Along with over thirty other authors, I’m going to be contributing a short story to an upcoming anthology.
Bewitched Blooms – A Fundraiser Anthology for Zoe
Zoe is a friend of author, Briar Boleyn, and is currently battling cancer. All proceeds from the anthology will go to Zoe and her family.
Omen and Myth
I’m contributing a short story entitled Omen and Myth. If you’ve read Fable and Legend, you’ll know that Legend had twins with those names. This is the story of what happens to those twins when they reach seventeen. And, if you’ve been wondering what happened to Cobalt… well, this is where you get to find out. That said, you don’t have to have read any of my stories in The Mirrordom Legends series, as the story does squeeze in enough world-building to (hopefully) make sense on its own!
Here’s the official blurb:
In a world where no one can steal, lie or kill, Myth can do all three. She has spent her life hiding from those who would banish her. But when she discovers a letter from the father she never knew, Myth escapes into the outside world. Alongside her reluctant twin, Omen, and a trio of strangers with secrets of their own, Myth plunges headfirst into adventure. But not everyone can be trusted. When Myth’s life is on the line, is discovering where she belongs worth the price of betrayal?
I had the best time writing this story. I’ve always thought, from the moment I wrote about the twins, that they deserved a bit more screen time. However, the whole series was already written out and planned and I didn’t really see where a book about the twins would fit in. So, getting an excuse to mentally go back to Mirrordom and contribute to a good cause, was lovely. I hope you’ll enjoy the short story as much as I enjoyed writing it. I also really enjoyed getting to write about Cobalt as an adult. He’s unarguably my favourite male character from the entire series – his confidence bordering on arrogance, his mind-reading and his uncanny ability to get himself out whatever scrapes his big mouth gets in him into are quite endearing.
Dates for your diary
The official cover reveal will take place on 14 February – and, I can assure you, the cover is absolutely gorgeous. The anthology comes out on 25 March.
In the meantime, you can pre-order the anthology via Amazon and add it on Goodreads.
