As December settles in and the world feels edged with starlight, it feels like the perfect time to share a story shaped by winter magic and myth. ❄️✨

Whispers and Wings (Brodyr Alarch #6), coming 3rd January 2026, follows Gerallt—marked for twenty-four years by Arianrhod’s blessing of a swan’s wing—and Aderyn, the humble girl who hears the quiet language of geese.

Through lingering shadows, divine bargains, and the echoes of old betrayals, the two must discover whether love, patience, and courage can heal a curse that has lasted a lifetime.

Tell me: what winter release are you most excited for?

I’m so glad that I don’t really pay attention to the reviews of other readers (I read them, though), and that I did a bit of digging around as to why there seemed to be so much negativity on Goodreads. I really enjoyed North is the Night.

The main attraction for me was the promise of some Finnish mythology and it’s diminishment under the cosh of Christianity. I love a bit of myth and legend in any and/ or all of its forms and nationalities, and North is the Night didn’t disappoint.

I loved the premis of the two female characters ending up in Tuonela (the land of the dead) even though they’re both very much alive.

Love, magic, death, life and bravery - it’s a heady mix!

June is National Rose Month, with the National Red Rose Day on the 12th. 🌹

June also always feels like the month when folklore fully wakes into the light. Perhaps it's because so many traditional customs gather around Midsummer and the Summer Solstice. Bonfires on the hills, herbs gathered at their most potent, sacred wells, stories of fairies, dreams, and the strange folklore surrounding fern seed all seem to belong to this time of year.

Something is fascinating about a season so full of sunlight, also carrying so many tales of magic, blessing, and hidden knowledge. The longest day of the year has inspired stories for centuries, and it's easy to see why.

Do you have a favourite piece of Midsummer folklore?

A magical story.

The Garden Gnome is a beautifully story. I love the way that the lives of so many are interwoven and work well together. The blend of past and present, magic and science is perfect. There's enough of everything to keep everyone intrigued and reading but without being bombarded with too much if the things you wouldn't normally be into. The descriptive balance is also good, enough to build a picture but still plenty of room for your imagination to play with the carefully chosen words of Jeff McIntyre.
    I'm pretty sure Jeff has some magical powers which he's used to created a cleverly refreshing story.

You'll definitely needs snacks for this one as you won't be wanting to put this down!
