Hi all, and apologies for neglecting this space for so long. Earlier this month I did a live reading and Q&A on YouTube, in support of The Pixel Project, an organisation that raises funds to combat violence against women. The Pixel Project regularly hosts conversations with authors in which they chat about their work, creating female characters, and why it's so important to raise the issue of violence against women [...]
Here's a link to a podcast done recently for the book review site Jean BookNerd. In this I chat with interviewer Erik about my new novel, A Dance with Fate, the Warrior Bards series in general, and a lot of other writing-related topics. This was such fun to do! The picture is of me with my elderly poodle Reggie, who was very patient during the recording. https://www.jeanbooknerd.com/2020/10/podcast-dance-with-fate-juliet.html
Hi all, and apologies for neglecting you! With two new books coming out later in the year, I aim to post more frequently from now on. I am still active on the Facebook fan page, where we recently had fun finding Irish names for some disreputable henchmen-for-hire in the third book of Warrior Bards. That's the novel I'm hard at work on, meaning less time and brain space for social [...]
THE HARP OF KINGS, first book in the Warrior Bards series, is now available for pre-order! Publication date for the US and Australian editions is September 3 2019.

I have been posting news on the Facebook Fan Page but I know not everyone chooses to use Facebook, so here is a catch-up for you. Firstly, the anthology Aurum was published by Ticonderoga Publications recently. You can purchase via their website or the usual online retailers. Aurum contains [...]
Hi all. I didn't realise quite how much time had passed since I posted here! I’ve been posting quite often on the Facebook Fan Page but that's no help for all the readers who don't use Facebook, so a big apology from me, and I will try to do better. I’ve been busy getting the current book finished, and have made that my priority. To those who are waiting for replies to [...]
I'm really happy to let you know that I'm working on a new historical fantasy series for adult readers, called Warrior Bards. The first novel, Harp of Kings, will be published by Penguin in the US in 2019, with two more books to follow. An audio book contract is looking very likely, and of course we are hoping the series will also be published in Australia and in other [...]
