An image of an upset Mabel Shirley and the text indicating the hero's sacrifice.
From ancient myths to modern fantasy, it’s sacrifice that makes a victory feel real, the price a hero pays that lingers long after the tale is told.
In my latest piece I explore why a hero’s sacrifice resonates so deeply.

Back at the keyboard after a break. I’m now writing a series based on Mabel Shirley from The Corpse Door—a woman with arcane magical gifts, drawn into the war in 1916. A website is on the way to house her world and case files.

Another day, another Facebook like followed by a sales pitch. I've pinned a polite message to the top of my author page—because this space is for readers, not cold calls. I get it, we’ve all got bills to pay. But still. Feel free to borrow the image or the wording if it helps.
