Witch Hollow and Nox Arcana

Today I received an email from one of my readers, where she was asking what kind of music I would recommend her to listen to while reading "Witch Hollow and the Wrong Spell."

I immediately remembered about an amazing band with the most beautiful yet petrifying music.

Nox Arcana.

This band is truly wonderful. Below are links to their songs and music which have been inspirational for me while I was writing "Witch Hollow and the Wrong Spell."

Enjoy the most mysterious music by Nox Arcana.

And don't forget to read "Witch Hollow and the Wrong Spell" meantime.

My new view!

Some time ago I decided that I needed a house in the highlands where I would sit in the mornings in front of the window, admire the scenery, and listen to this song:

And there, in the Highlands, I would find inspiration for my books.

And now I have a new apartment in the highlands and a view like this:

Surely, not the best photo I could take :)
Spring has arrived, and soon the view outside my window will become amazing, and I can hardly wait to start writing sitting in my balcony.

Just a dream coming true.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

I recently read Anne Brontë's both books--"Agnes Grey" and "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall".

Loved them both. Anne Bronte will always be my most favourite Bronte sister, though I have to say that my love for these amazing, talented sisters is almost equal. Still I call Anne my favourite, for I have a "thing" for underrated writers.

I loved "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" but never I expected to read a story of a domestic abuse in a Bronte book. It was strong, it was sad, it was heartbreaking sometimes.

Throughout the reading I could not believe that such a young girl coud write this type of story: a story of a mother who struggles to save her child from the terrible influence of his own father. This was a story of a courageous woman who was ready to bear insults and mental abuse to stay close to her son, and who chose life in misery for her son's well-being.

I also love her writing style, which some consider too descriptive, but I disagree. I love the Bronte sisters' style and their use of words. I wish people still talked in such beautiful, rich language as they did back in the time.

The movie:

It started with a beautiful music which immediately dragged me into the story of despair and hope. It was a good movie with great acting, beatiful scenery, and wonderful music.
Sometimes movie was slow, but it was still enjoyable.

Rewritten and republished

I remembered that I should've made a post about "Witch Hollow and the Wrong Spell" which has been rewritten and republished a few months ago.

Yep, I have become a little slow recently.

Interestingly, after the rewrite, it has been selling more.

I suppose it was too long for the first book of the series; I cut out nearly 40.000 words, and you know what? It has become better.

This is a tip to all the new authors: if you can cut out 40K words and still keep the characters and the storyline, do it!

Witch Hollow and the Fountain Riddle

The second book of the Witch Hollow series--"Witch Hollow and the Fountain Riddle" will be available soon.

Here's the cover:

Personally I love the cover :)
