April Recap and News

April 30, 2021 by JoAnna Leave a Comment

It’s been a difficult month… haven’t they all I hear you say? Well indeed, but this month I had to say goodbye to one of my fur babies. Simba was one of a kind. Abandoned on the doorstep of an empty house along with his sister, Nala, at ten days old I hand fed them despite being warned they probably wouldn’t survive. Well nine years later on… He was diagnosed with inoperable stomach cancer after losing weight and less than a week later, passed over the rainbow bridge as I cradled him in my arms. It’s never easy losing one of your furry family, and we have six more cats and three dogs so I know that this isn’t going to get any easier but Simba was special. I miss him sitting on my keyboard, or my notebook or my mouse mat… he was always nearby. But I’m thankful that he is not in any pain.

So things have been put to one side this month and I have absolutely no regrets about that.

 

I have managed to prepare for the launch of Seasons of the New Moons the introductory book to my series ‘The Luna Legends’. I will be publishing four seasons over the coming months and years, a total of 12 books. There. I’ve said it. In black and white. I shall be revealing the full cover shortly, in the meantime, a peak will have to do.

 

 

 

And I would be delighted if you joined my readers group. As a thank you for signing up, I’ve created a free reading journal for you to record the books you’ve read or want to read. And there are some other resources in there too.

Finally, I continue to practice my drawing and sketching skills on the Procreate app on my iPad. This is a rather grumpy looking rabbit, called Rodney.

 

Ciao,

JoAnna

Wolf Moon: Out Now!

March 8, 2020 by JoAnna Leave a Comment

Wolf Moon

My first fantasy novella, Wolf Moon is released today in e-book format. It’s also the birthday of my most beautiful granddaughter, Caitlin, to whom I’ve dedicated this book.

I’ve been working for the past year on making a space for my new writing persona, and this will be the first of many fantasy based stories. I have so many ideas, it’s wonderful to escape into a world of my own making and create characters that I both love and hate at the same time! I’m already working on the second ‘Moon’ based book which I plan to publish towards the end of the year.

Three Moons
Two Worlds
One Legacy

Xanthe has no idea what a Moon Princess is never mind The Book of Words.
All Xanthe has ever wanted is to meet the mother who abandoned her at the Wishing Well Centre. On the fifteenth anniversary of that date she finds herself up a tree talking to a white peacock and receives her first ever present. A map of portals.
Aided by her best and only friend, Kit, she arrives on the Kingdom of Selene. The Season of the Three Moons is nigh and as the Moon Princess, Ayla she must free the Moon People from the evil grasps of the dryad, Toovah.
Will Xanthe be able to complete the challenges set for her and defeat the evil Toovah? Does she want to? And will she finally meet the mother she dreams of?
