The Secret of the Tirthas Summer Sale!

The Secret of the Tirthas Summer Sale is here!

secret of the tirthas summer sale


Going somewhere nice this summer? How about if you could avoid all the hassle of travel just by stepping out your backdoor and going to fantastic places through portals hidden in your own garden?

Sounds good, huh? BUT… what if you then found a killer was using those same portals to evade capture?

That’s what happens to Lizzie Jones in The Secret of the Tirthas adventure series. After inheriting her great-uncle’s cottage and ‘garden of rooms’ she discovers mysterious portals, or tirthas, to exotic places all over the world. The tirthas take Lizzie to Kashi, the Indian City of Light, the eerie swamplands of Louisiana, and the treacherous jungle of Cameroon – and many more amazing places.

But soon she finds the power of the tirthas is being exploited by hideous demons and their servants, trying to prevent their summons to the shadowy Unknown Realms. Can Lizzie and her new friends – the elephant rider, Pandu, and police inspector, Raj Faruwallah – stop them before they achieve their evil ends?

Now, hot on the heels of my Ghosts of Alice series promo, I’m holding a Summer Sale on the WHOLE series! The first book, The City of Light, is FREE on Kindle, and all other books – The Book of Life, The Dreamer Falls, The Lady in the Moon Moth Mask and The Unknown Realms – are just 99p / 99c!

Swift - The Story of a Witch out now

I’m excited to announce that my latest book, Swift – The Story of a Witch, is out now!

It’s a double first for me – my first novella, and my first prequel. It’s the story of the mysterious woman who created the garden of portals that Lizzie explores in The Secret of the Tirthas. Here’s what it’s about:

When she materialises in a woodland glade, Hattie Swift knows she’s special, a witch from beyond this world. But why is she here?

A chance encounter with an honest man leads to marriage and a new life in the cottage by the magical glade where she entered the world. She begins to create a garden and uncover the mysterious portals hidden there.

But soon she finds the terrifying creatures that exist through the portals, including the fearsome Jiangshi and worse. Will she live long enough to discover her fate? And at what cost to her husband and family?

Swift – The Story of a Witch is an action-packed prequel to The Secret of the Tirthas fantasy-adventure series, in which the origins of the magical garden of portals is revealed…
