A very nice (and unexpected) review of Oak and Mist from Kris at Crumpled Paper Cranes! Thank you xx
Available on Amazon via Kindle and paperback.

I’ve yet to read it Helen, although I have it and it is in my reading queue, but if it is anywhere near as good as your other writing, I’m sure this is a well deserved review! I am looking forward to reading it.😊
Thanks Ali, and thank you for sharing as well 🙂 I’ve started your latest book but haven’t had time to get too far (though I’m really enjoying it so far) – looking forward to having some reading time when I’m away next week! xx
Oooh… where are you going? I’m looking forward to seeing some lush photos and inspirational posts! 😀

Woow fantastic! Have a great trip!
Thank you xx
A great review. I’d be pleased with that!
Thanks Mick – yes, I’m very pleased!
I read it. I’m on book 2. It really is a great series.
Thanks Kristin!
