A Note from Sarah's Writing Desk

"We're deep into the excitement of Halloween here and my kids have inundated me with pumpkin crafts. Here's them posing in their Halloween costumes.

Also big this week: my new release DRAGON TIDE: TIDES OF CHANGE launches today!"

ON THE WRITING FRONT

I have been writing each day. Not as much as I would like though.

Every time I dive back into Mage Trials I'm always surprised by how much I am LOVING the story. You all know how excited I am about the character names - Caelia, Quillian, Crown Prince Nex, Crown Prince Takumi to name a few. And you know I love that CP Takumi is an Imperial Fae Hunter and has a silver dragon called Kizo who glitters more brightly than diamond?

The story is set in Hidden Realm which is comprised of five kingdoms. There are four kingdoms on the mainland . They are the kingdoms of Elerith, Xaedor, Tarene and Qiris.

The fifth kingdom is the Dark Kingdom.

Separated from the mainland by the Abyss of Tiure it is home to the Dark Fae and many terrifying magical creature of war.

The Fae were banished from the mainland to the Dark Kingdom by the Royal Quorum after an "incident" hundreds of years ago and have been forbidden from attending Bellum Magical Combat Academy ever since. Something they are suddenly very feisty about.

How's that sounding to you?

SPECIAL UPDATE ON MY DAD

Dad had another surgery two weeks ago. I hasn't gone well and the next month will be challenging with more surgery likely.

We're doing everything we can to keep his spirits high. I'll keep you posted.

ACADEMY SERIES I'VE ENJOYED

One of the very fun things I got to do researching for Mage Trials was read a HEAP of Academy genre books! Tough job but someone has to do it. Here's three of my favourites. I'd call them upper YA as there's some language and smexy times. Certainly nothing too explicit. These are also available in Kindle Unlimited so you can binge them all if that's your thing!

Fallen Academy

Probably my favourite academy read after Harry Potter

This is a four book series and is complete. It is also available to read in Kindle Unlimited. Such a kick butt heroine! Love it. Loved it!

Supernatural Academy

This has just be be optioned for TV

From Australian Author - Jaymin Eve - Currently two of the three books have released in this series which has just today be optioned for a TV series. Super Cool. Great writing and I love the hair colour each year. - Yep it's in Kindle Unlimited too!

Academy Magic

Binge Worthy!

Four of Five books released. The last one is set for release in December. The first book was a little iffy, but I very much enjoyed the series after I got into it. And you guessed it, it's in Kindle Unlimited too!
