Summary from Goodreads:
Seventeen year old Talia is struggling to earn a living as a seamstress, surviving in the infamous Camps of war torn Arista. When her soldier fiancé Kellar suggests a bizarre route of escape — stowing away in the cross desert freight train to Leonore, Talia jumps at the chance.
In Leonore she can marry Kellar and expand her business — leaving the war behind... But a freak accident leaves her stranded and alone in the desert. Caught between the two countries, and forced to face her troubled past, Talia must choose between love and revenge, whilst playing the ultimate game of survival. Comforted by The Guardian and haunted by The Ghost, Talia begins a journey that will change her life forever...
‘A rich mix of evocative mysticism and gritty fantasy – Beautiful...’

Writing
For Fun
I
read for relaxation, and I write for fun. I am very lucky to be able
to work writing around my job/family life, but I approach it as a
treat for myself - a bit like a chocolate bar reward, but with less
calories!
That
is not to say I don’t have to be disciplined, and pack in a word
count every day when I have a book in progress, but it means that I
enjoy what I do. I have taught myself to write anywhere, so I can
grab ten minutes on the train, two hours on a plane journey, or five
minutes before school pick up. Of course I do feel a pang of jealousy
when I read an article about an author who has a home office tucked
away somewhere secluded, and there is no doubt my productivity rises
when I get a few hours of peace to really crack on. However, there
is a challenge to fitting writing into the puzzle, and it does mean I
don’t allow myself ‘writers block’ – if I have free time I
know I need to get on with the next book.
Emails
or comments on social media also spur me on to finish the next piece
of work. Readers will say that they liked Talia, but wanted more of
Kellar, or what really happened to Millar? I always answer, and take
up feedback.
Having
signed two different series with two publishers (the Taming Tigers
trilogy is with Fire & Ice YA Books, and the Cloud Red series is
with Limitless Publishing), I consider myself very lucky, and greatly
enjoy working with both.
