Paws and Portals is Out in the Wild!

When I started writing Paws and Portals, the UK was feeling the effects of the energy crisis caused by the Ukraine war and poor planning on our side. We’d also seen an increase in wildfires, and now climate scientists are pretty sure we’re doomed. I wanted to write about these things but not in a depressing, real-world way. That’s where fantasy comes to the […]

“Do you sell gnomes?” Bracken asked the frazzled shop assistant, who was trying to balance a stack of floppy-eared, plush bunnies. Bracken felt the urge to grab one between her teeth and flee. Her skin was tight against her skeleton, teeth and fur ready to […]

My IngramSpark copy of Paws and Portals has arrived. Good news is, it doesn't have the same spine alignment issue as the KDP one and the interior paper is so much more like a normal book.

But the cover has a definite magenta hue compared to the KDP one... Considering I created the KDP print file from the IS one, I don't know how the colour profile changed. Or maybe IS is just more magenta-y? #selfpublishing #PawsAndPortals

Paws and Portals - BookWyrm

The city of Kirkhyrst has harnessed magic for everyone. The Grid works tirelessly to bring this modern marvel to all humans within its boundaries, to light the streets, power industry, and fuel communications. Daisy works as a support analyst for the Grid, a respectable job that means she doesn't have to talk to too many people. But lately she's been seeing an increase in magical anomalies passing by her desk. The Ratatoskr shun technology, what nature provides is enough, and they are wary of human interference. When a young Tree Keeper discovers her forest ablaze with magic, the suspicion instantly falls on the Grid, and Daisy and her new intern are called out to the wilds of Ruhann to investigate. The fire is only the start of their magic problems, and Daisy must face up to some hard truths as she gets to the bottom of what's really going on. Will nature prevail? Or are humans destined to ruin everything they touch?
