New Book - April Release

It's almost here!

Book 2 in my Daughter of Kali series now has a release date, and I am very excited. April 5th will see the birth of the sequel to Awakening, featuring our heroes Kaz, Em, Darius, and a whole new cast of characters.

In Daughter of Kali:Unholy Alliance Kaz is now sixteen and a Warrior, but her Mum is still desperately ill. It's a tale of adventure, demon-slaying, and kick-ass heroines - but it's also about family, loyalty, and how far we'd go to protect the ones we love, even if the people around us don't understand what we're doing.

Here's the blurb on the back (always one of the hardest bits to write, in my experience!) 

Demons, magic, and a mythical beast named Gary….

Sixteen year old Kaz is now a trained Warrior for the secret society known as the Guild. Just like her mother before her. But her Mum is in a coma, and only demonic power can save her.

Going against everything the Guild stands for, Kaz must make an unholy alliance with the Named One who once inhabited her mother.

She also has a Goddess on her case. Kali wants her to fulfil a prophecy - only Kaz isn't quite sure what that is.​

Her own power, the bloodthirsty inner voice she calls the other, is getting stronger. And as if that wasn’t enough, her emotions are going haywire. She’s torn between Darius, the Warrior in love with her best friend; and Jack, dark, brooding, and a bit irritating.

Kaz finds herself navigating a dangerous path at great cost. The lives of those she loves are in danger, and her only hope of saving them is to solve the mystery of the prophecy - even if it means losing herself.

In honour of the new release, my publishers Peach have also updated the cover of book 1, Daughter of Kali: Awakening. 

What do you think?  I like it - but then, I'm biased!

Sequels are tricky things to write - how much detail do you put in from the first book? How much will readers remember, and should you assume some readers haven't read book 1 at all?

Hopefully I've got the balance right but I would love to hear from other authors who've written a series to get their take. 

You don't have to read Awakening to make sense of Unholy Alliance - but it helps.



Unholy Alliance will be available on Amazon from April 5th at a promotional discounted price. I hope you snap up a copy, and please leave me a review if you can.

Because unlike my main character Kaz, I actually care what other people think!
