about me

Her debut poetry collection "Cats and Other Myths" ISBN 9781907276644 is published by Lapwing Publications. It is poetry that finds contemporary relevance in the echoes of myth and legend and the mythic in the day to day world around us.

Last year, the first 11 chapters of A DARKER MOON were uploaded here. Rather wonderfully, the book is due out from the US publisher, Vagabondage Press in autumn 2012.

Now it's the turn of Witchlight, a cross-genre fantasy/women's fiction novel of approximately 70,000 words. Cover Design by the talented Iso Nuys.

Please don't spam me as I'll only ignore you and then you'll get upset. If you want my attention, comment on Witchlight. Do note that if I say I'll look at your book then I will - eventually - but it won't always happen instantaneously. If I like it I'll comment on it. If I like it even more I'll back it, but I won't back it automatically just because you've backed mine, however grateful I am, and I genuinely am, that you have backed WITCHLIGHT.

Witchlight

J.S.Watts

Only your mother can make you a witch. Magic is hereditary, but you need a mother's love and guidance to find your true witchlight.


Holly has been mortal all her life. Now at thirty-eight, her fairy godfather is here to tell her she’s a witch and suddenly she's coming to terms with the uncertainties of an alarmingly magic fuelled world. Magic is not like it is in the books and films and she starts to doubt whether her fairy godfather, Partridge Mayflower, is the fey, avuncular charmer he appears. When appearances are magically deceptive, she cannot afford to trust those closest to her, including herself. Accidents start to happen, people die, Old Magic is on the hunt , but In the age old game of feline and rodent, just who is the cat and who is the mouse?

The full manuscript of Witchlight is complete at approximately 70,000 words.

Confession – murder most necessary, initially with a nourish tone, but then more an insightful, if slightly wry, exploration of domestic violence. Entertaining in a dark way. Nit noticed: Punctuation Would a grown woman still believe in Pooh? view book

A Damn Good Bargain – an intriguing and mythic fable; an adult fairy tale for the present day. Nicely done. Nit noticed: “traveling” should be travelling “listen (to) every single word….” “Gold is worth its while only the sun can be seen” ???? “carryed” should be “carried” view book

Chaos Division – Like it. Smoothly written, fast paced crime story which defies the attempted realism of the genre with some wonderful quirkiness. The sense of a life out of control, if not from ill matched socks then from the Chaos Division itself. All slightly left field, all rather wonderful. ... view book

A Criminal Act? - What a fun read!. It took me a little while to work out where this was headed. The Deputy drooling, even though Eleven’s lower limbs weren’t visible, confused me for a while and then the light bulb came on. The only problem is, I can’t work out who I am. Isn’t that always the way? ... view book
