GENRE: Fantasy/YA
After losing
everything, all seventeen-year-old Thea wanted was to be a normal teenager.
Instead, she was attacked by a mysterious creature she thought only existed in fairy
tales. Now thrown into the unknown realm of Faey, Thea is forced to determine
the difference between reality and fantasy, in a world ruled by a dark elite
and a society wracked by intolerance and prejudice. With the support of her new
friends and a mysterious dark haired, blue-eyed guardian watching her every
move, Thea will discover that when it comes to Faey, nothing is what it seems.
Will her courage and desire to save this new world from darkness be enough? Or
will Thea be the next victim to fall to the dark whispers of fate...

EXCERPT:
“No!” I screamed. It had happened again. This was the fourth
night in a row I had
woken up with a start, beads of sweat dampening my forehead
and a sick feeling
swirling in my stomach. Rubbing my face whilst trying to sit
up I thought back to the
same terrifying dream that had been haunting me for weeks
now. Not that I expected it
to be any other way. I mean, watching your parents die in a
car crash will have that
effect on you. The difference was that I was supposed to
have died. I know it sounds
crazy but there was no way I should have survived that; yet
I had, and I was sure that
the only reason I was still alive was because of the bright
light that had emanated from
my body.
We were supposed to have been setting off on a three-month
expedition around India,
but only got as far as our local town in Montana before it
happened. One minute I was
sitting in the back of the car fiddling with my iPod and the
next second I’d heard Mom
screaming. I’d looked up just in time to see a car skidding
along on the road before it
hit us side-on, flipping us into a ditch. Even now the fear
I’d felt at the time – the fear
of what was to come – still swallows me whole. Time had
seemed to slow down as I
had watched my mom and dad being thrown around as the car
had turned upside
down. Our screams had been overwhelming and I’d been
reaching my breaking point,
when suddenly all went silent and I had been engulfed in a
bright, orange glow that
had blinded me. Everything after that was hazy. I remember
smacking my head on the
window, which had been followed by an unbearable pain that
had made my skull feel
as though it would explode. I put my hand to my forehead,
feeling a warm and sticky
liquid trickling down the side of my face. Putting my hand
out in front of me, I saw it
was blood, but my fuzzy brain couldn’t comprehend what I was
seeing. It was at that
point black spots started to creep into my vision, making
everything seem blurry.
Then, however much I tried to stay awake, the darkness won
and I slipped out of
consciousness.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
I live in Surrey, England, a short walk from the beautiful
Windsor Park, with my husband Richard and our two gorgeous children Noah and
Olivia. For me, writing is nothing short of an addiction and I often find
myself sneaking out to my writing shed for just a few minutes, which can often
turn into hours of pure, unadulterated bliss catching up with my characters and
continuing their story. In-between writing, I teach in a primary school where
there’s never a dull moment! I will also often be found Kindle in hand, reading
a wide variety of genres but with YA fantasy and paranormal romance at the
forefront of my reading list. Although I’m currently writing the second book in
the Driel trilogy, other characters involving all things fantasy, paranormal
and YA romance are jockeying for position, wanting me to write their story
next, so watch this space! It is such a privilege to share my stories with you
the reader. Thank you enough for taking the time to find out more about me.
