  About the Brightmoon Annals

  The Brightmoon Annals is a series of books all set in the same world, some five thousand years after it was reshaped by a magical catastrophe. The disaster almost destroyed magic – but not quite. The many different ways in which the pre-catastrophe mages tried to keep magic alive forms the theme of the series.

  Each book can be read independently of all the others, but some characters and artefacts from earlier books make an appearance in later books, so there are fun references to enjoy for those who read the series in order. The Fire Mages’ Daughter is a sequel, and best read after The Fire Mages.

  Bennamore clashes with the coastal ports; two different cultures, two forms of magic.

  5: The Fire Mages’ Daughter, published Jan 2016

  A dragon’s egg. An unusual child. A dangerous journey to find answers.

  7: The Second God, projected publication late-2016

  A sequel to The Fire Mages’ Daughter. A rival god appears to threaten Ly-haam, who must call on help from Drina and Arran to face up to his responsibilities to his people and prevent another war.

  About the author

  I live in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland with my husband, my grown up daughter and a mad cat. I like chocolate, whisky, my Kindle, massed pipe bands, long leisurely lunches, watching TV with my daughter, chocolate, going places in my campervan, eating pizza in Italy, summer nights that never get dark, wood fires in winter, chocolate, the view from the study window looking out over the Moray Firth and the Black Isle to the mountains beyond. And chocolate. I dislike driving on motorways, cooking, shopping, hospitals. The Fire Mages’ Daughter is my fifth published work.
