Stepping Sideways

Mechanical Magic was a fun steampunk story about a merrow experiencing life on land. Stuck working on a steam train and having to hide her identity, being human wasn’t as exciting or as adventurous as Nix thought it was going to be.  I thoroughly enjoyed Mechanical Magic and would happily read more short stories with these characters. A five-star read, I highly recommend it.”

A Glimmer of Uncommon Fairy Tales

"As the story To Free A Mermaid continued and the truth and deeper meaning was woven in, I was really taken with it. 

So much truth and beauty in a fairy tale.

When we tell the vulnerable and true bits of our lives, it adds this depth to the magic of stories." 

 

-Kath Horton,  owner of Under Blue Skies Bookshop Mareeba

We'll Still Be A Family

"We'll Still Be A Family is a cherished book in our family.

'The story is highly relatable, particularly for families experiencing relation or big life changes. It is easy to read with a truly touching narrative that officer comfort and a powerful remind that home is found in the enduring connection of family, no matter the address."
