Anzac Day. It’s a national day of remembrance held every year on April 25th
It stands for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps And commemorates all the Australian and New Zealanders who served and died in all wars, conflicts and peace keeping missions and was originally devised to honour those who had served in the Gallipoli Campaign, the first engagement of World War 1. (1914-1918)
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
As we won’t be partaking in the Dawn Service this year, I have decided to share a recipe for Anzac Biscuits. Yes, I said biscuit not cookie.

I am over the moon to announce that I’ll be co-writing a story with my bestie Z. Xolton for CALL OF MAGIC!
When power beckons, anyone can answer. Let the call of magic charm you!
Curses and hexes haunt the worlds of the witches, werewolves, dragons, vampires and the hunters who stalk them in the night.
Pendragon is now available!
It’s the third and final instalment of the Camelot series.
If you haven’t read the first two you can pick up the first two in this duology.
From the day he was born, Mordred Pendragon believed himself cursed.
That nothing good could come from the union of Morgan Le Fay and Arthur Pendragon.
But what if it did?
And what if Mordred’s path is not the one defined by history?

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ve probably noticed one thing… well two things actually.
I write Paranormal Romance… and, I love faeries.
So, I combined both of those and now write A LOT of speculative fiction with faerie centric characters or themes.
My personal viewpoint on fey origin stories is that they’re gods or demi gods. I wouldn’t call them daemons as such only because from a Pagan standpoint the gods tend to take on various aspects. Therefore there’s both light and dark/benevolent and malevolent/winter and summer fey, and I don’t think that’s as clear cut either.
And right now, I have three 10,000+ word stories available in Limited Edition anthologies… which won’t be around forever.
Grab your copies now if you haven’t already!
Of Fables and Fae $2.99
My story, STOLEN features within.
Never make a deal with a faerie. You might find yourself bargaining your newborn daughter’s life as payment.
My father told me the story long before I could talk. I knew it by heart. Together, he and my brother had hunted and killed every last faerie they could find. All to save me from my fate.
For five hundred years the women in my family were taken as payment for a debt owed to the faerie lord. And paid with their lives. Humans weren’t designed to live in Faerie. We were too fragile.
But I’m not like those who have come before me. I’m strong, not weak. I will survive and one day, I will be free.
The next is, Midsummer Night Shifts $2.99
My story, IN MY BLOOD features within.
Twenty-one-year-old, Evie is one of the last Quinn female wolf shifters.
Born to mixed lineage and not quite fey nor quite wolf, Evie has grown up thinking herself more wolf than fey, while following pack orders. But all that’s about to change.
Summoned to Arcadia by the Queen of the Summer Court, Evie finds herself nothing more than a pawn to strengthen her cousin’s hold on the throne.
But both women are keeping secrets, however, only Evie’s catch up to her during the Solstice Ball which forces her to flee with two unlikely companions, Fianna and Cole.
Now back home, Evie attempts to capture her own happily ever after… but will she?
The last is, Falling For Shifters $2.99
My story, A RUEFUL EQUINOX features within.
Fox Donovan has never quite belonged in either the Winter Court or the Summer Court.
His marriage to wolf shifter, Violet Grayson leads to further complications. Especially now that there’s war on the horizon.
What will happen when family and court politics collide?
… and a hell of a lot of other amusing things, as I find myself buried under a ever growing mountain of research. I’ve somewhat insanely decided to throw my hat in the ring for Harlequin’s Historical Romance “Warriors Wanted” Blitz.
Honestly, I’m a tad scared. It’s taken days to get to this point. I have 25 point very rough synopsis that needs some TLC.
Two main characters I don’t really know… and yet… I’m still drawn, irrevocably so, to Wales – yet again. It doesn’t take much, really. Wales is in my blood. Granted, only 25%… down from my maternal grandmother, but still.
What period? Well… that would be telling. And just for now I’m keeping it a secret. I’ll reveal my chosen time period And lots more in another blog post.

Bringing together the stories Morrighan and Le Fay, it’s the perfect way to read both before Pendragon comes out and finishes the series.
Ten-year-old, Morgan is horribly lonely with just her cat, Merlin for company. With no one else to play with, Morgan seeks the company of an imaginary friend, Arthur.
But, Arthur, isn’t who he seems and things turn sinister, when he reveals himself to be none other than Arthur Pendragon, Prince of Camelot, before locking Morgan up in the bowels of the earth in a long forgotten crystal cave.
When she escapes she wants nothing more than to avenge her father’s murder.
Now an adult and gifted with a very powerful ally in the form of the Morrighan, Morgan is able to enact her revenge. But it comes at a steep price: the knowledge of Arthur’s premature death.
Can Morgan prevent the Goddess’s prediction from coming true or is Camelot destined to fall?

Well 2020 is upon us and I had exactly four goals last year. So, for those of you wondering how I did, here’s a recap.
1. Write 300 words a day.
I did it! Over the last year I averaged 386 words a day.
2. Publish… something.
No, I didn’t publish any of the novels in my series. But I did manage to publish a few shorter works and get a bunch of short stories and poetry accepted, as well as publish four anthologies under Iron Faerie Publishing.
3. Write weekly blogs.
Yes! And sometimes daily blogs.
4. Read more.
I’m not sure I read more but I read. So… yes?
So, what am I embarking on this year?
Well for 2020 I’m going to…
1. Write 500 words a day.
2. Publish Book One of the Eldritch Series.
3. Finish Books 7, 8 & 9 of the Eldritch Series.
Now that my goals are out of the way, what are your goals? Writing or otherwise… feel free to list some or all of them in the comments.
And… HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I hope 2020 brings you everything you wish for!
Hawthorn & Ash is the third anthology from Iron Faerie Publishing and the first in a series of drabbles and flash fiction that will be published yearly.
Stories I have included are:
Briar Rose, Locked Out, Blood Magic, Kept Promises, Kiss of Death & Intangible.
It comes out officially on the 6th December 2019! Just in time for Christmas!
Yup! It’s that time of year again… no, I’m not talking about Halloween. Although it is coming up awfully fast and I’ll blog about that in another post. I’m talking about NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month for those not in the know)
Every year since November 2005, I’ve participated. And every year, bar 2008, I’ve won.
This year, I’ve decided to not be a rebel and write a novel from scratch. 50,000 words – all of them new. In an effort to kickstart a new series.
So far, beyond the main characters and setting, I’ve done little pre-NaNo planning.
Basically, I’m winging it and pantsing. It’s worked quite well in the past and whatever doesn’t work post NaNoWriMo will be edited out.
I’m thinking I might post snippets every day of November so you can see a little of my progress along the way.
Anyone else doing NaNoWriMo? Let me know in the comments below! I could use some buddies throughout the month.
For those who might want to look me up, I go by Rhiannon Brid on the forums.
