Welcome to the world of Anestra and the Western Coast,
the home of the Destiny’s Rebel trilogy!

*

Enter an imaginary world of castles and kingdoms, swords and sailing ships, gods and a sacred relic,
and follow the fortunes of Kat (Princess Katelin of Anestra) as she struggles to become Queen.

The Destiny’s Rebel trilogy is listed as Teenage/Young Adult fantasy,
but the content is suitable for able readers from ages 10 & 11 upwards, and adults enjoy them too!

If you’d like to watch a video of me reading some of Chapter One, you can find it on this next page: Destiny’s Rebel.

Kat never asked to be in line to be Queen. Eleven days until she comes of age and she feels suffocated. Bullied by her guardians and oppressed by expectation, Kat dreads the Coronation Day that will end her dreams of freedom and adventure. She refuses to surrender to her fate and runs away – straight into a different kind of trap.

The second book, Destiny’s Revenge, was released in 2017:

Is there anyone you’d die to save?

Plague strikes Anestra city, reaching even to the Royal Family.
Queen Katelin and her friends embark on a race against time to trace the cause of the affliction,
facing enemies old and new in a desperate quest to save her people.
But how can she fight something that holds the power of life and death over them all?
Must she make a deal with the gods?
And is she willing to sacrifice her own life to rescue those she loves?

*
The trilogy concluded with Destiny’s Ruin in 2018:

Where can you hide when the whole world is against you?

Ambushed on her way back to the city of Anestra,
Queen Katelin takes refuge in the Manniswood.
She learns of a plot to steal her throne,
and finds both allies and enemies in her struggle to control the Kingdom.
But other events overtake her personal struggles,
events which threaten to change the Western Coast for ever.

If you’re the sort of reader (as I am) who hates it when a book ends on a cliff-hanger or a twist, just to make you buy the next in a series, then please be assured that my stories resolve properly at the end of each novel. My trilogy each contains a separate story, with largely the same characters and setting, but following on from each other in time. That’s what I like to read, so that’s what I write.

What a great life. I still have to pinch myself to believe that I’m living this particular dream.
