for re-release in the coming months/years.
